GM Abrasion Accessories
With optional attachments, Taber’s Reciprocating Abraser can perform linear abrasion testing per test method GM specifications (GMW 14125). This test evaluates the abrasion resistance of textile specimens using a specified friction media applied to the specimen at a specified pressure force.
Depending on the type of material being evaluated, one of three specimen holders is utilized. The Wide Slot Specimen Holder includes a 32mm x 140mm opening for securing flat specimens. The Specimen Fixing Plate Kit has a 11mm x 140mm opening. Used with lightweight flexible specimens, an 8mm diameter rod is placed under the specimen to raise the specimen above the holder and help add tension. GM’s pre-tensioning device incorporates a dial to raise and lower a supporting test bed, permitting tension to be added to the specimen. Attachments referenced in GM tests include:
