Tile Abrasion Testing Machine

IS 1237, IS 1706 Specification:This is used for determination of resistance to wear for Cement & Concrete flooring tiles.Tiles specimen of size 7.06 cm x 7.06 cm is pressed face-wise under specific load on a grindingpath and abrasive powder is evenly spread on the rotating grinding disc the second parallelside of the tile is subjected to wear for similar number of rotations. The wear of the tile ismeasured on a thickness gauge specifically made for the purpose. The machine consists of adisc rotating at a speed of 30 R.P.M. in a circular tray. A bracket is provided to hold thespecimen. A counter balance lever loads the specimen. Load applied is 30 Kgf. A funnel isfitted to evenly spread abrasive powder on the grinding path. A Pre-set Counterautomatically stops the machine after 22 revolutions. This counter is Re-adjustable. Themachine works on 440 V A.C. Three Phase electrical supply. On request machine to operateon 230 V A.C. Supply can also be supplied.
