Martindale Abrasion Tester for Fabric & Textile Durability

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)

Product Advantages

Precision Abrasion Testing

9-station design with adjustable pressure (1–12 kPa) and speed (20–75 RPM) replicates real-world wear patterns.

Universal Material Compatibility

Tests woven, knitted, nonwoven fabrics, leather, and coated materials (e.g., vinyl, PU).

Cost-Effective Automation

Programmable cycles (1–999.999 strokes) and digital counter reduce manual oversight by 60%.

User-Friendly Operation

10.1-inch touchscreen interface with multilingual support (English, Spanish, French, Chinese) and one-touch test start.

Modular Design

Interchangeable abrasives (felt, wool, sandpaper) and quick-release sample holders for rapid configuration changes.

Product 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.
