Rubber Wheel Test
On this test bench, a sample can be pressed with high pressure against a rotating counter sample and dry sand or a slurry. This can be used to simulate strong 3-body abrasion up to disruption.

Test Bench Description
Standard: ASTM G65, ASTM B611
Load (max): Up to ca. 500N
Speed (max): Up to ca. 2.5 m/sec
Sample 1: Block
Sample 2: Slurry, dry sand
Results: Weight loss, damage pattern
Conversions: Different steel and rubber wheels. Higher loads, stronger motor
Note: The given parameters are according to ASTM Standard. Others on request.
Principle
Together with the Taber Abraser test and the Miller test, this is one of the most popular methods in abrasion testing. The parameters can be adjusted very flexibly. We have two of these test stands, which saves time because the tests have to be carried out several times.
