Falling Abrasive Sand Tester
Falling Sand Abrasion Tester
ASTM D968

Product Description:

Qualtech Products Industry Falling Sand Abrasion Tester is a professional Falling Abrasive Wear Resistance Test Instrument to instantly determine the Abrasion Resistance Properties of sample surfaces, surface coatings and protective coatings.

The Falling Abrasive Wear Resistance Test is performed with the Falling Sand Abrasion Tester. The Abrasive Sand is added into the Top Funnel which is connected to the Vertical Abrasive Sand Tube. The Abrasive Sand exits the Top Funnel and enters the Vertical Abrasive Sand Tube and falls at the surface of the sample at an angle of 45°. Abrasive Sand is added to the Top Funnel until the sample surface shows signs of scratching, the surface coating is penetrated and the material underneath the coating becomes visible. Abrasion Wear Resistance Test Results are expressed by the Volume of Abrasive Sand necessary to penetrate the surface coating. A wide variety of Abrasive Powders are used with this Falling Abrasive Wear Tester to determine the Abrasion Wear Resistance of surface coatings including Silica Sand and various grades of Silicon Carbide Powders. A Sieve System is used to ensure the same type and size of Abrasive Grains is used throughout your sample tests offering a high repeatability. Silica Sand usually presents a slower rate of wear and abrasion when testing organic coatings.

This professional Falling Sand Abrasion Tester is designed and engineered offering the newest and updated technology combined with a precision-engineered Funnel with 60° angle,  a precision-engineered Abrasive Sand Tube, a user-friendly Sample Mount with a 45° angle, an advanced Abrasive Sand Collection Vessel, a sturdy Base and Support System offering stability, an optional precision-engineered Enclosure, an optional Vacuum System, an easy Sample Mount System, user-friendly application, user-friendly sample handling, an ergonomic design, reliable performance, longevity and much more.

This professional Falling Sand Abrasion Test Equioment is designed and engineered in accordance with international test standards including:

• ASTM D968 (Standard Test Methods for Abrasion Resistance of Organic Coatings by Falling Abrasive)
