FAQ

1. What is the DIN Abrasion Resistance Tester?

The DIN Abrasion Resistance Tester is a laboratory instrument designed to measure the wear resistance of soft materials such as rubber, synthetic leather, conveyor belts, tires, and shoe soles. It simulates real-world abrasion conditions using a rotating drum wheel and adjustable weights to ensure consistent and accurate testing.

2. What is the purpose of this tester?

This instrument evaluates how materials withstand friction and wear over time, helping manufacturers assess durability, quality, and suitability for specific applications. It is essential for quality control, material development, and compliance with international abrasion standards.

3. Why is the DIN Abrasion Resistance Tester important?

Abrasion resistance is a critical property for materials used in high-wear applications like footwear, automotive components, and industrial rubber products. Using this tester ensures that materials meet safety, performance, and longevity requirements, reducing product failures and improving customer satisfaction.

4. What can the DIN Abrasion Resistance Tester measure?

The tester measures material wear by calculating weight loss or dimensional changes after abrasion. It provides quantitative results in grams or millimeters, allowing evaluation of:

Rubber and elastomer durability

Shoe sole abrasion performance

Conveyor belt wear resistance

Synthetic leather and coating wear

5. How does the DIN Abrasion Resistance Tester work?

The specimen is mounted on the test column and positioned against a rotating drum wheel under a set load. The column moves the specimen along the wheel for a defined travel distance, typically 40 meters. A vacuum system removes debris during testing, and an electronic scale measures the weight of the specimen before and after the test. The wear value is calculated based on weight loss or thickness reduction.
