G612 Shoe Wear Tester: Ensuring National Standard Compliance

The G612 national standard shoe wear testing machine is designed to evaluate the abrasion resistance of shoe soles under controlled conditions, ensuring compliance with Chinese footwear durability standards. By simulating prolonged walking friction, it quantifies material wear rates, critical for quality control in manufacturing.

Applicable Standards

The tester conforms to GB/T 3903.16-2008, China’s national standard for shoe sole abrasion testing. Key requirements include specific test durations, abrasive materials, and minimum wear thresholds.

Main Parameters

Rotation Speed: 40–60 rpm (simulates walking pace).

Load: 5–10 N (adjustable to mimic body weight).

Abrasive Material: Standardized sandpaper (P120 grit).

Test Duration: Up to 24 hours (programmable cycles).

Working Principle

A rotating abrasive disc applies friction to the sole sample under constant load. Sensors monitor wear depth in real-time, while a digital counter tracks cycles. The machine stops automatically when predefined wear limits are reached.

Test Principle

Sample Preparation: Mount soles on a rotating platform.

Abrasion Process: Apply load and start disc rotation.

Wear Measurement: Calculate volume loss using initial/final thickness.

Pass/Fail Criteria: Compare results to standard thresholds (e.g., <10mm³ wear after 20.000 cycles).

This tester ensures footwear meets national quality benchmarks, reducing premature wear and enhancing product lifespan. It’s vital for manufacturers and labs prioritizing compliance with Chinese regulations.
