4. The machine is equipped with a reciprocating table, on which the flat grinding/curved grinding test head can be mounted.
5. The force value can be easily changed by changing the weight of the weights.
6. Built-in timer and the mechanical cycle counter. The counter clearly records the cycle index of the sample when it breaks.

The Application of Universal Wear Tester TF213

Universal Wear Tester TF213 can be used for woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, coated fabrics, pile fabrics, socks, felts, nonwovens, deep fabrics, yarns, cords plastic films, rubber, leather, paper, and many other materials. The tested sample can be dry or immersed in water, oil, or other liquids.

TESTEX Universal Wear Tester TF213 supplies with a surface abrasion head (inflated diaphragm method) and Flex abrasion head as well as necessary weights and blades. Besides, accessories are available on request for conducting frosting, pilling, and edge abrasion tests.

Work Principle of Universal Wear Tester TF213

This instrument mainly consists of a control system and a friction system. Mount the specimen on the fixture and tighten it. Put down the upper jig with sandpaper, adjust the position of the weight to make the sandpaper contact with the surface of the specimen, set the friction times of the specimen through the control system, and start the instrument. The base of the lower fixture moves back and forth, so that the specimen and sandpaper rub against each other, and the instrument stops when the number of movements reaches the set value, and the specimen is removed to observe its wear degree.

TESTEX is also providing other kinds of abrasion and pilling testers.
