Elcometer 1720 Abrasion, Scrubbing & Washability Tester - Washability, Brushability & Abrasion Testers - Technical Specifications

This version of the Elcometer 1720 is adapted for the spongeability and washability of wall coverings (papers), in accordance with the EN 233 Standard.

The test consists of scrubbing the sample with a tool under defined conditions.

The Elcometer 1720 EN 233 is identical to the Elcometer 1720 Abrasion, Scrubbing and Washability Tester, with the exception of the following:
  • Variable Speed Mode - the operator can select a speed from 30 to 120 cycles per minute. (1 cycle = 1 motion back and forth of the carriage).
  • Special Accessory (abrasive tool not included).
  • 1 or 2 specimen fastening frames are supplied, for the 2 station and 4 station models respectively, instead of the standard aluminium frame, with double room of 290 x 140mm.
The fixed speed mode of 37 cycles per minute and the variable stroke length remain the same as in the Elcometer 1720 Abrasion, Scrubbing and Washability Tester, the Elcometer 1720 EN 233 can also perform in accordance with ASTM, DIN, ISO, EN tests.

All abrasive tools listed for the Elcometer 1720 Abrasion, Scrubbing and Washability Tester can be used
