The VW Heel Abrasion Tester is designed to evaluate the wear resistance of floor covering materials subjected to repetitive mechanical stress from heel contact. The test simulates the load exerted by a rubber shoe heel in vehicle interior areas, particularly around the accelerator, brake, and clutch pedals.
This method helps determine the durability, pile retention, and visual appearance of carpet and flooring materials under dry and wet abrasion conditions, following automotive test practices.
Application
The tester is used for abrasion performance evaluation of interior floor materials, including but not limited to:
Automotive interior carpets for accelerator, brake, and clutch pedal areas
Tufted carpets, needle-punched felts, and pile floor coverings
Rubber-backed and composite floor materials
Material comparison during product development and process optimization
Incoming inspection and type testing for automotive OEMs and suppliers
Dry and wet abrasion condition studies for vehicle interior applications
Evaluation Criteria
After test completion, the abraded area is assessed for:
Reduction in useful layer or pile height
Fiber or tuft damage
Surface appearance change due to abrasion
Visual grading according to standard reference samples or OEM-specific criteria
