Abrasive Wear Testing Machine (Wet Sand/Rubber Wheel)
MLS-225
Slurry abrasion tester for determining the abrasion resistance of various materials using a rubber wheel rotating in wet abrasive slurry
The wet sand/rubber wheel abrasive wear testing machine is designed for evaluating the wear resistance of materials in wet abrasive environments. Using a rotating rubber wheel and a slurry of abrasive particles mixed with water, it simulates real-world working conditions to assess material durability.
| Max. test force | 225N |
| Diameter of rubber wheel | 178mm |
| Thickness of rubber wheel | 12.7mm |
| Hardness of rubber wheel | Shore hardness 50/60/70 |
| Speed of rubber wheel | 100-500 r/min |
Complies with the requirements of ASTM B611-2013, the standard test method for determining the abrasion resistance of materials.
The slurry abrasion tester performs wear tests under defined pressure and sliding friction conditions, where the rotating rubber wheel drives a mixture of water, mineral sand, and other abrasive particles against the specimen surface. This setup allows accurate measurement of the wear strength of metallic and non-metallic materials.
With adjustable parameters such as wheel speed and applied load, the machine can replicate diverse operating conditions. It is widely used for agricultural machinery, construction equipment, mining machines, excavation tools, and transport machinery. In addition, it provides research institutions with a reliable instrument for abrasive wear mechanism studies and laboratory-based material screening.
