About the Gester C13 Martindale Fabric Abrasion Tester Series

Abrasion resistance of textiles refers to abrasion resistance between fabrics or between fabrics and other substances when rubbed repeatedly. The Martindale abrasion tester is widely used to test the abrasion resistance of apparel and home textiles, decorative fabrics and furniture.

Introducing the C13 series from Application, Defaults

A. Martindale GT-C13 for abrasion and pilling testing
1. Application

The Martindale GT-C13 for abrasion and pilling testing is the standard method for determining the wear resistance of textiles or leather and the pilling resistance Resistance. Samples are rubbed at low pressures and in continuously changing environments against known abrasive directions and the amount of abrasion or pilling is compared to standard parameters. Adaptable for testing a variety of applications including textiles, socks, leather, coated upholstery, tecarpet, wood and shirt collar.
