Rotary Platform Double Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-YTE-13175
Quick Answer: The Rotary Platform Double is an abrasion tester for textile materials and coated fabrics in which the specimen on a rotating horizontal circular platform is abraded by two loaded abrasive wheels resting on its surface on either side of the centre.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
- Rotary platform method for the abrasion resistance of textile materials and coated fabrics
- Specimen mounted on a horizontal circular platform that rotates at a specified speed
- Two abrasive wheels rest on the specimen on either side of its centre
- Wheels turn through friction with the specimen, causing abrasion
- Wheels are loaded to apply the desired contact force
- Result is found after a specified number of rotations, or as the rotations needed for a specified degree of abrasion

About This Product
Abrasion resistance tells how well a material withstands rubbing in use. In the rotary platform method the specimen turns on a circular platform while two loaded abrasive wheels rest on it and are turned by friction, so the surface is abraded by a rotary rubbing action. Resistance is judged either from the degree of abrasion after a set number of rotations, or from the number of rotations needed to reach a set degree of abrasion. Students use it to compare the wear resistance of textiles and coated fabrics. School Lab Equipment India supplies the Rotary Platform Double across India and can export it to Samoa, Timor-Leste, Georgia, Indonesia and Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How does the Rotary Platform Double abrade the specimen?
The specimen is mounted on a horizontal circular platform and rotates at a specified speed. Two abrasive wheels rest on its upper surface on either side of the centre and turn through friction, causing abrasion.
Q2. How is abrasion resistance evaluated?
Either by finding the degree of abrasion after a specified number of rotations, or by finding the number of rotations needed to produce a specified degree of abrasion.
Q3. How is the contact force set?
The wheels are loaded to apply the desired contact force.
