The Martindale friction Tester is a device used to test the friction resistance of materials. This testing machine is commonly used to evaluate the wear resistance of different materials, including textiles, leather, rubber, coatings, plastics, and more. Friction resistance testing is important for quality control and performance evaluation of materials because it simulates the wear and tear that a material may experience in daily use.
Martindale friction testing machines typically include the following major components and features:
Friction head: A component used to apply friction and come into contact with the material being tested.
Rotating platform: A platform that supports the material being tested and can rotate or move on a flat surface to simulate friction between the material and other surfaces.
Load Cell: Controls the load or pressure exerted on the friction head to simulate stresses under actual usage conditions.
Control system: used to control the operation of the testing machine, including parameters such as applied friction force, test time and speed.
Data recording and analysis system: used to record data during testing, such as friction force, friction coefficient and friction resistance performance indicators, and conduct subsequent data analysis.
This instrument is designed by absorbing the advantages of similar instruments at home and abroad. It has a beautiful appearance and is easy to operate. The microcomputer system adopts two counting methods, which is intuitive and generous, and is easy to set. Eight stations can be tested at the same time to improve test efficiency.
The instrument also has two Lissajous 24mmx24mm and 60.5mmx60.5mm motion trajectories and a variety of supporting accessories, which can adapt to a variety of test method standards.
Tests on the pilling degree of fabrics such as GB/T4802.2, ASTM D4970, ISO12945-2, etc.
GB/T13775, ASTM D4966, ISO12947 and other fabric wear resistance tests.
