Taber Multi-Media Abraser
Simple, accurate abrasivity testing for fluids, powders and semi-solids
Able to recreate actual wear conditions, the Multi-Media Abraser allows testing on all contact surfaces in application equipment, including rods, cylinders, nozzles, gears and other moving parts.

Proven weight loss testing method
The medium to be tested is placed in the testing dish, where three brass pins rotate in contact with a stainless steel wear disc. The powder, fluid or semi-solid between the brass pins and stainless steel acts as the abrasive and causes wear. Measuring the weight loss of the brass pins after each test provides an accurate comparison of abrasion rates of different media.
