Martindale Abrasion Tester is a device used for abrasion and pilling testing. It uses precision components to provide abrasion or peeling movement. It is the best device for international and retailer standards.
Its design is attractive and functional. It is also very easy to use and provides reliable results. It has a lightweight motion plate. The sliding pad reduces the noise of motion plates. It has strong and solid base legs to increase the device is stability.
This device also has a motion plate storage rack, which is used to conserve the lab. With its help, full access to all abrasion stations is possible. Information for ordering test material is displayed on this device.
Martindale Abrasion Tester is recommended for air-conditioned environments. It has four test plates, including a rotating plate that can be rotated with cranks, pegs, and a motor. The rotating plate has four different sleeves on it.
The special feature of this instrument is that it has a multilingual interface. It includes language options of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Turkish. The instrument is designed to be user-friendly so that the operator can easily change the test station configuration with the special enhancement kit.
It is mainly used for Fabric Abrasion, Fabric Pilling, Sock Abrasion, Leather Abrasion, and Edge Abrasion. It is also naturally used in Testing Floor Coverings, Toothbrush Testings, and Other Specialized Testings. It helps in producing premium quality products.
The base of this instrument is compact, which provides maximum testing capacity. Its design is aimed at conserving valuable laboratory space. It is available in two sizes, Larger base and Smaller Base. Larger bases can have 6, 8, or 9 test positions, and Smaller Bases can have 4 test positions.
With the Martindale Abrasion Tester, you get Sample Holders, 9 kPa and 12 kPa Weights for standard abrasion testing, and Standard Mounting Device. It has an accessory holder to keep it safe and convenient when not in use.
It comes with many materials for quality testing. It supplies a wide range of consumables for testing. This ensures that the test is carried out in an accurate and reliable manner. Apart from being attractive, it is also practical, which makes it very easy to use.
This device is completely flexible. We can use the Testwise touch control system on it, which gives us excellent efficiency in the laboratory. Its glass cover is very strong so that there is no breakage in the laboratory. We can keep the test material safe by rotating the rings at each station present in it.
It is necessary to apply proper pressure during the test to get the correct result. A set of weights is provided for this. Templates and mallets also serve as standard accessories, which are used to cut samples and abrade the fabric. This allows us to test four samples simultaneously with great ease. This allows us to meet various training requirements.
This device operates on a dual servo system. This provides better performance and accuracy. It is very easy to switch between different modes. It does not require hardware conversion operations. We can perform the test with just one click.
The working process of Martindale Abrasion Tester is simple. Once it is readily available, we can use it easily. To test, the fabric has to be removed and loaded on the lower plates of the machine. This device has a small disc of abrasive worsted wool or wire mesh. The sample is then rubbed against it in an oscillating circle.
With the help of this device, we can ensure whether there is any kind of defect in the fabric or not. In case of any problem, the color of the cloth starts changing and its threads start breaking. If this happens, the test should be stopped immediately for some time. Wash or dry clean the sample before testing.

Q : What is the Martindale abrasion test?
A : When we rub a fabric or sample on an abrasive substance, the Martindale abrasion test is used. With the help of this test, we can measure its durability. Through this, we can easily know how resistant the fabric is to abrasion and pilling.
Q : What is a Martindale tester?
A : Martindale tester is a device which is capable of abrasion and pilling tests and provides accurate results using precise components. With its help, we measure the durability of a fabric.
Q : What is a pilling test?
A : When we need to measure and determine how resistant fabrics are to piling or fuzzing, a pilling test is used. Pilling occurs on fabrics when groups of short or broken fibers get tangled together in a knot. Pilling occurs on fabrics that have deteriorated in quality due to excessive use or wearing and rubbing.
Q : What is the Martindale pilling test method?
A : The Martindale pilling test method is a flat abrasion tester. We use this test to test for pilling tendency.
