The TQC Scrub, Abrasion and Washability Tester can be supplied with 2 types of test beds. Either one AB5176 covering the full width of the machine or one or two AB5196, covering either half the width or the full width.

Placement

Dependent on the model either two narrow or one wide test bed is placed ﬂat on the top plate of the Washability tester.

AB6000 and AB6010 can be used without the test beds when used for dry abrasion testing. Following rules have to be applied:

- The sample shall not protrude from the test bed.

- The sample shall be positioned such that it will not move.

- The sample shall not block any of the movement of the TQC Scrub Abrasion and Washability Tester.

In order to hold samples down the TQC scrub, abrasion and washability tester shall be equipped with one of the following sample clamp frames. These can be used on both test bed models AB5196 and AB5176. The total machine can contain two frames at a time.

Placement

The sample frames are with the indentation on each side up such that they can be ﬁxed using the ﬁxture screws of the TQC Scrub Abrasion and Washability Tester. The Rubber seals beneath the clamping frames are made out of Viton rubber. The chemical resistance of this rubber is expressed in annex B.

The TQC Scrub, Abrasion and Washability Test is equipped with a universal traverse as of 01-04-2016. Earlier models have a standard conﬁgurated traverse containing tool holders equal in function to AB5041. Models after 01-04-2016 have a conﬁgurable traverse allowing for a ﬂexible arrangement of the tools. The tool holders are linked to the tools in use and the frames that are used. Please use the online Ordering Matrix to select the proper tool holder in correlation to the clamping frame and tool in use. The shown models are available and all have the same installation.

Placement

Place the tool holder in the designated part of the traverse and secure it with the 4 screws supplied with each tool holder. Always make sure the tool holder is properly secured with the guides for the tools facing downward.beneath the clamping frames are made out of Viton rubber. The chemical resistance of this rubber is expressed in annex B.

Scope of Supply

• 2 glass plates with champhered edges

Specications

Material: Glass Dimensions : 470x163x6 mm

The metal shim is usually placed in the middle and underneath of the test sample. The small elevation will increase abrasion at that point hence test results are obtained more quickly.

Some standards require all tests to be performed on a glass test bed. This to ensure the ﬂattest and smoothest substrate for the test. Often the glass bed is used together with the metal shims for many ASTM standards.

Scope of supply

• 1 heavy weight support tool

• 1 ﬁxture screw

Specications

Material: Stainless steel and plastic Dimensions : 94x50x50 mm (adjustable hight: 50 - 75 mm) Mass: 14 g

When using top heavy tools the risk exists for a tool to tip over due to the load, or the used speed. Instable tools cause irregular wear and will lead to non-reproducible results. A tipped over tool can signiﬁcantly scratch the sample and damage it beyond use. The heavy weight support tools are used to stabilize the tools by creating a ﬁxture point on the vertical axis of the tool. Per tool 1 heavy weight support tool is required. When a lighter weight is used, mount the supplied spacers between the weight and the tool.

10.4.11 Heavy Weight Support Tool (AB5032)

Scope of Supply

• AB5115 General tubing set

• 1 set of tubes suitable for installation between container and pump and from the pump to the test area’s

• AB5113 Pump tubing kit

• 4 tubes for installation in the pumps

Specications

Pump tubing: BPT Pharmamed tube Tubing to pump and from pump : Tygon (at delivery PVC tube to the pump)

Additional information

Waste / drainage tube : Silicon tube

The TQC Scrub, Abrasion and Washability Tester AB5000 and AB5005 are equipped with pumps for the application of test liquids to the samples. These tubes do require maintenance and timely replacement depending on the liquids that are pumped. The chemical resistance of the tubes is covered in the chemical resistance table. The wear of the tubes depends both on the abrasiveness and aggressiveness of the media used. It is not possible to predict the life expectancy of a tube.

• Though robust in design, this instrument is precision-machined. Never drop it or knock it over.

• Always clean the instrument after use.

• Clean the instrument using a soft dry cloth. Never clean the instrument by any mechanical means such as a wire brush or abrasive paper. This may cause, just like the use of aggressive cleaning agents, permanent damage.

• Do not use compressed air to clean the instrument.

• Never bend or exert extreme forces on the tool carrier

• Generally the TQC Scrub Abrasion and Washability Tester does not require any maintenance.

Make sure that no paint or other liquids are spilled on the electronics or left in the tubing.

11.1 Disposal of Materials

Disposal of materials used in the operation of the instrument or for auxiliary functions and exchanged items should be dealt with safety and in a manner that will not harm the environment. Follow the local regulations.

11.2 Customer Service

Customer service is provided on request by TQC – Molenbaan 19 , 2908LL Capelle aan den IJssel - The Netherlands, T +31(0)10 7900100, F +31 (0)10 7900129 or by local representatives.
