Automatic Wehner/Schulze Friction Test Device
After many years of research work in different Universities and material testing institutes a new FAP device is developed, which includes the conclusions of experiences and results.
APS didn´t change the original technical measuring concept, but modernized and optimized the technicalcomponents and handling of the system according to international technical requirements and industrial standards in mechanics, electronics and software solution.
Extensive comparative studies were carried out for clear comparison with the results of the previous models.
Main features for model FAP 1000:
- Polishing station with polishing rolls (original technical concept)
- Better function of pump and mixing system for abrasive-water-mixture
- Skid resistance measuring station (original technical concept) with new developed high accuracy torque measuring system
- Combined fully automatic test procedure for polishing and skid resistance measuring
- Stainless steel construction for long lifetime and corrosion protection
- New corrosion resistant temperature control system
- High quality industrial controller with touch panel and graphic display for simultaneous monitoring of measured values and test procedures
- Different control modes and functions with graphic output are available
- Programmable test cycles for polishing, cleaning and measuring procedures, including definition of traveling speed of test table
- Control, data acquisition, monitoring and test report with advanced software solution for windows 10
- Different moulds for mounting the samples in the Wehner/Schulze test device available
The following settings are included for the polishing process:
- Fully automatic test procedure
- Speed of the polishing head typically: 500 rpm
- Selectable number of overrollings (typically: 90.000)
- Constant temperature control for abrasive-water-mixture (typically 14 +/- 2°C)
- Constant load for polishing head with 392 +/- 3 N
- Flow rate of the water/quartz flour mixture of 5 l/minemperature control of the water/quartz flour mixture from +5 to +40 °C (typically 8 – 16 °C)
The following test parameters are includes for the test process:
- Fully automatic test procedure
- Test Freely selectable discharge speed (test start) of the test head, from 0 – 100 +/-5 km/h
- Flow rate of the test water typically: 20 l/min
- Constant test load of 253 +/- 3 N (weight of the test head)
