Universal Wear Tester, to determine the wear and abrasion resistance of fabric used in clothing, footwear and industrials. Universal wear tester Supplis with surface abrasion head (inflated diaphragm method) and flex abrasion head as well as necessary weights and initial supply of abradents. Accessories are available for conducting frosting, pilling and edge abrasion tests.

Universal wear tester fitted with built-in timer and mechanical cycle counter repeatable and reproducible testing is ensured by consistent motor speed providing 120 double strokes per minute of 25mm (1in) stroke length. Improved air injection system for more uniform inflation of the diaphragm used in surface abrasion testing, and a superior clamping mechanism for repeatable specimen tensioning.

Tests are run in automatic mode to obtain definite results of high reproducibility and to lessen the need for operator evaluation of test results. The digital counter counts the number of cycles to specimen rupture or can be preset for automatic shutoff without specimen failure. Users can select the timer mode for accurate countdown of test time while simultaneously counting the number of abrasion cycles.
