DIN ABRASION TESTER
DIN Abrasion Tester is a precision testing instrument used to determine the abrasion resistance of rubber, elastomers, footwear soles, and related materials. The machine evaluates material durability by measuring volume loss when a test specimen is subjected to controlled abrasion against a standard abrasive surface mounted on a rotating drum.
During the test, the specimen is held under a specified load while the drum rotates at a constant speed. The controlled movement of the specimen across the abrasive surface ensures accurate and repeatable test results. The abrasion resistance index is calculated by comparing the volume loss of the test sample with that of a standard reference rubber under identical testing conditions.
The DIN Abrasion Tester is widely used in footwear industries, rubber manufacturing units, quality control laboratories, and research institutions for evaluating wear resistance and product durability. Built on a robust metallic base frame with a corrosion-resistant finish, the machine offers reliable performance, long service life, and compliance with international testing standards including DIN 53516 and ISO 4649.

Description
DIN Abrasion Tester
DIN Abrasion Tester is a precision testing instrument designed to determine the abrasion resistance of rubber, elastomers, soles, safety footwear materials, and other polymer-based products. The equipment is widely used in footwear industries, rubber manufacturing units, quality control laboratories, research institutions, and testing centers to evaluate material durability under controlled abrasive conditions.
The DIN Abrasion Tester measures the volume loss of a test specimen when subjected to abrasion against a standard abrasive surface. The test helps manufacturers assess the wear resistance properties of materials and ensure compliance with national and international quality standards. The machine provides accurate, repeatable, and reliable test results, making it an essential instrument for product development and quality assurance.
Working Principle of DIN Abrasion Tester
The DIN Abrasion Tester operates using a rotating cylindrical drum covered with abrasive cloth. During testing, the specimen is pressed against the rotating drum under a specified load. As the drum rotates, controlled abrasion occurs on the test specimen, resulting in material loss. The abrasion resistance is determined by measuring the volume loss of the specimen after completion of the test cycle.
The machine is designed with a precision specimen holder, rotating drum mechanism, and adjustable loading system to ensure consistent testing conditions. The controlled speed and abrasion path enable users to obtain reliable and repeatable test results in accordance with international testing standards.
