Test method for pilling abrasion of fabric
Measuring method: 1. Pilling box 2. Random rolling pilling test 3. Abrasion tester for pilling test 1. Pilling box: The sample (125 mm × 125 mm) is cut from the fabric (2 is warp latitude). Sew face to face and turn around. The fabric tube is installed on the rubber tube. Use PVC tape to loosen the tape. All four samples are then put together in a cork-lined box 9' x 9' x 9' x' and allow the desired revolution cycle. Take out the specimen and remove it from the rubber tube and evaluate it. At the same time, the main reason for pilling is that the fiber has high 'transverse strength' or 'bend' or 'low brittleness'. High 'transverse strength' may be advantageous in some applications, such as technical textiles, floor coverings, etc. However, the tendency of pilling has also increased, so 'low lateral strength' is desirable in the apparel industry, especially in knitted products. Polyester fiber is intentionally brittle and used in knitted products to avoid pilling (anti-pilling type). The pellets do not form fibers with low transverse strength (wool and pellet-resistant man-made fibers). They can be wiped off easily. But the strength of the fiber and the high side will have higher pilling. Anti-pilling performance and durability are negatively correlated. Pilling grade: No or very weak pill at grade 5. Weak pill at grade 4. Grade moderate pellets. Grade 2 obvious pellets. Grade 1 drug strength. 2. Random tumbling pilling test: Random tumbling motion of tumbling in a cylindrical test box made of light abrasive materials. In order to match the actual wear Similar tablets, with a small amount of cotton fiber added. Three specimens of 105 mm x 105 mm cut corners 45? length and edges are glued and sealed with rubber. All these samples together with the cotton are dropped in the test chamber. After a certain period of time Fabric samples are evaluated. The number and time of the cycles depend on the type of fabric and will be specified in the relevant specifications. Third, the abrasion tester for the pilling test: the specimen is mounted on the large (bottom) and small (top) sample holders . Then rub each other (source sample). 2 Pressure: 2.5/cm knitted fabric. Woven and upholstery fabric 6.5. In the standard abrasive, the fabric sample is placed on the lower shelf. If the degree of pilling is different, the upper and lower shelf are on the sample Evaluation. The number and duration of the cycle depends on the type of fabric testing and will be specified in the relevant specifications.

Cut resistance is one of the most critical performance indicators in personal protective equipment (PPE) testing, directly affecting worker safety in high-risk industries such as metal processing, machinery manufacturing, and emergency rescue. The TDM Cut Test Machine GT-KC28 plays a vital role in accurately evaluating the cut resistance of PPE products, including gloves, protective clothing, footwear materials, composite materials, rubber, and industrial textiles.
By adopting high-precision force control systems, intelligent data processing, and stable transmission technology, the GT-KC28 TDM Cut Tester can accurately measure the critical cutting force of materials and ensure excellent repeatability and comparability of test results. Its user-friendly touch-screen operation, comprehensive data storage, USB data export, and built-in thermal printer greatly improve laboratory efficiency and data traceability.
The TDM Cut Test Machine GT-KC28 fully complies with major international and national standards such as ISO 13997, EN 388, ASTM F2992/F2992M, ANSI/ISEA 105, and GB 24541-2022, making it a reliable solution for PPE manufacturers, third-party testing laboratories, and research institutions. Through precise and standardized cut resistance testing, the GT-KC28 helps reduce industrial cutting injuries, supports PPE certification across global markets, and ensures that protective equipment delivers reliable safety performance in real-world applications.
