Calowear Abrasion Tester

The Calowear Abrasion Tester was originally designed to enable thickness measurements of coatings. However, it has developed into a relatively easy and straightforward method to characterise the resistance to abrasion of a surface. ... read more

Cavitation Erosion Tester

Erosion caused by cavitation is a wear phenomenon that is caused by imploding bubbles in liquids. These bubbles implode due to local pressure differences in the liquid ... read more

Cryogenic Tribo Tester

To study tribological properties of materials in cryogenic applications like valves, seals and bearings a Cryogenic Tribometer had been constructed.
With the tribometer it is possible to measure the hardness of materials and carry out friction and wear tests under cryogenic and vacuum conditions. ... read more

High Temperature Two Disk Rig

In some tribological applications the environmental temperatures are so high that only very special steels and ceramics can be applied. ... read more
