Taber Abrasion Tester

Taber Abrasion Tester 

Taber abrasion testing specifically refers to the test that measures material wear due to sliding contact. Examples of this type of contact are scraping, grinding and rubbing. The test is also called wear testing or abrasion resistance test, and it is particularly used in fields such as geology, engineering and metallurgy.

In these technical fields, it is important to determine the durability of materials used in production and applications. With wear testing, the manufacturer can also test the level of hazard a material can cause in the environment as it erodes.
