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:

  • 5mm Scraper
  • 10mm Scraper
  • Brass Brush
  • Test Wedge Kit
  • Spherical Ball Rub Attachment
