The Martindale Abrasion Tester is suitable for knitted fabric, woolen fabric, artificial leather, synthetic leather and so on under pressure wear resistance and pilling degree test. in the relevant fabric and clothing production enterprise laboratory and third-party quality inspection agency laboratory are available to.

The Martindale wear tester newly designed by GESTER has 4, 6, 8, 9 test stations available.

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

Martindale Tester to determine the abrasion and pilling resistance of all kinds of textile structures. 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. 

Abrasion test steps: 

1. Remove the pallet, unscrew the fixture. First put a φ140mm wool felt on the surface of the fixture, and then put a φ140mm friction cloth, flatten it with a pressure tuft, and lock the fixture.

2. Unscrew the fixture, put the sample cut out with the φ38mm cutting sample board, and then pad a φ38mm foam pad, and put the clamp to the position of the above picture to fix and lock.

3. Insert the pin into the hole on the edge

4. Fix the pallet on the machine steadily. Note: The 3 pins should be stuck in the middle of the U-shaped groove.

5. Put the installed fixture sample on the grinding disc and insert the extension rod with 9KA or 12KPA weight, the sample installation is complete.

6.Turn on the power, enter the test interface, and perform test settings.

a. Test times.  

b. Test speed per minute completed by the machine.

c. Counting methods.

(There are two counting methods, one is total count, the other is countdown.)

Clear the number of previous tests and press to start the test.

7. When the progress bar below or the machine has run for the set number of times, the machine automatically stops and the test is completed.

Pilling test steps

1. Remove the pallet and insert the pin into the middle hole.

2. Unscrew the clamp, first put a φ140mm wool felt on the surface of the clamp, and then put a φ140mm friction cloth, flatten it with a pressure mound, and lock the clamp.

3. Put the sample cut out with φ140 sample into the bowl sample loader, put φ90mm wool felt, the rubber ring of the fixture down the sampler, until the sample is fixed.

4. Fix the pallet on the machine steadily (The 3 bolts should be stuck in the middle of the U-shaped groove )

5. Put the installed fixture sample on the grinding disc, insert the extension rod and 260G weight, the sample installation is completed.

6. Turn on the power, enter the test interface, and make test settings. (1 Test times 2 Test speed completed by the machine per minute 3 Counting methods {There are two ways, one is the total
