Abrasion tester is used to determines the resistance of elastomers by the frictional loss of the rubber in products, such as tires, conveyor belts, hoses, footwear, floor covering etc. The durability and longevity of these products are directly tied to their resistance to abrasive forces, making accurate testing vital for quality control and product development.

Abrasion Tester Systems

Abrasion Testers support repeatable wear evaluation across QC and R&D by standardizing abrasion media, load, and cycle control to match your sample-prep workflow. From rubber and plastics to coatings, textiles, and building materials, these systems help keep results consistent across batches. Use the table below to compare the best option for your lab.
