What is The Function of Taber Abrasion Tester ？

Taber test is a type of physical testing done mainly for the purpose of evaluating the abrasion or wear resistance of  textiles and other materials. It is one of the most common tests used by manufacturers to determine the quality of their products. 

Taber Type Abrasion Tester to determine the wear resistance of materials and assess its wear resistance degree, like measuring its mass loss, thickness loss, and transmittance etc. It uses a rotating abrasive wheel that is pressed against a specimen and rotates at a set speed and pressure. The specimen is subjected to multiple cycles of abrasion which are timed, measured and recorded. The test results are used to determine the abrasion resistance of the material.

Taber abrasion tester can be used to determine the product’s durability.  As the wheel or disc makes contact with the textile, it removes fibers from the surface, leaving an abrasion mark. The amount of abrasion is measured and recorded to determine the durability of the fabric.

Taber wear tester is also used to measure the impact resistance of a material. This is usually done by placing a sample of the material on a special test fixture and then using a drop weight to drop the material from a certain height. The results of this test can help manufacturers determine how well their product can withstand shocks or impacts.

Taber abrasion testing machine is applicable for flat products, like suitcases, carpet, cardboard, clothing, glass, plastic coatins, metal coating, paint, varnishes, decorative sheets, high pressure sheets, plastics, textiles, flexible floor mats, traffic paint, tile, anodizing layer, blankets, electronic components, decorative plates, wax, label, leather, dental materials, automobile interior decoration, resin, furniture, etc.

In conclusion, by testing the abrasion resistance and durability of materials, manufacturers can ensure that the products will be durable and long-lasting.Textile taber type abrasion tester is also an important tool for assessing the quality and durability of materials used in the manufacturing of various products.
