Precautions for the use of ICI fabric pilling instrument1

The ICI pilling tester is suitable for detecting the pilling and pilling phenomenon caused by friction on the surface of the fabric without pressure. It is suitable for woven and knitted fabrics. 


ICI pilling tester Compliant with standards: ASTM D3939, GB/T 11047, JIS L1058 Scope of application: ICI hammer-type thread snagging tester, which can quickly detect the difficulty of fabric snagging under normal wearing conditions (that is, hook the yarn from the fabric out). 


ICI pilling tester Product introduction: This ICI pilling tester is equipped with an observation box and a comparison pattern card of different fabric structures. Equipped with 4 test rollers (covered with the fabric to be tested), the hammer ball is a tungsten carbide head and is controlled by a predetermined electronic counter. Instrument description: This tester is suitable for testing outerwear knitted fabrics and woven fabrics and other fabrics that are easy to snag, especially for the snagging properties of chemical fiber filaments and textured yarn fabrics. 


ICI pilling tester Technical Specifications: 


Mace Hook Diameter: 31.8mm 


Mace Weight: 135g 


Mace Protruding Length: 9.5mm 


Speed: 60±2rpm 


accessories: 1 pack of tungsten carbide needles (12 pieces/pack), 1 pack of felt (4 pieces/pack), refer to the hook drawing card, 1 set of ICI pilling tester 


ICI pilling tester Notes: 


1. Keep a stable voltage when using, avoid Burn out the power supply. 


2. Periodically clean cork liners with a suitable cleaning solvent, such as industrial methylated spirit or trichloroethane. 


3. When replacing the experimental tube, the new experimental tube needs to be checked before it can be used. 


4. Regularly check whether the buttons of the control panel and the screws of various parts are normal. 


5. Clean the instrument before and after each experiment to ensure that all fluff and debris are removed from the box. 


6. The reference fabric should be re-tested every six months with the original test specimen.

Influencing factors of fabric anti-pilling test grade
This analysis examines key factors affecting fabric anti-pilling test grades, emphasizing service conditions (mechanical friction during wear/washing) and test methodology variations (circular trajectory, Martindale, pilling box, random tumble). For exporters, aligning with destination-country standards is critical to prevent losses. Solutions include optimized dyeing/finishing processes with tailored anti-pilling agents and strict adherence to client-specified testing protocols for accurate gra
Influencing factors of fabric anti-pilling performance
This article analyzes the critical factors affecting fabric anti-pilling performance. Key influences include fiber characteristics (crimp, fineness, length), yarn properties (twist, hairiness), fabric structure (looseness), and dyeing/finishing processes (pre-treatment, pre-setting, resin application). Specific techniques like using degreasers, bath smoothing agents, and anti-pilling resins (e.g., PUNEW) are discussed, along with process parameters and considerations for maintaining fabric hand
Test principle and method of pilling box tester
The ICI Pilling and Snagging Tester evaluates the surface pilling and snagging propensity of woven and knitted fabrics. Specimens are mounted on tubes and tumbled randomly within a cork-lined box at a constant speed for a defined number of revolutions (e.g., 7200 or 14400). Pilling is assessed visually against standards like ISO 12945-1, GB/T4802.3, BS5811, and IWS TM152 after tumbling. Specimen preparation includes potential pretreatment, precise cutting, sewing, mounting, and conditioning.
