Test Specimen Holder for Surface Abrasion Machine – For Glazed Tiles AZA1264
The AZA1264 Test Specimen Holder is a precision-engineered accessory designed specifically for surface abrasion testing of glazed ceramic tiles in accordance with BIS 13630 (Part-11) and EN ISO 10545-7. It ensures secure positioning of the test specimen and consistent containment of abrasive materials during the abrasion resistance test, contributing to accurate, repeatable, and standard-compliant results.
This holder is an essential component in ceramic tile testing laboratories, quality control departments, certification agencies, and research institutions, where standardized abrasion testing is mandatory for product validation and compliance.
Description
Purpose & Function
During surface abrasion testing, it is critical that the test tile remains firmly secured and that the abrasive load is uniformly contained over the test area. The AZA1264 specimen holder fulfills this requirement through a robust mechanical design incorporating rubber-lined circular rings and dual-purpose holding plates.
The plates act simultaneously as specimen holders and containers for abrasive loads, ensuring controlled abrasion action without specimen movement. The system is fitted with studs on either side to hold the specimen container securely in position, while a black tightening knob allows quick, firm locking of the assembly.
