About Wear Tester For Road Marking Paints
The resistance of road marking paints to wearing off under the action of wheels passing over it is ascertained by subjecting a coating of the paint on a standard bituminous surface to a simulation of conditions existing under which the paint is used. The coated surface is rotated about its axis at a fixed speed and a pair of rubber wheels made to rub against it under a specified load, with water being constantly dropped on the inner wheel to simulate the effect of rain. The time taken by the paint to wear off is determined to evaluate the quality of paint.
Advanced Road Marking Paint TestingEngineered for industrial usage, this wear tester evaluates the abrasion resistance of road marking paints with precision. Suited for laboratory environments, it measures paint wear over a range of up to 10,000 cycles. The user-friendly digital LCD interface and sturdy table-top design provide consistent results, supporting the needs of manufacturers, exporters, and quality control teams alike.
Built for Durability and SafetyWith a robust powder-coated mild steel and aluminum body, the tester offers corrosion resistance and longevity. The emergency stop switch, manual cleaning system, and adjustable contact load ensure operator safety and convenient usage. Its compact build fits laboratory tables, providing ease of installation and operation.
FAQs of Wear Tester For Road Marking Paints:
Q: How is the Wear Tester for Road Marking Paints operated?
A: The tester operates with an electric motorized drive and is managed using a digital manual control panel with push-button interface. Simply secure the paint specimen using the precision fixed clamp, set the contact load up to 2 kg, and program the cycle count and speed as needed.
Q: What types of specimens and tests can the equipment accommodate?
A: The tester is designed for one specimen measuring 200 mm x 75 mm at a time and supports wear testing of road marking paints up to 10,000 abrasion cycles, meeting IS standards for paint testing accuracy and consistency.
Q: When should the emergency stop switch be used?
A: The emergency stop switch should be engaged immediately in case of any operational irregularity or safety concern during testing, ensuring prompt shutdown of the equipment for operator safety.
Q: Where is this wear tester typically installed and used?
A: It is suited for indoor laboratories, particularly in industrial, manufacturing, or quality control settings involved in road marking paint testing and development.
Q: What is the process for cleaning the equipment after use?
A: After completing a test, use the manual cleaning system to remove any paint residue from the machines contact parts, ensuring the equipment is clean and ready for future testing cycles.
Q: How does the digital LCD display enhance usability?
A: The digital LCD display provides clear, real-time information on cycles completed, enhancing precision by offering 1 cycle accuracy and quick response within 2 seconds for better monitoring during the test process.
Q: What benefits does this equipment offer compared to traditional methods?
A: Compared to manual methods, this wear tester delivers consistent, repeatable results with higher accuracy and time efficiency. Its adjustable load, standardized testing cycles, and robust construction improve the reliability and validity of road marking paint evaluations.
