The Martindale abrasion resistance test refers to a test performed on textiles according to the Martindale standard system, and the abrasion resistance of the fabric is tested through this test. Wear resistance is an important indicator of the quality of textile products. It directly affects the durability and use effect of the product. Wear resistance refers to the ability of fabrics to resist wear during repeated friction with other materials. The machine used to test the abrasion resistance of fabrics is the Martindale Abrasion Tester.

Martindale abrasion testers are manufactured according to standards, but due to the different national and regional standard series, we can divide them into international standards, EU, US, Germany, UK, Chinese standards, etc. details as follows:

International standard

1. ISO12947.2-1998 "Determination of the abrasion resistance of fabrics by the Martindale method in textiles Part 2: Determination of sample damage";
2. ISO12947.3-1998 "Determination of Textile Abrasion Resistance by Martindale Method Part 3: Determination of Quality Loss";
3. ISO12947-4—1998 "Determination of abrasion resistance of fabrics by Martindale method in textiles-Part 4: Evaluation of appearance changes".

1. ASTMD4966-2010 "Fabric Abrasion Resistance Test Martindale Abrasion Tester".

EU standards

2. ENISO12947-3:1998 "Determination of the abrasion resistance of fabrics by Martindale method in textiles Part 3: Determination of mass loss";
3. ENISO12947-4:1998 "Determination of the abrasion resistance of fabrics by Martindale method for textiles-Part 4: Evaluation of appearance changes".

German Institute for Standardization (DIN) standards

1. DINENISO12947-2-2007 "Textiles. Determination of fiber abrasion resistance by the Markov method. Part 2: Test damage determination";

3. DINENISO12947-7-2007 "Textiles. Determination of the abrasion resistance of fabrics by the Martindale method. Part 4: Appearance change evaluation".

British Standards Institution (BS) standards

1. BSISO12947.2-1998 "Determination of the abrasion resistance of fabrics by the Martindale method in textiles Part 2: Determination of sample damage";
2. BSISO12947.3-1998 "Determination of abrasion resistance of fabrics by Martindale method in textiles Part 3: Determination of mass loss";
3. BSENISO12947-4-1999 "Determination of Abrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics by Martindale Method Part 4 Evaluation of Appearance Change".

China National Standard

1. GB/T21196.2-2007 "Determination of abrasion resistance of textiles by Martindale method Part 2: Determination of sample damage";
2. GB/T21196.3-2007 "Determination of abrasion resistance of fabrics by Martindale method in textiles Part 3: Determination of mass loss";
3. GB/T21196.4-2007 "Determination of the abrasion resistance of fabrics by the Martindale method in textiles-Part 4: Evaluation of appearance changes".

Test principle

The circular sample and the fabric of the same material are rubbed with the Lissajous pattern motion track under a given pressure. After the specified number of revolutions is reached, the fuzzing and pilling level of the sample is evaluated.

So what is the purpose of the Martindale tester?

Martindale Abrasion and Pilling Tester was developed primarily to assess abrasion resistance of woven worsted wool fabrics. It can also be used to determine the wool fabric pilling performance under slight pressure. Not available in thickness of more than 3mm of wool fabric. It can also be used to determine the wool fabric pilling performance under slight pressure.
