FAQ's of RT-01 Printed Materials Coating Payers Abrasion Resistance Tester:
Q: How is the RT-01 Abrasion Resistance Tester operated during a typical test?
A: The RT-01 is semi-automatic and programmed via its digital control panel to set test cycles (0-1,000 cycles). Simply mount your sample in the holder, adjust your desired settings, and use the included polyurethane brush to ensure consistent abrasion. Results are displayed instantly on the digital screen.
Q: What types of materials can be tested with this device?
A: This tester is suitable for measuring the abrasion resistance of a variety of printed materials, coated papers, and films. Its adjustable specimen holder accommodates samples sized up to 23050 mm.
Q: When should laboratories consider using the RT-01 tester?
A: Laboratories and manufacturers should use the RT-01 whenever product development or quality control requires objective assessment of coating layer durability on printed substrates, films, or coating papers.
Q: Where is this tester best utilized?
A: The RT-01 is engineered for benchtop placement in laboratory environments. Its compact footprint (410380280 mm) and export-grade wooden case make it suitable for both domestic and international facilities.
Q: What is the testing process with the RT-01 Abrasion Resistance Tester?
A: Begin by preparing the specimen (1-2 per test), placing it in the holder, and setting the desired cycles and speed (60 cycles/min, 12 mm stroke). Start the machine; the polyurethane brush delivers abrasion and the digital system records the cycle count-results are immediately displayed.
Q: How does the RT-01 benefit manufacturers or researchers?
A: The programmable test cycles and 1 cycle accuracy provide repeatable, precise measurement of material abrasion resistance. Fast response and compliance with international standards allow manufacturers to validate product durability efficiently and reliably.
