Taber Webbing Abrasion Tester 5820

A sample clamping bar secures the sample to the device, while a sample roller ensures that an angle of 85° (±2°) is maintained between the sample and the hexagonal scraper bar. The sample is weighted and then subjected to unidirectional reciprocating friction as it is moved back and forth across the hexagonal abrasive strip. During each test, the sample passes over two of the six abrasive edges of the 12-inch hexagonal abrasive strip.

Depending on sample width, up to three samples can be tested simultaneously. Other features of the Taber Webbing Abrasion Tester include a slotted roller channel that allows for a maximum stroke length adjustment of 12 inches (305 mm), five preset speeds including 15, 30, 37, 45 and 60 cycles per minute, a hinged transparent safety cover and a standard weight set of 2, 4 and 5.2 pounds (an optional weight set of 3 and 5 pounds is also available).

The Webbing abrasion tester 5820 materials with a Test breaking strength of over 13,500 N in accordance with ASTM D6770, MIL-W-23223B, US Department of Transportation FMCSA Part 571.209 and other internationally recognised test standards.

Abradants (scouring agents)

Two (2) fresh edges of the abrasive strip should be used for each test. If only one sample is tested at a time, the next sample can be ground on a different part of the hexagonal abrasive strip. Once the entire length of the bar has been utilised, it must be rotated to expose two (2) new edges. Once the entire surface has been utilised, the hexagonal sanding strip should be discarded and replaced.
