The fabric to be tested is mounted in the sample holder above the 8-head Martindale Abraser and rubbed against abrasives mounted on the grinding table. The friction trajectory is a Lissajous figure. After setting the friction times, evaluate the pilling or record the abrasion times of the samples.
Instrument Features
The unique design allows experiment setup and inspection without lifting the top guide.
This instrument can count the rubbing times of each sample and the total rubbing times of preset experiments.
This instrument has connection function, which allows users to do different experiments at the same time.
The instrument is equipped with a full set of sample holders, and an optional loading block ensures that the correct pressure is applied to the test fabric.
