About Pilling Tester

Pilling is a fabric surface fault characterized by little pills of entangled fibres clinging to the surface. These are formed during wearing or washing by the entanglement of the loose fibres, which protrude from the fabric surface, and development of these into spherical bundles anchored to the fabric by a few unbroken fibres. These give a very unsightly look to the garments.

To determine the tendency to form pills, test specimens taken from the fabric sample are rubbed against each other under controlled conditions and the appearance of the test specimen after rubbing for the specified period is compared against standard rating photographs for grading the fabric under test.

FAQs of Pilling Tester:

Q: How does the Digital Pilling Tester with Display determine pilling resistance in fabrics?

A: The tester simulates fabric abrasion using a balanced rotating motion and standard Martindale methods. Test specimens are subjected to rub cycles against controlled polyurethane foam and fabric, allowing precise measurement of pilling and fuzzing resistance as per ISO and IS standards.

Q: What accessories are included with the pilling tester to facilitate testing?

A: Each unit comes with a set of rubber tubes and templates, as well as standard polyurethane foam and fabric, ensuring that users have the necessary materials to conduct tests according to industry standards.

Q: When should the programmable digital timer be set for testing, and what is its maximum cycle range?

A: The digital timer can be programmed before test initiation and supports up to 9999 cycles, allowing users to customize test duration according to specific fabric requirements or standard procedures.

Q: Where is the Digital Pilling Tester primarily used?

A: This tester is widely used in textile testing laboratories, garment manufacturing industries, and research institutions for quality control and research purposes.

Q: What is the process for preparing and conducting a pilling test using this instrument?

A: Specimens, prepared according to size standards (typically 38 mm diameter), are placed on the test heads. The machine is set to the desired cycle count and speed, after which the rotating drive mechanism initiates controlled abrasion against reference materials.

Q: How does the use of standard Martindale test range benefit textile assessments?

A: Utilizing the Martindale range ensures that test results are reliable, comparable internationally, and compliant with recognized industry standards, aiding manufacturers and researchers in producing high-quality textiles.

Q: What advantages does the powder-coated mild steel construction offer for durability and maintenance?

A: The powder-coated mild steel body provides robust protection against corrosion and wear, making the tester durable and easy to maintain, even in high-usage laboratory environments.
