Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of a Martindale Tester?
The Martindale Tester is designed to determine the abrasion and pilling resistance of all types of textile structures. It simulates natural wear by rubbing fabric samples against a known abradent at low pressures in continuously changing directions.
What testing standards does the ULB-T04 model comply with?
For abrasion testing, it complies with standards such as GB/T 21196.2, GB/T 13775, ISO 12947, and ASTM D4966. For pilling testing, it meets GB/T 4802.2, ISO12945-2, and ASTM D4970, among others.
How does the counting system work on this machine?
The Martindale Abrasion Tester features two counting methods: counting up and counting down, controlled via a user-friendly 7-inch PLC color touch screen interface.
What test pressures are applied for abrasion and pilling tests?
For abrasion testing, nominal pressures of either 9kPa (595g total mass for apparel/household textiles) or 12kPa (795g total mass for workwear/upholstery) are applied. For pilling testing, a total mass of 415g is used.
Are the weights and components durable?
Yes, the weights and key mechanical components are constructed from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring they are well-formed, corrosion-resistant, and highly durable for long-term laboratory use.
