Standards
Description
The linear abrasion tester rubs back and forth in a straight line rather than in a circle, which is what makes it useful on shaped parts. It measures abrasion resistance, scratch resistance from a single pass or many, and colour transfer - rubbing fastness. Both dry and wet tests can be run. Our blog walks through the method in more detail.
