The MonTech ABR 3000 abrasion tester is a tear testing instrument for determination of an elastomer’s resistance to frictional loss, using a rotating or fixed specimen in accordance with DIN 53516, DIN ISO 4649, AS1683.21 and ASTM D 5963.
The test specimen is fixed into a quick clamp sample holder and precisely guided – either with or without rotation – over a predefined distance of either 20 or 40 Meters, with a defined load on a sheet of abrasive paper mounted to a stainless steel rotary drum of 150 mm diameter. Finally, the frictional loss is calculated by comparing the sample weight before and after testing.
