Taber wear testing machine use and maintenance plan
The Taber wear tester mainly uses different kinds of friction wheels to rotate on the sample to test the wear resistance of leather and plastic materials by means of rotary grinding. It is widely used in performance testing of metals, coatings, sheet surfaces, coating materials, textiles, leather, rubber and other fields. For this widely used instrument, this paper focuses on analyzing some precautions for its use, operation and maintenance: 1. Principle test principle: The test sample is placed on a rotating platform, and the two rolling friction wheels above it Under a certain load, the sample is subjected to rotational friction motion to wear the sample. One friction wheel faces outward and the other friction wheel faces inward to rub the sample, forming a circular wear mark. The degree of wear of the specimens was evaluated visually after the specified number of rubs. 2. Operation instructions Test preparation: 1. Fix the test sample on the test turntable, select the required test weight and install it, and ensure that the test grinding wheel does not contact the sample fixing fixture during the test. 2. Turn the governor switch to the lowest level. 3. After setting the number of tests according to the test requirements, the whole machine is in the test state. Operating Specifications: 1. Connect the appropriate power supply 220V or 110V according to the label 2. Adjust the switch of the governor to the lowest level to avoid excessive speed and cause abnormality of the machine. 3. Turn on the power, test the machine first, and turn off the power if there is no abnormality. 4. Press the reset button to reset the counter to zero. Set the number of tests required according to the requirements, and the counter can be set up to 99999999 times. 5. Press the RST key on the counter to clear the counter, press>Press the key for five seconds to enter the setting of the number of tests. The eight digits on the counter from the lower right to the upper left respectively represent the digit to ten million digits. For example, if it is set to 280360 times, press>key to adjust the beating value to the third number from the upper left, press the ∧ key to set the value to 2, and then press>key to adjust the beating value to the fourth number from the upper left, press the ∧ key to set the value to 8, and then press>key to adjust the beating value to the third digit from the lower right, press the ∧ key to set the value to 3, and then press>Press the ∧ key to adjust the beating value to the second digit from the lower right, and set the value to 6, and all other positions can be set to zero. Set the required number of tests according to the test requirements: 6. Press the start button to complete the machine. will enter the test state. 7. Adjust the governor to adjust the speed to the required test speed. 8. Turn on the power switch of the vacuum cleaner to make it work. 9. After the test reaches the set times of the counter, the machine automatically stops and is in a standby state. 10. Turn off the power, remove the test sample, and clean the machine. 3. Maintenance matters 1. The instrument must be placed on a stable ground before use. 2. It is not allowed to manipulate the machine during use; In case of abnormality, please contact our company for timely handling; 5. The machine must have a good ventilation environment when working. 6. For each component of the button machine, due to the large operating load, please add lubricating oil to the mechanical part in time; 7. After each test, clean the machine and keep it clean; For more information, please visit the official website: http://www .standard-groups.com

The Heat Contact Machine GT-C101 is a specialized testing instrument designed for evaluating the heat resistance and thermal protective performance of gloves, protective clothing, and other heat-resistant materials used in high-temperature environments. In industries such as smelting, casting, welding, and glass manufacturing, workers are frequently exposed to intense heat, making accurate testing of contact heat resistance essential for ensuring safety and compliance.
GT-C101 simulates real working conditions by measuring heat transfer delay and thermal transmission under instant contact with high-temperature surfaces. Fully compliant with EN 407, EN 702, and ISO 12127-1 standards, this machine provides precise, repeatable data for manufacturers, laboratories, and research institutions. With high-temperature capability up to 500°C, advanced calorimetry, digital monitoring, and adjustable contact speed, the Heat Contact Machine GT-C101 is an indispensable tool for developing and certifying next-generation PPE and heat-insulation materials.
Cut resistance is one of the most critical performance indicators in personal protective equipment (PPE) testing, directly affecting worker safety in high-risk industries such as metal processing, machinery manufacturing, and emergency rescue. The TDM Cut Test Machine GT-KC28 plays a vital role in accurately evaluating the cut resistance of PPE products, including gloves, protective clothing, footwear materials, composite materials, rubber, and industrial textiles.
By adopting high-precision force control systems, intelligent data processing, and stable transmission technology, the GT-KC28 TDM Cut Tester can accurately measure the critical cutting force of materials and ensure excellent repeatability and comparability of test results. Its user-friendly touch-screen operation, comprehensive data storage, USB data export, and built-in thermal printer greatly improve laboratory efficiency and data traceability.
The TDM Cut Test Machine GT-KC28 fully complies with major international and national standards such as ISO 13997, EN 388, ASTM F2992/F2992M, ANSI/ISEA 105, and GB 24541-2022, making it a reliable solution for PPE manufacturers, third-party testing laboratories, and research institutions. Through precise and standardized cut resistance testing, the GT-KC28 helps reduce industrial cutting injuries, supports PPE certification across global markets, and ensures that protective equipment delivers reliable safety performance in real-world applications.
