The ORIGINAL Wyzenbeek Oscillatory Abrasion Tester for Fabric & Leather

The Wyzenbeek test method is widely accepted across multiple industries.

Schap’s  Original Wyzenbeek Oscillatory Abrasion Tester for Textile & Leather is a four station tester used to determine abrasion resistance of: fabric, vinyl, leather, stitched seams, and other materials. Each station holds a specimen taut and utilizes contoured foam pads to apply down pressure. An abradant, (typically duck cloth or wire mesh screen), is affixed to the oscillating drum and abrades the specimens for a prescribed number of cycles.

Each of the 4 stations have individual specimen tension and pad pressure settings.

If your machinery requires CE conformity, our Wyzenbeek CE Model Abrasion Tester  meets these requirements.

Advantages of the Wyzenbeek Classic

The Wyzenbeek Classic Abrasion Tester is lower in price than the Wyzenbeek CE model. It does not include the added safety features of the CE compliance model.  With the Wyzenbeek Classic open design, it is easier for the operator to load samples, make adjustments to the abradant (setting tension, position, etc.). Some operators prefer this open design to the CE model.

The Wyzenbeek Test Method

Individual test specimens cut from the warp and weft are rubbed back and forth using an AATCC approved #10 cotton duck fabric, or wire mesh screen as the abradant (Both available from SCHAP).

Each station holds a specimen taught, utilizing contoured foam pads to apply pressure. The abradant is affixed to the oscillating drum, which abrades the specimens for a prescribed number of cycles.

The end point is reached when two yarn breaks occur or when appreciable wear is reached or when 100,000 double rubs are reached. The samples should be checked every 5,000 double rubs, and when an end point is reached because of failure, the rater should back up to the previous 5,000 double rub checkpoint as the test result of abrasion resistance. The test results are therefore to be reported in 5,000 double rub increments.
