Taber Abrasion Tester

Used for measuring the abrasion resistance of prepared coatings according to ASTM norm D 4060 - 01. The abrading wheels are resilient wheels that offer a mild-medium abrading action like that of normal handling, cleaning, and polishing. The wheels are refaced periodically with a refacing disc. The abrasion resistance of the coating is quantified by periodically measuring the mass (volume) loss of the coatings or determined qualitatively by the visual end point method.
