Wear Friction Test – High Technology!

PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 17, 2008 – The field of engineering and manufacturing has always been directly involved with the process of using high technology to get things going more efficiently.
If you are involved with machines, you will appreciate the fact that it is now possible to do a wear test with the highest precision before actually using the product in the real world. It is sort of like doing a laboratory test - in more detail, and deciding whether the product is worthy or not in its present state. The wear tests of the earlier days were of a poor quality, and though they were useful, the results were sort of inconclusive.

However, with the advent of high technology, and electronically controlled mechanisms, it is now possible to exactly determine the way the product is going to work after it is put on sale. We met up with one of the pioneers of wear testing – Mr. John Isaac, from Imperial Scientific Industries, at Tribo Testers.

Mr. Isaac and his team of well experienced engineers have been paving the way to a more comprehensive and more perfect reporting system within the world of wear tests. A wear friction test is not just a way to determine the efficiency of the used liquid, but it is also one of the most dependable measures of identifying the improvements that can be implemented into the product. Mr. Isaac tells us that they use the highest grade of wear testing equipment, and that all of their machinery is electronically controlled. In fact, in most of the cases, the sample and the machine is untouched by human hand, ensuring that the environment is conducive to the most in-detail reporting.

Tribo Testers is also one of the key companies involved in what is called as ‘Wear test dry’. A dry wear test is done on metals, ceramics, and other such hard substances, that are also expected to withstand wear and tear when used in various kinds of components.
