Martindaleabrasjonstest
The Martindale abrasion test is a widely used method for determining the abrasion and pilling resistance of fabrics. Developed by J.G. Martindale in the 1940s, the test involves rubbing a fabric sample against a standard abrasive material under a controlled pressure. The apparatus consists of a motor that rotates two arms, each holding a specimen holder. A circular abrasive disc is placed beneath each specimen holder.
During the test, the fabric specimen is mounted on a holder and subjected to a rotating abrasive
The test is continued until a predetermined number of abrasion cycles have been completed, or until the
The results of the Martindale abrasion test are reported as the number of cycles the fabric endured
