Falex Tribology acquires Miller Number Slurry Test Machine

Falex Tribology added a Miller Number Slurry Abrasion Test Machine to its already extensive tribotester base in our Rotselaar lab.
It is now possible to have your ASTM G75 as well as customized slurry abrasivity tests done in Belgium.

The Miller Slurry Abrasion test has seen a recent revival with a number of slurry abrasion issues in various sectors of the industry.  Although a very conventional test and design, the method has advantages over any other tribometer, in evaluating the abrasive action of a slurry against any given material.  Thanks to the large stroke -moderate speed motion of the wear blocks and the lifting action at the end of each stroke, constant refreshment and repeatability of the slurry is ensured.  The specially selected rubber bottom of the 4 parallel troughs holds the abrasive particles and creates a repeatable sliding action, but the large stroke provides a stirring action, refreshing the slurry automatically.

 4 tests can be run in parallel, so repeatability can be easily assessed.  The 4 troughs also allow a faster screening method to be developed, enabling us to run parallel wear tests that increase efficiency and reduce cost per result.   Since it is always our objective to provide more high quality data for your money, this instrument fits our strategy and completes our ASTM tribometer portfolio.
