Leather Rub Fastness Tester

Deri Sürtme Haslığı Test Cihazı

Carries out a rub fastness test on the leather surface to determine the amount of marring of the surface or finish and to assess colour transfer from the specimen to the rubbing pad. Fastness is assessed by checking the colour change of the specimen and the staining of the felt after rubbing.

Model technical data

  • Carries out a rub fastness test on the leather surface, assessing surface marring and colour transfer to the felt.
  • Fastness is assessed by checking the colour change of the specimen and the staining of the felt after rubbing.
  • It has a memory function and both dry and wet tests can be performed.
  • It has a touch screen control panel.

Physical specifications and utilities

Electrical supplyApprox. 220–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz, single phase; build-dependent.
Power / connected loadApprox. 50–150 W connected load for preliminary planning.

Instrument weightApprox. 20–40 kg net.
Gross / shipping weightApprox. 32–60 kg gross; estimated packing allowance.
Lab requirementsLevel, stable working surface; specimen conditioning follows the selected method.

Dimension order and approximate values are stated in each row. Packaging data are separate from instrument dimensions and net mass. Approx. rows are preliminary engineering estimates based on comparable equipment and function/capacity; they are not verified manufacturing measurements or standard requirements. Installation and shipment are finalised against the approved drawing and nameplate. Estimate scope: base product / one unit; external computer, bench and auxiliary plant excluded.

Specifications, dimensions, and power requirements are approximate and subject to change without prior notice for continuous design improvements.

Product technical specifications and images may vary according to manufacturing conditions and applicable standards.

Test and configuration

Measured output / function
Staining grade of rubbing cloth after rubbing
Parameters selected for the method
Rubbing head, load, motion and wet/dry condition
Verification points
Force, stroke, counter and reference cloth

Listed methods are application references. Suitability is established by assessing the selected hardware, current method and calibration together.

Test parameters for the reviewed method

Values belong to the stated source edition. Test recipe, fixture and delivered instrument configuration are selected together.

EN ISO 11640:1998 / TS EN ISO 11640:2001 · 4.1.2-4.1.3

  • Rubbing-foot base 15 × 15 mm; finger mass 500 ± 25 g plus a 500 ± 10 g additional load. Reciprocating travel 35-40 mm at 40 ± 2 cycles/min.

Control and recording specification

The following are method-specific software/recording requirements; delivered software modules are defined by the order scope.

  • The need for integrated software depends on the method and selected hardware; manual instruments use an external test record.
  • Method code and edition, specimen ID, operator and selected test parameters are linked to the record.
  • The calculation and endpoint are defined by the selected method edition; instrument signals and operator assessments are kept distinct.
  • Raw measurements, units, valid/invalid test flags and the reported result remain traceable.
  • Calculations are checked against known inputs and an independent calculation; sensor channels are checked against calibration values.
