Martindale Abrasion Tester

The Martindale Abrasion Tester simulates the surface wear process of materials by rubbing circular specimens against standard abrasives under fixed pressure along a Lissajous trajectory. It is used to test the abrasion resistance of fabrics, leather, coatings, and other materials to evaluate their durability.
Selection
When selecting, consider compliance with testing standards, adaptability to sample dimensions, coverage of pressure range requirements, counting accuracy, and instrument stability. Determine the type of abrasive based on the material, ensure fixture suitability, and verify the availability of calibration services.

Rubber Wheel Method for Determining the Wear Resistance of Floor Coatings
This article introduces a test method for evaluating the wear resistance of floor coatings using the rubber wheel method. The method quantifies wear resistance by measuring the mass loss of the coating surface after a specified number of rotations under a defined load, where a rubber wheel rubs against the coating.
Evaluation of the Sand Abrasion Method in Assessing the Wear Resistance of Thick Paste Coatings
This article introduces the method of testing the abrasion resistance of thick slurry coatings using the sand-falling method. The sand-falling method involves allowing sand particles to fall from a fixed height to impact the coating, and measuring the amount of sand required to wear through the coating to evaluate abrasion resistance. The more sand used, the more abrasion-resistant the coating is.
Application of Sand Abrasion Tester in the Coatings Industry
The sand falling abrasion tester evaluates the wear resistance of coatings by allowing standard abrasives to fall from a fixed height to impact the coating surface and measuring the amount of abrasive required to wear away a certain thickness.
