Random Tumble Pilling Tester
HD-W128-2
Random Tumble Pilling Tester simulates pilling and other changes in surface appearance, such as fuzzing, that occur in normal wear are simulated on a laboratory testing machine. Pills are caused to form on fabric by a random rubbing action produced by tumbling specimens in a cylindrical test chamber lined with a mildly abrasive material. To form pills with appearance and structure that resemble those produced in actual wear, small amounts of short-length gray cotton fiber are added to each test chamber with the specimens. The degree of fabric pilling is evaluated by comparison of the tested specimens with visual standards that may be actual fabrics, or photographs of fabrics, showing a range of pilling resistance. The observed resistance to pilling is reported using an arbitrary rating scale.Random Tumble Pilling Tester is specially designed equipment to determine the pilling and fuzzing characteristics of textile fabrics.Smith Barney Inc. are now able to offer a technically advanced machine that is easy to use and inexpensive to own.
