The Martindale Abrasion Tester adopts an integrated design and is equipped with four sample holders, enabling simultaneous testing of four specimens. Driven by a motor, the connecting disc drives the weighted friction device to perform reciprocating friction movements on the specimens, causing pilling or abrasion on the specimen surface. This instrument is used to evaluate the abrasion resistance, pilling resistance performance of specimens under a specific pressure, and assess the grade of the tested materials, providing reference data for material selection.
