DEEP ABRASION MACHINE FOR UNGLAZED TILES AZA1260
The AZA LAB Deep Abrasion Testing Machine – Model AZA1260 is a high-performance laboratory instrument specifically designed to measure the deep abrasion resistance of unglazed ceramic tiles in strict accordance with ISO 10545-6 and IS 13630 (Part 12) standards. This machine is an essential quality assurance tool for tile manufacturers, certification bodies, and research laboratories focused on durability and wear performance.
Deep abrasion resistance is a critical parameter for unglazed tiles used in high-traffic commercial, industrial, and public spaces, where surface wear directly impacts service life and safety. The AZA1260 delivers accurate, repeatable, and standardized results that reflect real-world abrasion conditions.
Description
Working Principle
The AZA1260 evaluates abrasion resistance by rotating a mild steel disc against the surface of a test specimen while an abrasive material is introduced at a controlled rate. A precisely applied vertical load ensures consistent contact pressure between the disc and the tile.
As the disc rotates at a controlled speed, material is gradually removed from the tile surface. The degree of wear is then measured to determine compliance with ISO and BIS requirements. This method accurately simulates long-term mechanical wear experienced by unglazed tiles in actual use.
