Haze Kit
The Haze Kit is intended for those customers who perform abrasion testing on plastics or glass. This kit
includes a modified vacuum pick-up nozzle with 11mm
(0.4375 inch) orifice openings versus the nominal
8mm
(0.3125 inch) openings. Also supplied are a 0.8 mm (0.0132 inch) gage pin for setting the gap between
the specimen and vacuum nozzle and an antistatic brush for cleaning the specimen.
Arm Height Extension Kit
The Arm Height Extension Kit was engineered to accommodate specimens that exceed the
recommended thickness [up to 40mm (1.5 inch)]. This kit raises the position of the abrader arms and
allows for the correct alignment and positioning of the abrasive wheels. An extension post is threaded to
the turntable and by using the appropriate combination of turntable shims the proper arm position relative
to the specimen. Kits are available for Single and Dual abrasers and include the arm height extenders,
turntable adaptor and a set of 6 shims.
It is necessary to return your instrument to Taber Industries for
calibration.
Calibration Verification Kit
Instrument verification can be performed using the Calibration Verification Kit. This cost effective method
enables the operator to verify if an instrument is in calibration or if it is in need of repair. Procedures
described in the kit allow the verification of proper abraser arm alignment (longitudinal and transverse
alignment), wheel tracking and wear pattern, irregular bearing integrity and vacuum suction force. Other
inspections include vacuum pick-up nozzle wear, table flatness, turntable speed and accessory weights.
This kit is NOT intended as a substitution for regular instrument calibration.
