Martindale Abrasion and Pilling Tester is a testing instrument for testing the abrasion resistance and pilling properties of fabrics, leather, carpets and other materials. The principle is to evaluate the wear resistance and pilling performance of the material by simulating the wear and friction of the material during use.
 
Specifically, the Martindale Abrasion and Pilling Tester consists essentially of a rotating turntable and a set of sandpaper or flannelette. During the test, the sample to be tested is fixed on the turntable, and then rubbed by rotating the turntable with sandpaper or flannelette in contact with the surface of the sample to simulate the wear and friction of the material during use. By observing the degree of wear and pilling on the surface of the sample, the wear resistance and pilling performance of the material can be evaluated.

During testing, different test methods and parameters are often used to simulate different usage scenarios. For example, common abrasion resistance testing methods include translation method, reciprocating method and rotation method, etc. The pilling performance test usually adopts the "grading method", that is, the samples are rated according to the number and size of pilling, and the rating standards are usually formulated according to the use requirements of specific products and industry standards.
 
In short, Martindale Abrasion and Pilling Tester mainly evaluates the wear resistance and pilling performance of materials by simulating the wear and friction of materials during use. This test method is widely used in textile, clothing, shoes and hats, leather, carpet and other industries, and is one of the important tools to evaluate product quality and performance.
