About Random Tumble Pilling Tester

Pilling is the formation of small and blurry fiber balls on the surface of a fabric, typically caused by friction and abrasion during use. Pilling can affect the appearance and quality of textiles, so it is important to assess a fabric's resistance to pilling through testing.

A common testing method for evaluating pilling is to use a Random Tumble Pilling Tester. This testing device simulates the pilling process that occurs during normal use, such as friction between clothes and surfaces or pilling during washing and drying, which helps to evaluate the fabric's anti pilling ability.

The Random Tumble Pilling Tester consists of a testing chamber or box with a rotating drum. In the drum, the fabric sample is placed together with cork or abrasive. Fix the fabric sample in the drum and apply the specified number of rotations or set testing cycles.

The drum rotates randomly, causing the fabric sample to roll and rub against the surface of the cork or abrasive. This action imitates the friction and wear experienced by the fabric during use.

The Fabric Pilling Tester can quantitatively evaluate the pilling resistance of fabrics, allowing manufacturers to compare different fabrics or evaluate the impact of production process or material changes. This information helps to select suitable fabrics for specific applications and ensures that the final product meets the required quality standards.

After the test is completed, evaluate the fabric sample through visual inspection or magnification. To evaluate the degree of pilling of fabrics, it is usually rated on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 indicating no pilling and 1 indicating severe pilling.

The results obtained by the Random Tumble Pilling Tester can help fabric manufacturers, clothing manufacturers, and textile quality control personnel understand the pilling behavior of different fabrics. This information is used to improve fabric formulations, modify production processes, or select fabrics that meet certain quality standards.

It is worth noting that there may be various variations in the random rolling and pilling tester, and different testing standards or specifications may apply. The specific details and procedures for conducting testing may vary depending on the equipment manufacturer, industry standards, and specific testing requirements.
