The pilling tester is a 6-station tester used to evaluate the wear resistance or pilling effect of fabrics (or leather). The sample is typically subjected to a certain number of cycles of friction with known abrasives, such as nylon brushes, sponges, or Velcro, and then compared to industry testing standards (such as ASTM D3512) or laboratory developed standards to document the degree of fuzzing. The machine can be configured with various grinding materials or testing materials and testing weights.
To purchase a complete set of pilling testers, it is necessary to have six basic testing stations and one set of the following equipment.
