Product Description
Summary:
This instrument is designed by absorbing the advantages of similar domestic and foreign instruments. It has a beautiful appearance and is easy to operate. The microcomputer system adopts two counting methods, which is intuitive and easy to set. Four stations can test at the same time to improve the test efficiency. The instrument also has two Lissajous 24mm24mm, 60.5mm60.5mm motion tracks and a variety of supporting accessories, which can adapt to a variety of test method standards.
This instrument is suitable for: GB/T4802.2, ASTM D4970, ISO12945-2 and other fabric pilling degree tests. Its principle: the circular sample and the fabric of the same material are rubbed with the Lissajous graphic motion track under a given pressure. After reaching the specified number of revolutions, the pilling grade of the sample is evaluated. It is also suitable for fabric wear resistance tests such as GB/T13775, ASTM D4966, ISO12947, etc.
The principle is: under a certain pressure, a circular fabric sample rubs against a standard abrasive according to the motion trajectory of the Lissajous curve, causing the sample to break. The number of times the sample is broken represents the wear resistance of the fabric.

FAQ's of Martindale Abrasion Tester for Textile Testing:
Q: How does the Martindale Abrasion Tester evaluate textile durability?
A: The Martindale Abrasion Tester determines textile durability by simulating wear conditions through a rotary abrasion motion. Fabric samples are pressed against a woven wool abradant under specific pressures (9 kPa for abrasion and 12 kPa for pilling) and cycled up to 999,999 times, allowing measurement of their abrasion and pilling resistance with high accuracy.
Q: What types and sizes of specimens can be tested with this machine?
A: This tester supports standard circular textile specimens with diameters of 38 mm and 140 mm, fitting multiple specimen holders. Depending on the selected model, you can test 4, 6, or 8 samples simultaneously, making it suitable for both individual and batch fabric testing.
Q: When is it ideal to use the Martindale Tester in the textile production process?
A: The Martindale Abrasion Tester is best used during quality control-prior to product release or during research and development. This ensures that the textiles meet specific durability and wear resistance standards before reaching the market.
Q: Where can the Martindale Abrasion Tester be installed and operated?
A: Its compact benchtop design allows installation in textile laboratories, manufacturing plants, and quality control departments. The machine operates efficiently under ambient conditions (temperature 15-35C, humidity 20-80% RH) and requires an AC 220V, 50Hz power supply.
Q: What is the testing procedure for this abrasion tester?
A: Place the circular textile specimens in the specimen holders, select the required abradant material, and set the programmed test cycles using the digital control panel. The machine then applies the stipulated pressure and rotary motion for the designated number of cycles, after which the degree of abrasion or pilling can be assessed.
Q: In what ways does this tester benefit manufacturers and exporters?
A: The Martindale Tester enables manufacturers and exporters to verify textile quality, ensuring products meet industry standards for durability and longevity. Its programmable features, instant digital feedback, and reproducible results help streamline quality control processes and enhance customer confidence.
Q: How easy is the device to use and monitor during testing?
A: The tester features an intuitive LCD digital display and keypad input, making test setup and adjustments simple. Audible alarms and precise cycle display facilitate easy monitoring during operation, and its semi-automatic design means less manual intervention is required.
