Application

Martindale Abrasion and Pilling Tester, To determine the abrasion and pilling resistance of all kinds of textile structures. Samples are rubbed against known abradants at low pressures and in continuously changing directions and the amount of abrasion or pilling is compared against standard parameters.

Standard

Abrasion: GB/T 21196.2, GB/T 13775, ISO 12947, ASTM D4966, IWS TM 112, M&S P19, Next 18, SN 198529, TWC 112, JIS L1096, (ISO17076-2 ball plate method, optional)

Pilling: GB/T 4802.2, ISO12945-2, ASTM D4970, IWS TM 196, M&S P17, Next TM26, SN 198525

Features

Standard: Lissajous figure.
Working positions: 4, 6, 8, 9 optional.
Counting Method: 1) count up. 2) count down.
The unique design allows removal of individual sample holders for examination without lifting the top motion plate.
Standard sample holders with 9 and 12kpa weights included.
PLC, 7 inches color touch screen, Chinese and English operation interface.
Weights and key components are made up by stainless steel which is well-formed and durable in use.
To prevent distortion, the top motion plate was special made up by 316 aluminum alloy.
