Extruded Sheath Abrasion Tester
Category：Interior Material Tester
Introduction
The Extruded Sheath Abrasion Tester is designed for evaluating the abrasion resistance of plastic outer sheaths on wires and cables with diameters of 30 mm or greater. It simulates mechanical wear conditions, ensuring that cable sheaths can withstand long-term handling, installation, and operational abrasion without degradation. The instrument provides precise control over abrasion speed, force, and cycle count, delivering repeatable and reliable test results.
Application
This tester is applicable for:
New energy cables with extruded plastic outer jackets (≥30 mm diameter)
Power distribution and control cables requiring outer sheath durability evaluation
Electric vehicle and renewable energy cable production for quality control
Research and development of cable materials to optimize sheath formulation
Inspection and certification laboratories for compliance testing
Standards
The instrument conforms to international and national standards for cable sheath abrasion testing:
(1) JB/T 10696.6-2007 — Methods for mechanical and physical properties of wires and cables, Part 6: Extruded sheath abrasion test
