The Multi-Media Abraser provides a flexible tester for measuring abrasivity of virtually all fluids and powders used in today’s manufacturing processes. Applications include paints, pigments, adhesives, sealants, epoxies, pastes, detergents and industrial additives.
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.
Works with all standard Taber Abrasers.
The Multi-Media Abraser is available as a separate attachment or pre-mounted on a single or dual Taber abraser.

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.
