Test Stand for Measuring Friction Wear in Natural and Synthetic Fiber Structures

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

The invention is a test apparatus designed to reliably measure the abrasion and frictional wear of fiber structures made from natural or synthetic fibers, which may be produced by laying, braiding, or twisting. The setup allows testing under controlled fiber-to-fiber friction to evaluate wear characteristics of various fiber strengths.

Patent Abstract

Fiber structure abrasion test stand for reproducible determination of friction wear behavior of in particular low-, medium- and high-strength fiber structures (15) made from natural and synthetic fibers, which can be produced by laying, braiding or twisting, under fiber-fiber friction, characterized in that a frame (13) made of profile bars (13.1) is arranged on a base plate (G).
