The Martindale abrasion tester operates by subjecting circular specimens to friction against a standard fabric of the same material under a specified pressure, following a Lissajous motion path. After a set number of cycles, the pilling grade of the specimen is evaluated. It is also applicable for testing fabric abrasion resistance in accordance with GB/T13775, ASTM D4966, and ISO12947 standards.
Reliable Six-station Martindale Tester for Fabric Performance Testing
- Six-station Martindale brasion tester can efficiently tests six samples simultaneously with stable performance, user-friendly controls, and accurate results for abrasion and pilling evaluations.
- SISCO Martindale tester is constructed with a high-quality stainless steel base, ensuring excellent corrosion and rust resistance for long-term durability and stable performance in laboratory environments.
Safe and Standard-Compliant Martindale Tester with Easy Operation
- This Martindale test machine features a user-friendly button layout and is equipped with a one-touch emergency stop function for safer and more convenient operation.
- The instrument is applicable for testing the pilling performance of fabrics according to standards such as 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: How is the Martindale abrasion tester result evaluated?
- Abrasion Resistance: Measured by the number of cycles completed before noticeable wear or fabric breakdown occurs.
- Pilling Performance: Assessed by comparing the tested fabric surface to standard pilling grade images after a specified number of cycles.
- Grading System: Typically follows a 1 to 5 scale, where 5 indicates no pilling and 1 indicates severe pilling.
