Martindale Abrasion Machine | Martindale Abrasion Tester China Manufacturer & Supplier
Martindale Abrasion & Pilling Tester is a multipurpose textile testing machine used for determining the abrasion resistance of textile fabrics or the resistance to the formation of pills and other related surface changes on textile fabrics.
The structure of the Martindale tester consists of a metal base, clamping system, drive system, control system and display system, etc. It features a clean design, easy operation and reliable performance.
When testing the abrasion resistance of fabrics, there are 2 different testing methods and instruments. In addition to the Martindale abrasion machine, there is another machine named the Wyzenbeek abrasion tester. AMADETECH is available to provide both. Please feel free to reach us if you are interested in either.
Test Principle of Fabric Abrasion Resistance Test Using the Martindale Tester
A circular test piece attached to the specimen holder is rubbed against a standard fabric in a motion drawing a Lissajous figure at a prescribed rate and under a specified pressure. Resistance to abrasion is determined from the inspection intervals to failure of the specimen using the given methods.
Test Principle of Fabric Pilling Resistance Test Using the Martindale Pilling Tester
The surface of the test specimen mounted to the sample holding device is rubbed against the face of the same mounted fabric in the form of a Lissajous figure under a specified load for a defined number of movements. Resistance to pilling, fuzzing or other surface appearance changes is evaluated by a visual comparison of the tested specimen with a standard one.
