The Martindale Abrasion Tester is a precision instrument designed to evaluate the abrasion and pilling resistance of fabrics, leathers, and coated materials under controlled cyclic motion. Operating at a standard cycle rate of 47.5 ± 2.5 cycles per minute (CPM), it provides reliable and repeatable results for quality control and research applications.
Application
Textile manufacturers (fabric QC for apparel, upholstery, automotive interiors)
Retail brands (garment durability testing)
Research institutes (material science innovation)
Third-party labs (ISO/ASTM certification)
Standard
ASTM D4966(Standard Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics)
ISO 12947-1/2/3/4(Textiles - Determination of the Abrasion Resistance of Fabrics by the Martindale Method)
ISO 5470-2(Rubber- or Plastics-Coated Fabrics - Abrasion Resistance)
Features
Testing Modes
Abrasion Resistance: Measures fabric weight loss after cyclic abrasion.
Pilling Assessment: Evaluates surface fuzzing and pill formation (1–5 scale).
Real-Time Monitoring
High-resolution cameras capture wear patterns every 100 cycles.
Data Management
Cloud-compatible software stores 50.000+ test results and generates ISO/ASTM-compliant reports.
Safety & Compliance
Overload protection, emergency stop, and CE certification for laboratory safety.
