The French standard NF T 51-174 specifies a method for measuring the abrasion resistance of rubber and plastic materials using a Taber Abraser. The Taber Abraser is a machine that abrades the surface of the material being tested with a rotating abrasive wheel.

The NF T 51-174 test method involves subjecting a flat specimen of the material to a predetermined number of abrasion cycles using a standardized abrasive wheel and a specified load. The amount of material lost or the change in the look of the surface is then measured and used to calculate the material’s abrasion resistance.

NextGen’s Classic Analogue Shore Durometer complies with NF T 51-174 standard.
