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:

StandardDescription
ISO 4649Rubber, vulcanized—Determination of abrasion resistance
ASTM D624Standard test method for rubber property—Resistance to abrasion
DIN 53516Testing of rubber—Abrasion resistance
SAE J300Automotive hose testing guidelines


Main Parameters

ParameterSpecification
Test Speed10–200 rpm (adjustable)
Abrasion Load5–50 N (customizable)
Sample Diameter10–50 mm (flexible clamping system)
Counter Accuracy±0.1% (digital display)
Environmental ControlOptional 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.
