The Martindale abrasion and pilling test machine is capable of determining the abrasion and pilling resistance of all textile structures. The sample is rubbed against a known abrasive under low pressure and continuously changing orientation. And compare the amount of wear or pilling with standard parameters.

Product Specification

Textile Martindale Abrasion Tester determines all textile structures’ abrasion and pilling resistance. Samples are rubbed against known abradants at low pressures and continuously changing directions. And the amount of abrasion or pilling is compared against standard parameters.

The unique design of the Martindale tester allows the removal of individual sample holders for examination without lifting the top motion plate. Martindale tester provides individual counters and parking functions, interval time settable, large touch-screen display, Standard sample holders, and nine and 12kpa Weights are included. Martindale Tester is available with 4, 6, 8, or 9 test positions.
