Rubber hose outer coating wear testing machine
Rubber Hose Wear Testing Machine for Outer Coating Durability
Optimize your product testing with a focus on precision and compliance.
This article introduces the Rubber Hose Outer Coating Wear Testing Machine, a specialized device designed to evaluate the abrasion resistance and durability of rubber hose coatings under controlled conditions. By simulating real-world friction and wear scenarios, it helps manufacturers ensure product quality, comply with industry standards, and reduce failure rates. Key features include adjustable test parameters, automated data recording, and compatibility with multiple international standards.
Applicable Standards
The machine adheres to globally recognized testing protocols:
Standard | Description |
---|---|
ISO 4649 | Rubber, vulcanized—Determination of abrasion resistance |
ASTM D624 | Standard test method for rubber property—Resistance to abrasion |
DIN 53516 | Testing of rubber—Abrasion resistance |
SAE J300 | Automotive hose testing guidelines |
Main Parameters
Parameter | Specification |
---|---|
Test Speed | 10–200 rpm (adjustable) |
Abrasion Load | 5–50 N (customizable) |
Sample Diameter | 10–50 mm (flexible clamping system) |
Counter Accuracy | ±0.1% (digital display) |
Environmental Control | Optional temperature/humidity chamber |
Working Principle
The machine operates by rotating a rubber hose sample against an abrasive medium (e.g., sandpaper or metal disc) under controlled speed and load. A precision counter tracks the number of cycles or time elapsed until the coating shows visible wear, such as cracking, peeling, or mass loss. The test chamber includes dust extraction to maintain cleanliness.
Test Principle
The assessment focuses on quantitative wear resistance and qualitative surface analysis:
Mass Loss Method: Weigh the sample before/after testing to calculate abrasion index.
Thickness Reduction: Measure coating thickness loss via laser sensors.
Visual Inspection: Use microscopy to evaluate surface defects (e.g., scratches, delamination).
Ideal for automotive, industrial, and aerospace hose manufacturers, this machine ensures coatings meet durability demands in harsh environments.
