Scrub resistance abrasion tester TABER® ABRASER 352 D

multifunctionrotationalfor coating

Short description
The TABER® ABRASER 352 D (Type 1750) is a rotary abraser with a platform configured for two specimen holders, designed for controlled abrasion testing of coatings and materials.

Description
The TABER® ABRASER 352 D is a robust benchtop instrument with precision drive and control components housed in an aluminium enclosure. Operation is via an LCD touchscreen providing test status, visual reference of completed tests, cycle/time display (elapsed or remaining), programmable pause intervals and language selection. The model 352 D (Type 1750) features two specimen holders for parallel or comparative abrasion tests.

Purpose and application
Resistance to abrasion is a key mechanical property for surface materials. The TABER® ABRASER method is widely referenced in national and international standards and is used for testing paints, coatings, rubber, paper, leather, ceramics, textiles and metals in R&D, production and quality control environments.

Principle of the test
Abrasion is produced by two abrasive wheels applying a defined force to the rotating specimen holder. The typical test pattern uses an X-shaped grid traced on the specimen surface.

Test methods

• Weight loss method: The specimen is subjected to a specified number of rotations; material loss is quantified by differential weighing.
• Visual final test method: The specimen is abraded until the substrate or a defined endpoint becomes visible; the number of cycles indicates wear.
• Abrasion depth determination: After a set number of cycles, abrasion depth is measured using a micrometer.
