Taber Abrading Wheels

Article No. 10099

Taber CS-10F Calibrase Wheels

The Taber Abrading Wheels are used with the Taber Rotary Platform Abraser, two abrasive wheels create the circular wear path recognized as a "Taber test." As specimens are subjected to the rub-wear action of the wheels, the abrasion marks form a pattern of crossed arcs resulting in a circular ring. This process abrades the sample over all angles of grain or weave, and covers an area approximately 30 cm2.

Features

  • Offered in a range of wear characteristics
  • Calibrase wheels include easy-glide wheel hub

  • Sold in pairs

  • Shipped in tight-lidded containers to prevent damage

  • Rigorous quality program maintains uniformity and consistency

  • Premium grade US abrasive materials ensure test repeatability

  • Traceable through manufacturing lot reference included on each wheel label

  • Manufactured from a proprietary formulation developed and designed by Taber Industries so the binder material breaks down during use, exposing and creating a fresh abrading surface

  • Taber offers standardized grades of Genuine Taber abrasive wheels, which have been engineered to meet varying requirements of abrasive action. The choice of abrading wheels should be based upon the wear the specimen material will be subjected to in actual use.

  • Custom formulations available

  • Three Types Available:

    • Calibrase® Abrading Wheels - A resilient wheel composed of resilient binder and aluminum oxide or silicon carbide abrasive particles. Frequently used to evaluate rigid specimens.

    • Calibrade® Abrading Wheels - A non-resilient wheel composed of a vitrified (clay) binder and silicon carbide or aluminum oxide abrasive particles. Frequently used to evaluate flexible specimens.

    • Specialty Wheels and Abradants - Used for unique or custom applications.
