Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a Martindale Tester used for?
A Martindale Tester is used to determine the abrasion and pilling resistance of all kinds of textile structures. It rubs samples against known abradents at low pressures in continuously changing directions to evaluate wear performance.
What testing standards does the ULB-T04 model comply with?
It complies with major international standards, including ISO 12947, ASTM D4966, and GB/T 21196.2 for abrasion testing, as well as ISO 12945-2, ASTM D4970, and GB/T 4802.2 for pilling testing.
How many working positions are available on this machine?
The tester is available with 4, 6, or 9 working positions, allowing multiple samples to be tested simultaneously to improve laboratory efficiency.
What are the nominal test pressures used for abrasion and pilling?
For abrasion, it supports 9kPa (for apparel and household textiles) and 12kPa (for workwear, upholstery, and technical fabrics). For pilling, the total mass sum is 415±2g.
How is the test cycle controlled and counted?
The machine features a PLC control system with a 7-inch color touch screen interface supporting both Chinese and English. It supports both count-up and count-down methods with a counter range of 0 to 999,999 times.
What standard accessories are included in the package?
Standard accessories include abrasion and pilling weights/holders, standard abradent fabrics, backing foams, woven felt discs (90mm and 140mm), cutting dies, pressing weights, and mounting auxiliary devices.
