Test Principle of Martindale Abrasion Tester
Place the test sample in the fixture of the abrasion tester, by giving the test sample a 9kpa prescribed pressure to make it run on the running trajectory of the LISSJOUS chart it carry out cyclic plane motion friction on the standard abrasive cloth, and after a certain number of friction times, evaluate the breakage cycle of the test sample.
