Technical Specification

Rubber Hose Abrasion Tester is designed to determine the resistance of rubber hose outer cover to abrasion. The instrument permits to perform standard tests and to customize test conditions. It can be successfully used both for production control and for research and development purposes.

The hose under test rotates at a constant speed while the abrasion tool moves back and forth, parallel to the axis of the hose. During each test cycle the hose performs a complete rotation and the abrasion tool performs a complete back and forth movement.

The instrument automatically stops, when the set number of cycles has been performed.

The evaluation of the result is made by checking if the hose has rigid helix exposed and by measuring the quantity of material removed from the abrasion tool.
