The Martindale abrasion tester applies friction to circular fabric specimens under specified pressure, following a Lissajous motion path. After a set number of cycles, the pilling grade is evaluated. It also tests fabric abrasion resistance according to GB/T 13775, ASTM D4966, and ISO 12947 standards.
Efficient and Durable Eight-station Martindale Tester for Accurate Fabric Testing
Martindale Tester for Efficient and Standard-Compliant Fabric Testing
The Martindale abrasion tester is widely used to evaluate the abrasion resistance and pilling performance of textiles, nonwovens, leather, and automotive interior materials. It simulates real-world wear conditions through a Lissajous motion path under specified pressure, making it ideal for quality control and research in apparel, upholstery, and vehicle interior industries.

Q1: What is the purpose of the Martindale abrasion tester?
A1: The purpose of the Martindale abrasion Tester is to assess the wear resistance and pilling performance of textiles, leather, and similar materials by simulating natural wear through controlled rubbing motion
Q2: How does a Martindale abrasion tester work?
A2: A Martindale abrasion tester works by rubbing a test specimen against a standard abrasive material in a circular, Lissajous motion under a specified pressure. This simulates natural wear. After a set number of cycles, the specimen is inspected for signs of wear, damage, or pilling.
Q3: What materials can be tested with the Martindale abrasion tester?
A3: The Martindale abrasion tester can be used to test a wide range of materials, including textiles (such as clothing and upholstery fabrics), nonwovens, leather, synthetic leather, coatings, and automotive interior materials.
Tips: How often should the Martindale abrasion tester be calibrated?
The Martindale abrasion tester should be calibrated every 6 to 12 months, depending on usage frequency and quality control requirements. High-volume or precision labs may need more frequent calibration. Regular checks ensure accuracy in pressure, motion path, and cycle count. Calibration helps maintain consistent test results and compliance with standards like ISO 12947 and ASTM D4966.
