TILE ABRASION TESTING MACHINE

A Tile Abrasion Testing Machine is a specialized laboratory instrument designed to evaluate the wear resistance and surface durability of ceramic, porcelain, and other types of tiles. It simulates the real-world abrasion that floor tiles would experience in high-traffic environments, such as commercial buildings, airports, malls, and industrial spaces.

The machine typically uses a reciprocating arm or rotating head fitted with abrasive media (like sandpaper or abrasive wheels) to repeatedly rub against the tile surface under a set load and motion pattern. The degree of wear is measured and compared to standards, helping manufacturers ensure product quality, classify tiles according to industry benchmarks (such as ISO or ASTM), and optimize production processes.

This testing is fundamental in quality control labs and research facilities to predict long-term performance and service life of flooring tiles.

Key Functions & Features

• Simulates real-world wear: Replicates foot traffic and mechanical abrasion on tiles.

• Standardized results: Enables comparison with industry benchmarks.

• Adjustable test parameters: Load, speed, and abrasive type can be altered.

• User-friendly interface: Digital controls for ease of operation.

• Durable construction: Built for long service life in the lab.

• Precise measurement: Outputs meaningful, repeatable abrasion results.

Key Benefits

✔ Helps classify tiles into abrasion resistance classes (e.g., PEI ratings)
✔ Ensures product quality and consistency
✔ Reduces field failures and customer complaints
✔ Supports R&D and formulation improvements
✔ Enables compliance with international quality standards
