Taber abrasion resistance tester
Application
The Taber Abrasion Resistance Tester is a versatile instrument designed to evaluate wear resistance on a wide range of materials. It can perform flat grinding, mill grinding, edge grinding, folding grinding, anti-frost testing, edge-close testing, and fleece abrasion. The tester is suitable for woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, coated fabrics, fleece fabrics, socks, felt, nonwovens, deep fabrics, yarns, cords, plastic films, rubber, leather, and paper. Samples may be tested dry or immersed in water, oil, or other liquids, making it ideal for textile, leather, plastics, automotive, and industrial quality control laboratories.
Standards
The Taber Abrasion Tester meets multiple international and industry standards, including:
ASTM D3884 – Abrasion resistance of textile fabrics (rotary platform, double-head method)
ISO 9352 – Plastics: Determination of resistance to wear by abrasive wheels
ISO 5470-1 – Rubber- or plastics-coated fabrics: Determination of abrasion resistance
DIN 52347, DIN 53109 – Abrasion resistance of rubber and coated fabrics
JIS K7204, JIS A1453, JIS K6902 – Testing methods for decorative laminated sheets and coated surfaces

FAQ
1. What is the Taber Abrasion Resistance Tester?
It is an instrument designed to measure the wear resistance of materials through controlled abrasion, simulating real-life mechanical wear conditions.
2. What is this tester used for?
It evaluates the durability of textiles, leather, plastics, coatings, and paper, helping manufacturers assess product quality and lifespan.
3. Why is it important?
Surface wear affects both product aesthetics and functional performance. This tester ensures materials meet industry standards and customer expectations.
4. What materials can it test?
Woven and knitted fabrics, coated fabrics, fleece, socks, felt, nonwovens, plastics, rubber, leather, and paper—both dry and wet.
5. How does the Taber Abrasion Tester work?
The sample is clamped securely and subjected to abrasion by rotating test heads. Speed, cycles, and load are adjustable, and debris is removed via a vacuum system. Flat or mill grinding heads can be used depending on the material and desired test type.
