Pilling Tester

This Pilling Tester is stable and reliable, and it can be operated and monitored remotely from the smartphone through IoT technology, which greatly improves working efficiency. The Pilling Tester meets ISO 12945-2-2020, ISO12947-2-2016, GB/T 21196.1-2007, GB/T 4802.2-2008, BS EN530-2010, ASTM D4970/4970M-22, ASTM D 4966-22 and other test standards.

There are three models of this Pilling Tester, CV210-4, CV210-6, and CV210-9. The difference is in the appearance of the guide plates and the testable stations. For example, the guide plate of CV210-9 is butterfly-shaped and has 9 test stations but the CV210-4 and CV210-6 are square and have 4, and 6 test stations separately. We also provide another kind of pilling tester.

 

Application of Pilling Tester

Smart instrument

This Pilling Tester can be connected through Wi-Fi with the SmarTexLab App installed in the smartphones, then you can set parameters, monitor the test status, and receive equipment warning reminders, replenishment reminders, etc., and share the Martindale test results with one click.

Stable running, reliable testing

The fixture rotates flexibly and the height of the grinding table and specimen fixture is parallel. The machine and the surface of the grinding table have a small jump (less than 0.05mm), all above are more conducive to achieving reliable Martindale test results.

Following the Martindale abrasion tester working principle, the test involves placing a fabric specimen in the clamp of the machine. The specimen will then be abraded in a standard Lissajous figure against an abradant, such as leather. As the tester operates on this rubbing motion, it simulates real-world abrasive forces like fabric contacting other surfaces through daily use and cleaning. Once the required abrasion cycles are reached according to test standards or the Martindale abrasion tester protocol, the specimen will be evaluated. If breakage occurs, the cycle number is recorded to calculate the abrasion resistance index. Alternatively, a visual assessment of the fabric pilling and wear rate can be made to determine its durability performance rating.

  1. Test piece preparation
  2. Test piece selection
  3. Test placement
  4. Placement of wool felt and abradant
  5. Pressing the abradant on the pressure head

Before calibration, it is necessary to confirm that there are no defects in appearance and electromechanical functions that affect the calibration measurement characteristics……

  1. Must be regular external cleaning of the instrument as well as cleaning, to ensure the cleanliness of the test instrument
  2. Regular inspection of the test instrument to see if there are any abnormalities;
  3. The use of personnel in the process should be used by the correct method of use, not illegal use, so as not to damage the instrument, resulting in shortening the life of the instrument;
  4. After the test instrument is finished, the personnel should put the instrument away and clean it accordingly to ensure the cleanliness of the instrument.
  5. In the case of not using the instrument, the power of the instrument should be turned off, and continue to keep the instrument clean.
