XD-B18 Martindale Abrasion and Pilling Tester

The Martindale Abrasion and Pilling Tester is the standard method of determining the wear resistance of textiles or leather and the resistance to pilling. 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.

Product Detail

Application of Martindale Abrasion and Pilling Tester:

The Martindale Abrasion and Pilling Tester, commonly referred to as the Martindale Tester, is designed to evaluate the abrasion and pilling resistance of various textile structures. During testing, samples are subjected to rubbing against abrasive surfaces under low pressure while the direction of movement continuously changes. The results are then compared to standardized parameters to determine the degree of wear or pilling, a process known as the Martindale Rub Test.

This versatile instrument is suitable for testing a wide range of materials, including textiles, socks, leather, coated upholstery, carpets, wood, and shirt collars.

The Martindale Tester is available in four models, offering configurations with 4, 5, or 9 abrading tables to meet diverse testing requirements.

Martindale Abrasion and Pilling Tester Working principle:

Under the specified pressure, the circular sample is rubbed with the same fabric or wool fabric abrasive fabric in the trajectory of Lissajous figure for a certain number of times, and then the abrasion resistance and pilling performance of the sample are checked.

Features of Martindale Abrasion and Pilling Tester:

1. Test Standard: Based on the Lissajous figure.

2. Working Positions: Options available for 4, 5, or 9 positions.

3. Counting Method: Supports both *count-up* and *count-down* modes.

4. Innovative Design: Allows individual sample holders to be removed for inspection without the need to lift the top motion plate.

5. Sample Holders: Includes standard holders with 9 kPa and 12 kPa weights.

6. User Interface: Features a PLC-controlled 7-inch color touchscreen with dual-language support (Chinese and English).

7. High-Quality Materials: Weights and key components are constructed from stainless steel for exceptional durability and precision.

8. Enhanced Stability: The top motion plate is crafted from 316 aluminum alloy to prevent distortion, ensuring long-term reliability.
