Taber Industries is an active member or participant in many industry organizations that are involved in the creation and release of test methods and guidelines.We welcome the opportunity to participate in the development of new procedures or to refer to the review of existing methods of Taber abrasion tester.
If you need help setting up a project that will provide the test data needed to make informed material performance decisions, please feel free to contact us.

Meaning of Taber wear test?
 
Taber abrasion test refers specifically to the measurement of sliding contact caused by material wear test. Examples of such contact are scratching, grinding and friction. The test, also known as abrasion test or wear resistance test, is particularly suitable for geology, engineering and Metallurgy and other fields.
 
In these technical areas, taber abrasion test is important to determine the durability of the materials used in production and application. Through wear testing, manufacturers can also test the degree of harm to the environment caused by corrosion of materials.
 
In general, there are three types of wear tests. We have plane wear tests where material corrosion is caused by surface friction. Next, we conduct edge wear tests and test the edges of the material, which is particularly important for the textile industry. Finally, we also have bending wear, that is, testing to determine changes in the material after folding, bending or bending.

What is Taber abrasion tester?
 
Taber abrasion testers are mainly used in luggage, carpet, cardboard, clothing, glass, plastic coating, tile, metal coating, paint, varnish, decorative sheet, high pressure sheet, plastic, textiles, flexible mats, traffic paint, electrochemical aluminum, electronic components, decorative panels, wax, labels, leather, dental materials, automotive interior, resin, furniture and other wear tests.

Standards:
1. DIN 53754 Testing of plastics; determination of abrasion, abrasive disk method 
2. DIN 53109 Testing of paper and board; determination of abrasion by the abrasion wheel method
3. DIN 52347  Testing of glass and plastics; abrasion test; method using abrasion wheels and measurement of scattered light
4. TAPPI T476  Abrasion loss of paper and paperboard (Taber-type method)
5. ASTM D1044 Standard Test Method for Resistance of Transparent Plastics to Surface Abrasion
6. ASTM D3884 Standard guide for abrasion resistance of textile fabrics (Rotary platform, double-head method)
7. ISO-5470  Rubber- or plastics-coated fabrics - Determination of abrasion resistance

TABER abrasion tester can be replaced by wheel and weight, which apply to the abrasion resistance performance test on fabric, cardboard, paint, leather, tile, glass and natural rubber.
