Universal Wear Tester

The Universal Wear Tester evaluates wear and abrasion resistance for fabrics and materials used in clothing, footwear, and industrial applications. It includes surface abrasion and flex abrasion heads, with optional accessories for frosting, pilling, and edge abrasion tests. The instrument ensures precision with its built-in timer, mechanical cycle counter, and consistent motor speed. Operators can test woven, knitted, pile, coated, and non-woven fabrics, as well as materials such as rubber, leather, plastic films, and paper. Tests can run on dry or liquid-treated samples, delivering comprehensive insights into durability and performance.

Applications

The Universal Wear Tester determines fabric wear and abrasion resistance for textiles, footwear, and industrial products. It comes with a surface abrasion head (inflated diaphragm method), a flex abrasion head, and the necessary weights and blades. Optional accessories allow testing for frosting, pilling, and edge abrasion.

This tester provides 120 double strokes per minute with a 25 mm stroke length. The air-inflated diaphragm system ensures uniform surface abrasion, while the clamping mechanism maintains consistent specimen tension. Its improved air injection system provides even inflation for more reliable results.

Operators can perform flat, curved, edge, and fold abrasion tests, including frosting, welt, and gigging resistance. It works on woven, knitted, pile, coated fabrics, socks, felt, non-woven materials, deep fabrics, yarn, cords, plastic films, rubber, leather, and paper. Samples can be tested dry or immersed in water, oil, or other liquids.
