Martindale Abrasion Tester, to determine the abrasion and pilling resistance of all kinds of textile structures. Martindale Test Equipment complies with ASTM D4966, ASTM D4970, ISO 12947, etc. Martindale Fabric Abrasion Tester will meet your needs when you do Martindale rub test. Please contact us for more information about Martindale Machine or Martindale pilling test methods.
Martindale abrasion tester working principle:
Test piece of fabric is placed in the specimen clamp, and it will be rubbed against with abradant in a Lissajous figure. According to the requirement, once the test piece is broken, test piece should be taken down to calculate its abrasion resistance index, or evaluate its rating of pilling through the visual description.
Testing Standards:
ASTM D4970, ISO 12945.2, GB/T 4802.2/13775/21196.1/21196.2, ASTM D4966, ISO 12947, FZ/T 20020, BS 3424-24/5690, ISO 12947.1/12947.2, M&S P17/P19/P19C, NEXT 18/18a/18b, ISO 5470-2, IWTO-40, JIS L1096 8.17.5 Method E, Woolmark TM 112/196, BS EN 388/530/13770, ISO 20344
Product Information:
The instrument is professionally designed to determine the abrasion and pilling resistance of all kinds of textile structures.
Samples are rubbed against known abradents at low pressures and in continuously changing directions and the amount of abrasion or pilling is compared against standard parameters.
Provided with Touch Screen Controller and unique programming device which includes preprogammable batch and totaliser counters, individual station counters, 4 selectable test speeds with liquid crystal display.
