Hose Abrasion Tester

Hose Abrasion Tester
A specialized testing instrument designed to evaluate the abrasion resistance and durability of flexible hoses—including rubber, plastic, and composite hoses—used in industrial, automotive, and hydraulic applications. This machine simulates real-world wear scenarios, such as hoses rubbing against surfaces, machinery, or other objects during use, to assess resistance to damage, leakage, or structural failure.

 

Equipped with adjustable parameters (abrasion speed, contact pressure, and test duration), the tester operates by:

 

  • Securing the hose sample and exposing it to a standardized abrasive surface (e.g., sandpaper, metal, or concrete) or a rotating/reciprocating abrasive element.
  • Measuring key metrics: the number of cycles until visible wear (scratches, thinning, or cracking), weight loss, or loss of functionality (e.g., pressure retention).

 

Key applications include testing hoses for:

 

  • Automotive & Transportation: Fuel hoses, brake hoses, and coolant hoses subject to vibration and contact with vehicle components.
  • Industrial & Hydraulics: Hydraulic hoses, pneumatic hoses, and industrial hoses used in construction, mining, or manufacturing machinery.
  • Marine & Agriculture: Hoses for irrigation, chemical transfer, or marine systems exposed to harsh environments and physical abrasion.

 

Compliant with international standards such as ISO 6945, SAE J2006, and DIN 20066, this tester is essential for hose manufacturers, automotive suppliers, and quality control labs. It ensures hoses meet durability requirements, reducing the risk of leaks, downtime, or safety hazards in critical applications.
