Sclerometers SP0010 / SP0015

Pocket devices for testing the hardness and scratch resistance of flat or curved surfaces (coatings, varnishes, plastics, etc.) carried out using a tungsten carbide tip Ø 1 mm on which is exerted a adjustable pressure.

Oscillating Abraser Taber 6160

Used to measure the resistance to surface abrasion and scratching of materials (plastics, metals, glasses, lenses, etc.) placed in an oscillating tank filled with abrasive (silica sand, Alundum ZF-12 sand, etc.) ).

Reference: SP4400 / SP4500

SP4400 / SP4500 Slow Stamping Testers

Used to assess the elasticity, flexibility and adhesion of lacquers, paints and other coatings on metal surfaces by observing the effects caused by the slow stamping of a coated specimen.

Crockmeter 418

Manual model allowing the evaluation of color transfer, bleeding and abrasion resulting from the dry or wet friction of textile materials (fabric, carpet, leather, etc.) against other flat surfaces. It can also be used to perform smear tests of images printed by a printer or copier.

Reference: SP1880 /-1890 /-1891 /-1895

SP1880 / -1890 / -1891 / -1895 impact testers

Determine the impact resistance and flexibility of coatings by studying the deformation caused by a falling steel mass on the coated specimen.

Taber Rigidimeters 150/112/108

Precisely measure the rigidity, flexural strength, resilience and elasticity of paper, cardboard, plastics, metal foils, textiles, rubbers, threads, tubes, felts, etc.

Crock

Crockmeter kit (166 g) Ref. 130570 including an adapter with fixing clip and a set of Crock 50 fabrics×50 mm Ref. 130811. Felt squares 50×50 mm Ref. 134948 also available. Crock Test System Load: 417.7 ± 1g (without additional weight).

Scratch Tester Taber 551

Determine the minimum load necessary for the appearance of a regular scratch on a rotating specimen.

Taber Rotary Abrasers 1700 / 1750

The 'Test Taber' provides reliable data within minutes. Used to assess a material's resistance to wear, a flat sample is mounted on a turntable that rotates on a vertical axis. As the platen rotates, contact of the sample against the sliding rotation of two grinding wheels causes wear while a vacuum system removes loose wear debris during testing. The...

Linear Abraser Taber 5770

Floating head abrasimeter designed to quantify abrasion or scratch resistance (optional kit) of flat or 3D parts of all shapes and sizes.

Reference: PosiTest AT

PosiTest AT pull-off adhesion testers

Measure the force required to pull out by hydraulic traction a known diameter of coating on metal, wood, concrete and other rigid substrates.

820 sand fall apparatus

Apparatus used to measure the resistance of paints, varnishes and other organic coatings to abrasion created by the fall of standardized natural silica sand or grains of silicon carbide through a guide tube.
