Tile abrasion testing machine (Product Code: SLE/CE/102) is a rotating grinding-path machine used to measure the wear resistance of floor and paving tiles pressed under a set load against an abrasive-strewn track, in civil engineering and building materials laboratories. Tile makers' quality labs and engineering colleges use it for abrasion tests, with the grinding path turning at 30 ±1 revolutions per minute and a counter-balanced lever applying the load. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Floor tiles in corridors, factories and public buildings must resist the scouring of grit carried on shoes and wheels, and this machine reproduces that wear in a controlled way. The tile is clamped in the bracket, loaded through the counter-balanced lever with the 7.5 kg weight, and pressed onto the grinding path while abrasive powder is fed through the funnel. The counter is preset so the disc stops after the required number of revolutions.
Wear is found by measuring the tile's thickness before and after the run with a thickness gauge, which you add separately. Spread the abrasive evenly, clean the tray between specimens and replace the grinding path when it becomes worn. The machine is useful engineering lab equipment for building materials courses as well as for factory quality checks on tiles.
The Tile abrasion testing machine is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, acting as the OEM. The disc drive, grinding path, lever loading and tray are manufactured and assembled at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India.
Tile manufacturers, colleges, testing laboratories, dealers and importers buy direct from the factory, and replacement grinding paths or repeat machines can be discussed with the manufacturer itself. Visit the ScienceLab profile for company details.

At what speed does the Tile abrasion testing machine run?
The grinding path of the Tile abrasion testing machine revolves at 30 ±1 revolutions per minute. It is a replaceable path fitted on a disc that rotates on its vertical axis, enclosed by a circular tray that contains the abrasive.
How is the load applied in the Tile abrasion testing machine?
The Tile abrasion testing machine applies load through a counter-balanced lever that presses the tile, held in a bracket, against the grinding path. One 7.5 kg weight is supplied with the machine for loading the specimen.
What is not included with the Tile abrasion testing machine?
The Tile abrasion testing machine is supplied without abrasive powder and without a thickness gauge. It comes complete with an automatic pre-set revolution counter and one 7.5 kg weight; ask us if you need the other items quoted.
How is tile wear measured after testing on the Tile abrasion testing machine?
After a run on the Tile abrasion testing machine, wear is measured with a thickness gauge by comparing the tile's thickness before and after abrasion. The gauge is not part of the supply, so add one to your enquiry if needed.
What power supply does the Tile abrasion testing machine need?
The Tile abrasion testing machine is suitable for operation on a 230 V, single phase, AC supply. Mention your local mains supply in the enquiry if it differs, so we can discuss it before quoting.
Who manufactures the Tile abrasion testing machine?
The Tile abrasion testing machine is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations and spare-part queries are handled by the manufacturer directly.
