Martindale Abrasion And Pilling Tester With 4 Test Stations
Product introduction
It can detect the abrasion resistance and pilling performance of
various structural fabrics. The sample and a certain friction
material are subjected to low-pressure continuous commutation
friction, and the degree of wear and pilling can be compared with
standard parameters. The instrument adopts the movable sample
fastening component, which can take out a certain friction sample
at any time without affecting other samples, not only realizes the
rapid and independent detection of the sample, but also ensures the
accuracy of the synchronous measurement of the friction.
Test principle
The circular fabric sample is rubbed against the standard abrasive
according to the trajectory of the Lisajous curve under a certain
pressure, causing the sample to be damaged, and the abrasion
resistance of the fabric is indicated by the number of wear
resistance of the sample.
Standards compliant
The requirements for testing the pilling degree of fabrics such as
ASTM D4970, ISO12945-2, etc. are required to test the abrasion
resistance of fabrics such as ASTM D4966, ISO12947.
Pilling test
The fluffy ball test method used on Martindale was developed in
conjunction with EMPA. The test is suitable for knitted and woven
fabrics (woven from spun yarn). The test instrument is used to
simulate the pilling that occurs during normal wear. Under slight
pressure, the sample mounted on the sample holder and the
self-woven fabric on the grinding table are rubbed with each other
in a certain geometric pattern, and then the ground sample is
ground. Contrast with standard samples. According to the type of
the sample to be tested, it can be simply divided into: a sample of
the pilling and pilling of the pilling fabric, and a sample of the
pilling fabric. According to the blistering eye, the red line is
divided into five levels:
5- no pilling, 4-light pilling, 3-medium pilling, 2-severe pilling,
1- very serious pilling.
Why does pilling happen?
What causes fabric pilling on clothes? These pesky fabric pills are
the result of normal wear and tear—broken clothing fibers on the
surface become tangled together. Over time, these threads clump
together, forming the characteristic lint ball that is stuck to
your clothing.
