CCSi features this high quality Rotary Drum Abrasion Tester for evaluating resistance to abrasion of rubber materials through the measure of the volumetric loss of a specimen exposed to the action of a normalized abrasive medium, secured to a rotating cylinder.
The Model HT8621B Rotary Drum Abrasion Tester is manufactured according to the specifications and requirements set forth in DIN 53516, ASTM D5963, and ISO 4649, JIS K6369.
The Model HT8621B Rotary Drum Abrasion Tester features the rotation of the test specimen while it moves laterally across the rotating drum. This assures uniform contact of the test specimen to the abrasive media and provides more reliable, accurate, and meaningful test determinations. Alternatively, the specimen holder may be locked into a fixed position.
The rotating cylinder assembly is designed for ease of disassembly to facilitate the replacement of the abrasion medium. Removable basins, that do not require drum removal, are situated below the drum to facilitate removal of the abraded material.
The Model HT8621B Rotary Drum Abrasion Tester includes both 500 g and 1 kg weights. It features highly automated ‘test cycling’, is equipped with conveniently mounted instrument controls, and a highly reliable motor/drive assembly.
