Pilling Tester

Pilling Tester is designed to test the pilling (hair ball) characteristic of fabric and knit fabric cloths. Pilling is a fabric surface fault characterized by little pills of entangled fibers clinging to the surface. Pills are formed during wearing or washing, by the entanglement of the loose fibers, which protrude from fabric surface.
Digital Pilling Tester is used to check the pilling resistance of the fabric. To determine the tendency to form pills, test specimens taken from the fabric sample are rubbed against each other under controlled conditions. Digital Pilling Tester is of fine quality and gives optimum performance. Simulating the conditions of weaving materials being worn, it gives the appearance of lint. After rolling the specimen around a rubber tube and turning in a winding box for a period of time, it is then compared to a standard picture to determine its grade. Test results are usually determined after comparing with standard pictures, the average of four tests per specimen.
