High Temperature Tribometer (up to 1000°C)

The analysis of friction and wear properties of materials at elevated temperatures has become increasingly important, especially for the development and quality control of combustion engine and power plant constituent parts. To meet the resulting need for quantitative data at elevated thermal conditions CSM Instruments has extended its range of pin-on-disk Tribometers with a powerful high-temperature version which can accurately simulate in-service conditions.

Features

• Precisely calibrated friction and wear measurements at elevated temperatures up to 1000°C
• Efficient heating/cooling system to accurately maintain desired test temperature
• High thermal stability
• Automatic shut-off at selected track length or friction coefficient threshold
• Test in liquids, within their thermal stability range
• Testing conforms to DIN 50324, ASTM G99 and ASTM G133.

Powerful software package for PC-controlled data acquisition and instrument control, featuring real-time graphical data display, calculation of Hertzian pressures, friction and wear coefficients, sliding lifetime, etc
