2-Station Seatbelt Webbing Abrasion Tester

1. Product Function and Application

The 2-Station Seatbelt Webbing Abrasion Tester is designed to evaluate the abrasion resistance of seatbelt webbing materials used in lap belts, shoulder straps, and similar safety restraint systems. It simulates the wear and tear that occurs during long-term use, ensuring that seatbelt materials maintain their performance and durability.

This benchtop-style tester allows operators to assess the decrease in webbing strength after repeated abrasion cycles. During the test, the webbing specimen is scraped against a coarse material for a specified number of cycles—typically 2,500 or more—and then examined for visible damage and tensile strength reduction.

The tester is ideal for automotive manufacturers, component suppliers, and research laboratories for quality control, product certification, and safety verification of webbing materials.

2. Applicable Test Standards

The tester complies with major international and automotive standards for seatbelt and webbing testing, including:

FMVSS 209 — Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard for Seatbelt Assemblies

ASTM D6770 — Standard Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Textile Webbing

FED STD 191 — Federal Standard Test Methods for Textile Fabrics

MIL-232223B / MIL-T8363B — Military Standard for Webbing Materials

SAE J339 — Automotive Seatbelt Performance Standard

S5 1(d) — Durability Test Requirement

Designed specifically to meet FMVSS 209 requirements, this tester addresses the three core criteria of strength, performance, and durability for seatbelt components.
