The TABER® Rotary Platform Abraser (Abrader) was developed to perform accelerated wear testing. First introduced in the 1930's, this precision built instrument rapidly became the world standard for evaluating abrasion resistance. Since its inception, the Taber Abraser has been used for quality & process control, research & development and material evaluation. Used to test a wide spectrum of materials, the abraser (abrader) has been referenced in numerous standards and specifications and is frequently called a Rotary Platform Dual (Double) Head Tester

The TABER Oscillating Abrasion Tester – Model 6100 is best known as an “oscillating sand tester” and is used to measure the resistance of a material to surface abrasion and scratching. It’s primary application is for transparent materials and coatings utilized in windows and lenses, but it can also be used to evaluate organic coatings, plastics, metals and other materials.

Coated and uncoated surfaces need to be tested for resistance to abrasion caused by a brush, sponge, or other means. Examples for testing include interior paints, wall coverings, carpets, floor tiles, polishes, bath tubs, shower stalls, and furniture.
Abrasion instruments producing repeated small-scale patterns of damage caused by attrition or erosion under controlled conditions simulate best everyday use or wear patterns. The rubbing method may also be used to test efficiencies of detergents or cleansers or to test the durability of an abrading or cleaning device such as a scouring pad.
The BYK-Gardner Abrasion Tester helps evaluate washability and abrasion resistance of a material. The tester reciprocates an abrasive force linearly over the sample.
- Reciprocating linear motion at 37.0 ±1 cycles per minute with a constant speed over a 10 inch travel
- Utilizes a brush, sponge, or abrasive paper to simulate real life situations that must meet several standards
- Completely enclosed electrical and mechanical components - for dry or wet testing
- Preset count-down counter with automatic shut-off and standard cycle counter provided for versatile testing
- Heavy-duty drive system allows for easy maintenance and a long-life
- Meets ASTM D 2486
The drive mechanism consists of a gearhead motor driving the motor drive pulley gear. The rotary motion of this gear drives a smaller gear, the chain drive pulley, using a timing belt. The smaller gear drives a set of sprockets and continuous loop mechanism. The cable pair ends are attached to the virtual center of the chain, transforming the rotary motion of the chain into the reciprocating linear motion.

FTC STANDARD SHEAR COMPRESSION CELL (CS-1)
The Kramer Shear Cell from Food Technology Corporation is the single most successful test fixture used for food texture measurement as it faithfully reproduces what happens when a product is consumed. The objective measurements made are very closely related to the human experience of chewing foods and is used throughout the world to grade the textural properties of food products ranging from apples to zucchini.
The fixture compresses, shears and extrudes the sample to measure firmness, fibrousness, tenderness and similar mouthfeel properties of food products.
The use of the Kramer Shear Cell means a larger sample size can be tested, which helps to minimise standard deviations in test results, common to tests measuring fewer samples. Particulates, in particular can be easily assessed using this fixture to measure them in bulk rather than more awkwardly in single form.
The FTC Standard Shear Compression Cell or “Kramer” Shear Cell (CS-1) consists of a sample holder, slotted lid and movable blade assembly. The inside of the sample holder measures 2.6” (66mm) wide by 2.6” (66mm) long by 2.5” (64mm) deep, and holds a volume of 16.9 cubic inches (227ml). The cell lid has 10 slots, which accommodate the 10 parallel, 1/8” (3.2mm) thick blades. The movable blades are attached to the load cell and are forced through the test sample producing a force proportional to the sum of both the shear and compression failure point of the test sample.
To find out more about this product, contact FTC now.

Constant Tension Tester, CTT is the only yarn test instrument that is available as a mini textile laboratory. The machine allows more than 10 different yarn quality control tests to be run on the same machine.
The unique CTT design provides the ability to test natural and synthetic yarns as well as the high performance yarns such as carbon, glass or hybrid yarns that cannot be tested with conventional capacitive based systems. The CTT uses dynamic test principle to measure the yarn properties. This means every section of the yarn will be tested as the tension on the yarn remains constant.
The CTT test list includes Dynamic Tensile Strength, Elongation, Shrinkage, Friction (Yarn to Pin and Yarn to Yarn),Stick/Slip, Abrasion, Entanglement Count, Lint and Optical Yarn Evenness for hairiness, thick places, thin places, neps and slub count, which are all done on the same machine using different attachments. Switching from one test to another is very easy and it only takes seconds.
Operation
Maintains a pre-selected tension, between 0.5g and 700g, at a selected speed, up to 360 m/min. This function provides the capability to perform different test configurations. It also eliminates the tension variation of the yarn coming off the package.
Versatility
Any measuring head or testing apparatus can be mounted on the basic CTT unit and inserted into the constant tension zone.
Measures every millimeter of yarn at speeds up to 20 km/hour. The basic unit performs two significant tests:
* A. Dynamic Breaking Strength
* B. Weak Spot Detection
Endusers: Yarn manufacturers, fiber producers, weavers and knitters.

DIL 402 CD - Vacuum-tight, horizontal pushrod dilatometer
Are higher sample throughput, direct comparison of samples, and online calibration of expansion measurements important requirements for you? With the new dilatometer DIL 402 CD we handle these tasks perfectly with our unique, new instrument concept.
The measuring system employs two high resolution inductive displacement transducers; with its design using low-expansion invar and broad thermostatic control for highest accuracy, reproducibility and long term stability, it is capable of application temperatures up to 1600°C
The horizontal instrument construction offers specific advantages, especially for the dual sample arrangement: homogeneous heating of both samples, simple sample insertion, safety during sample decomposition or melting, and effective protection of the measuring system by gas flow. The operation remains simple and safe through exact sample arrangement at the specific sample support in the cutout of the tube sample support, the individual motorized movement and zero setting of both push rods and the easy to move furnace. Various furnace systems allow optimal adjustment at specific measuring tasks.
Routine measurements with high sample throughput and accurate comparison measurements are two further important application fields of this new dual- and differential dilatometer.
