The Martindale abrasion tester works by rubbing circular fabric specimens against a standard material under defined pressure, following a Lissajous motion pattern. After completing a set number of cycles, the specimen's pilling level is assessed. The tester is also suitable for evaluating abrasion resistance based on GB/T 13775, ASTM D4966, and ISO 12947 standards.
Efficient and Durable Four-station Martindale Tester for Fabric Testing
- The four-station Martindale abrasion tester allows simultaneous testing of four samples, delivering consistent performance, intuitive operation, and precise results for both abrasion and pilling assessments.
- SISCO Martindale tester features a durable stainless steel base that offers strong resistance to corrosion and rust, ensuring long-lasting reliability and consistent performance in lab settings.
User-Friendly and Safe Martindale Tester for Standardized Pilling Tests
- This Martindale tester is designed with an intuitive control panel and includes a one-touch emergency stop for enhanced safety and ease of use.
- The instrument is suitable for evaluating fabric pilling performance in compliance with standards like GB/T 4802.2, ASTM D4970, and ISO 12945-2.
Applications
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.

Product Details
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: What should be paid attention to when using a Martindale abrasion ester?
- The sample must be securely and evenly fixed.
- Use the standard-specified abrasive and pressure.
- Use consumables from the same batch for each test to ensure consistency.
- Control ambient temperature and humidity within the standard-required range.
