Do You Know About Abrasion Testing And Its All
Types?

• Abrasion Testing is the measure of aggregate
  toughness and abrasion resistance such as
  crushing, degradation and disintegration of
  rubber products using a Laboratory abrasion
  tester. Abrasion testing is a necessity for
  rubber and related product manufacturers who are
  interested in producing high-quality products
  with a long lifespan. 
• Importance of Abrasion testing
• The primary reason companies conduct abrasion
  resistance tests is to ensure they are producing
  a quality product that is free from defects
  consistent in performance and will endure
  throughout its life cycle.
• For many products, an established test protocol
  has been developed to ensure test results are
  comparable.  This allows a company to demonstrate
  they meet a minimum performance standard.

• Testing can help a company gain a competitive
  advantage by showing how it performs compared to
  the competition.
• Another advantage of testing is to evaluate the
  impact of supplier or material changes before
  they are implemented.  In todays competitive
  environment, lower cost options may be appealing
  but have unintended negative consequences on
  product quality.
• While a lab test may not represent the actual
  conditions materials are exposed to, testing can
  duplicate many real world conditions allowing you
  to have higher reproducibility with your
  evaluations.
• Abrasion testing plays an important role in
  developing consumer products which will undergo
  wear in their lifetime.

• With a multitude of different testing methods
  available, it can be difficult to decide which
  test to use. So it is important to analyze the
  equipment and methods of all different testing
  types. The different types of abrasion testing
  methods available to manufacturers and include
• These solutions are versatile, affordable, easy
  to operate and allow the user to evaluate a lot
  of things. The include
• Two-body abrasive wearing test It is done to
  evaluate the impact when hard particles are
  forced against and moved along a solid surface.
• Sliding wearing test This is used to test the
  abrasion that occurs between two solid bodies and
  is generated from a reciprocating motion

• 3. Mar abrasion test This test is used to
  evaluate the permanent deformations that have not
  ruptured the surface of a coating, but tend to
  disfigure or change the appearance of its
  surface.
• 4. Rolling abrasion test This happens when
  abrasive particles or debris are allowed to
  roll between the surface and a contacting
  substance. This will test such impact on tyres
  and other rubber products.
• Testing involves a lot of equipment such as Creep
  stress relaxation tester, Shrink force tester,
  Ct cord fatigue tester, Ozone chamber.
• Knowing which test method your industry uses is
  typically the first step to determining which
  instrument is right for your application.

However in many cases, material advances are
outpacing test method development and historic
methods may not be applicable. This leaves many
manufacturers guessing which instrument they
should be using. To get the latest testing done
