Taber Abrasion Tester Tests the Abrasion Resistance of Automotive Knitted Fabrics


Taber Abrasion Tester Tests the Abrasion Resistance of Automotive Knitted Fabrics


In addition to safety and aesthetics, car knitted seat fabrics also need to pay attention to their durability during use. The durability of knitted fabrics is the performance of pointer fabrics against damage caused by the combined action of various factors (mechanical, physical, chemical and microorganisms) under certain conditions of use. 


Although there are many reasons why knitted fabrics are damaged during use, it has been proved that wear and tear is one of the main reasons for damage. When knitted fabrics are used as car seat fabrics, the reasons that affect their wear resistance in actual use are quite complicated, but the main reason is still the characteristics of the fibers that make up the knitted fabric, the structure of the knitted fabric, and the finishing process. In order to meet the requirements of the automobile industry for the abrasion resistance of car seat fabrics, and to be closer to the actual use state of car seats, various auto OEMs have put forward quite strict test methods and standards for fabric abrasion resistance testing (see below). Table), only by fully understanding these, can we combine the process plan that not only meets the appearance requirements of the automobile OEM, but also meets its internal standards. 


The Taber Abrasion Tester can be used to test the abrasion resistance of automotive knitted fabrics. 

Main parameters: 

01. Test piece: outer diameterφ108mm, inner diameterφ6mm; 

02. Grinding wheel:φ2″(MAX.52mm) 1/2″(W); 

03. The distance between the centers of the grinding wheel: 63.5mm; 

04. The distance between the centers of the grinding wheel and the test disc: 37~38mm; 

05. The rotation speed: 60/72 rpm; 06. Load: 250g, 750g, 1000g; 07. Counter: LCD liquid crystal display, 0~999999, automatic shutdown; 08. Distance between the test piece and the vacuum cleaner: 3mm.

There are a lot of businesses today that are very much in demand and one of them is a textile testing equipment.
