Automotive Heel Abrasion Tester
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.

Test Principle
During testing, the specimen is positioned beneath a rubber heel (smooth side used for abrasion) and fixed securely. The heel is then lowered and loaded to a total of 5.6 kg. The machine moves the heel in a reciprocating motion, simulating one complete double stroke per forward and reverse cycle.
The visual wear assessment includes evaluating the abraded area for:
Loss of pile or useful layer
Torn-out tufts or fibers
Overall change in surface appearance
