Universal Wear Tester

Universal Wear Tester Instruction

Universal weartester determines the wear and abrasion of plain wearing, curve wearing, edge wearing, fold wearing, frosting, welting and napping, and applies to woven fabric, knitted fabric, coated fabric, napping fabric, socks, felt, non-woven fabric, deep fabric, yarn, plastic film, rubber, leather, paper and other various materials industries. The specimen can either be dry or be soaked in water, oil or other liquid.

Universal Wear Tester Working Principle

Universal wear tester mainly consists of control system and friction system. Install the specimen to the holder and screw it tightly. Lower down the upper holder with emery polishing paper and adjust weight position so that the emery polishing paper is available to specimen surface. Pre-sets specimen friction times and starts the device. The lower specimen holder moves back and forth to make sure the friction between emery polishing paper and specimens; when the pre-set moving number runs out, take out the specimen and watch the wearing part. Universal wear tester is popular among various fabrics abrasion tests including clothing, footwear and textiles.

Universal Wear Tester Standards

ASTM D3514, ASTM D3885, ASTM D3886, AATCC 119, AATCC 120, FTMS 191/5300/5302, FORD FLTM BN 112-01

Universal Wear Tester Key Features

1. According to ASTM, the device shuts off automatically when specimen breaks; it can ensure accurate test results which are repeatable and save time for operators from evaluation tests.

2. Applies to various wear tests by changing test heads such as plain test heads (Inflated Diaphragm Abrasion Test Method), curve test heads and frosting attaching.

3. Advanced holders ensuring stable pulling pressure.
