Taber abrading wheels produce characteristic rub wear action Mounted to a rotating turntable, specimens are subjected to the rub-wear action of two abrasive wheels. Driven by the test sample, the wheels produce abrasion marks that form a pattern of crossed arcs over a circular ring approximately 30 square centimeters. This reveals abrasion resistance at all angles relative to the weave or grain of the material. Test wear and durability of ceramics, plastics, textiles, flooring, paper, metals and coated surfaces & wide range of products. Single and dual sample table models.
