Accelerotor Abrasion Resistance Tester GT-C109

Application

This AATCC Accelerotor is intended for evaluating the resistance of fabrics and other flexible materials to abrasion.

Accelerator Abrasion Tester Principle

1. 1.An unfettered fabric specimen is driven by an impeller (rotor) along a zigzag course in a generally circular orbit within a cylindrical chamber, so that is abradant liner of the chamber while at the same time being continually subjected to extremely rapid, high velocity impacts.
2. 2.The specimen is subjected to flexing, rubbing shock, compression, stretching and other mechanical forces during the test. Abrasion is produced throughout the specimen by rubbing of yarn against yarn, fiber against fiber, surface against surface and surface against abradant.

3.Evaluation is made on the basis of weight loss of the specimen or grab strength loss of the (woven) specimen when broken at an abraded fold line.
