DIN Abrasion Tester: Precision Instrument for Wear Resistance Analysis
The DIN Abrasion Tester is a specialized device engineered to evaluate the abrasion resistance of tire tread rubber, polyurethane materials, shoe soles, and polymer flakes. Its core testing principle involves subjecting specimens to controlled friction against sandpaper of specified fineness, with abrasion resistance quantified through standardized metrics such as volume loss or weight reduction. This method simulates real-world wear conditions, providing critical data for material development, quality control, and compliance with industry standards.
The tester adheres to a comprehensive set of international and regional standards, ensuring its results are recognized and trusted across global markets:
- GB/T 9867: Chinese National Standard for rubber abrasion resistance testing, widely used in tire and rubber product industries.
- GB/T 20991: Chinese standard specifying methods for testing footwear material performance, including abrasion resistance.
- EN ISO 20344: European standard for protective footwear testing, ensuring materials meet safety and durability requirements.
- ISO 4649: International Standard for rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic—determination of abrasion resistance using a rotating cylinder method.
- DIN 53516: German Industrial Standard, the foundational specification for DIN abrasion testing, outlining procedures for rubber and elastomer evaluation.
- SATRA TM147: Standard from SATRA Technology Centre, focusing on abrasion testing for footwear components and materials.
These certifications make the DIN Abrasion Tester an essential tool for manufacturers and laboratories operating in global supply chains.
Intelligent Control System
Equipped with a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and HMI (Human-Machine Interface) featuring a large-color LCD touchscreen, the tester offers an intuitive operating experience. The interface allows for easy parameter adjustment, real-time test monitoring, and data display, minimizing human error and streamlining workflow. Its user-friendly design ensures accessibility for both seasoned technicians and new operators.
Automatic Test Cycle Management
Users can digitally preset the number of grinding cycles, with the machine automatically stopping once the target is reached. This automation eliminates the need for manual monitoring, ensuring consistent test duration and reducing the risk of operational mistakes. The precision of this function is critical for reproducibility across multiple tests.
Flexible Test Modes
The tester supports both full and half grinding cycles through simple numerical settings, eliminating the need for mechanical stop levers. This flexibility allows adaptation to diverse testing requirements, whether evaluating high-wear materials requiring extended cycles or conducting preliminary screenings with shorter durations.
Premium Calibration Components
To guarantee accuracy and compliance with DIN 53516, the tester includes:
- Original German BAW brand standard rubber: A reference material recommended by DIN 53516 for calibrating test results, ensuring measurements are traceable to international benchmarks.
- Original German VSM brand sandpaper: Compliant with DIN 53516 specifications, this sandpaper provides consistent abrasiveness, a key factor in maintaining test reproducibility across different laboratories and testing sessions.
