Taber Rotary Abrasion Testing
topic
The Taber abraser rotates a fabric specimen against two loaded abrading wheels simultaneously, measuring mass loss per 1000 cycles; interchangeable wheel types from coarse tungsten carbide to fine calibrase allow simulation of different abrasive environments from industrial to light consumer contact.
Role
Widely used for coated fabrics, technical textiles, and composite materials where surface coating durability under rotary contact stress must be quantified for automotive, industrial, and outdoor product applications.
