The Industry Standard for Accelerated Wear Resistance Testing
The QualiTA-III Taber-Type Rotary Abrader is the definitive instrument for evaluating the abrasion resistance and durability of coatings, plastics, textiles, flooring, and laminates. Compliant with ASTM D4060, ISO 5470, and dozens of other international standards, it simulates real-world wear conditions in a controlled laboratory environment.
By rotating a specimen under two weighted abrasive wheels, the QualiTA-III creates a distinctive cross-hatched wear pattern that abrades the material from all angles relative to the grain. This method calculates the Mass Loss (mg) or Wear Index, providing quantifiable data on how well your material withstands friction and rubbing.
Industrial Applications
Determine the wear life of wood flooring, vinyl, and high-pressure laminates (HPL) by counting cycles to failure (wear-through).
Test the adhesion and hardness of automotive paints, lacquers, and powder coatings according to ASTM D4060.
Evaluate fabric pilling and abrasion resistance on upholstery, safety clothing, and synthetic leather.
Key Features & Advantages
-
ā
Modern Touch Screen Control: Operates via a color touch screen interface for easy setting of cycle counts, turntable speed (60/72 RPM), and vacuum controls.
-
ā
Integrated Vacuum System: Includes a precision vacuum cleaner with adjustable nozzle height. This removes loose debris and abrasive dust in real-time, preventing "clogging" of the wheels and ensuring consistent test results.
-
ā
Adjustable Load System: Comes with stainless steel weights to achieve standard loads of 500g, 750g, or 1000g per arm. Weights are clearly marked for total load (Arm + Weight).
-
ā
Quick-Release Hub: Features a quick-release mounting nut for fast wheel changes without tools.
-
ā
Genuine Accessories Included: Ships with genuine TaberĀ® brand abrasive wheels (CS-10 or CS-17 selected at order) and S-11 resurfacing discs to ensure immediate compliance.
ā ļø Model Selection Guide
