Martindale

Tool to determine the degree of wear of a product and/or the formation of Pilling.

The abrasion tester is designed to determine, by rubbing against a standard abrasive fabric, the degree of wear of a manufactured product. Or the formation of Pilling by rubbing one against the other of a manufactured product.
The assessment of the abrasive power (verifiable with fabric against fabric or fabric against standard woolen fabric tests) is carried out after a certain number of cycles, observing the differences in appearance, compared to the sample as it is and possibly recording the drop in weight.
The new touch screen panel allows easy management and setting of the number of revolutions with which to carry out the tests.

The peculiarity of the pneumatic lift version of the sample holder is the possibility of setting up the machine only once and being able to check the results on different numbers of abrasion cycles for each sample under examination, without intermediate operator interventions. For example, the instrument can be set up in the evening, let it work during the night and come back the next day checking the abrasion of a sample at 10,000 rpm, of another at 20,000 and of a third at 30,000 rpm. It is therefore possible to set, during a single test session, a different number of cycles on each sample, without the necessary supervision to restart the machine.
