TEST SPECIMEN HOLDER FOR SURFACE ABRASION MACHINE (GLAZED TILES) AZA1264

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.

Applications

• Surface abrasion testing of glazed ceramic tiles

• Quality control and batch verification in tile manufacturing

• BIS and ISO compliance testing

• Certification and third-party laboratory testing

• Research and development in ceramic materials

Standards Compliance

The AZA1264 Test Specimen Holder is designed to comply with:

• BIS 13630 (Part-11) – Determination of surface abrasion resistance of glazed tiles

• EN ISO 10545-7 – Ceramic tiles: Determination of surface abrasion resistance

Compliance ensures acceptance of test results for regulatory, certification, and audit purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is this holder mandatory for ISO 10545-7 testing?
Yes. A standard-compliant specimen holder is essential to ensure valid and repeatable abrasion test results.

Q2: Are steel balls supplied with the holder?
No. Steel balls of 1, 2, 3, and 5 mm diameter must be purchased separately.

Q3: Can the holder be used with different abrasion testing machines?
Yes. It is compatible with standard surface abrasion testing setups used in ceramic tile laboratories.

Q4: Does the rubber lining affect test results?
No. The rubber lining only stabilizes the specimen and does not interfere with the abrasion process.

Q5: Is the holder suitable for continuous laboratory use?
Yes. It is built with durable materials for long-term and repeated testing.
