n. C2 Proficiency abra·siome·ter
n. a scientific tool used to measure how quickly a surface wears away or gets scratched.
n. an instrument designed to measure the rate of wear or abrasion of a material surface. Often used in industrial testing to assess the durability of coatings or metals.
The engineer used an abrasiometer to test the new paint.
The laboratory technician calibrated the abrasiometer to ensure the test results were accurate for the automotive parts.
By subjecting the composite material to a controlled abrasive environment within the abrasiometer, researchers could quantify its resistance to mechanical degradation over thousands of cycles.
