Calibrade Wheels
H-10 Calibrade
– A non-resilient, vitrified wheel
designed to evaluate steel and ferrous alloys for
resistance to abrasion. It has also been used, to
test the effect of hardening and tempering
treatment on steel and other ferrous materials.
The H-10 Calibrade wheel should be used with
either 500 or 1000 gram loading.
H-18 Calibrade
– This commonly used non-
resilient wheel provides a medium coarse
abrasive action. It is most often used to
evaluate resilient materials such as rubber (non-
tacky), certain woven textile fabrics, coated
fabrics, and flexible plastic sheets.
H-22 Calibrade
– The H-22 wheel produces a
coarse abrasion. It has been used to test
rubber, linoleum, leather, deep pile fabrics (such
as automobile floor coverings) and concrete.
H-38 Calibrade
– A non-resilient, vitrified
abrading wheel comprised of fine abrasive
particles. Designed to operate with 250 or 500
gram loads, the principal use of this wheel is to
test woven and non-woven fabrics. Must be
refaced using the Taber Wheel Refacer and
multi-point diamond tool.
NOTE:
Calibrade wheels do not have an expiration
period.
U
WARNING:
Calibrade wheels are diamond trued
at the factory and can be used continuously
without further refacing until the abrading
surfaces show indications of becoming worn out
of round, crowned or clogged. When refacing is
required, a wheel refacer must be used.

Taber Industries.
CS-0
– A resilient wheel containing no abrasive
particles. Intended for use when a very mild
abrasive action is required, or for wet tests such
as determining the relative abrasion of dental
pastes, cleaning powders, or similar
compounds. Adhesive sandpaper strips can be
adhered to the periphery of the CS-0 wheel to
evaluate the abrasion resistance of high-
pressure decorative laminates.

CS-5
– This abrading wheel is manufactured
from a densely compacted wool felt. Designed
to be tested at 250 or 500-gram loads, its
principal use is in testing textile fabrics when the
service wear requires one fibrous material to rub
against another.

– Manufactured out of tungsten carbide,
this periphery of the S-35 consists of sharp
