Detailed analysis of Martindale Abrasion Tester parameters

1. Scope of application:
Applicable to the test of abrasion resistance and apparent pilling performance of woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, non-woven fabrics, decorative materials, coated fabrics, etc.

2. Compliant with the standard:
1. International Standard:
ISO 5470: Rubber or plastic coated fabric - Determination of abrasion resistance
ISO12945.2: Fabric fluff Determination of pilling Martindale method ISO12947: Determination of abrasion resistance of fabric by the Martindale method ( Martindale) for textiles
2. American Society for Testing Materials: ASTM? Abrasion resistance test Martindale method
3. Chinese National Standard:
GB/T 4802.2: Pilling Properties of Textile Fabrics Determination of
GB/T21196: Determination of Abrasion Resistance of Martindale Textile Fabrics (Martindale Abrasion Tester, Determination of Sample Breakage, Determination of Mass Loss, Evaluation of appearance change)
GB/T13775: Cotton, linen, spun silk woven fabrics abrasion resistance test
4, EU-norm:
EN ?ISO?12947 Textile Martindale method for determining the abrasion resistance of fabrics
5, British Standards Institution
BS?ISO12947 Textiles use the Martindale method to determine the abrasion resistance of fabrics , etc.
Third, working principle:
The tested substance is placed on top in the specimen holder and rubs against the abrasive mounted on the grinding table. The friction trajectory is a Lissajous figure. After the specified friction phase according to the test requirements, remove the fabric and calculate the abrasion resistance index or evaluate the fuzzing and pilling level of the sample through visual description.
