Product Information:

This instrument is used to evaluate the pilling and tufting performance of carpets during use and is suitable for all loop-pile textile floor coverings.

Testing Method

The carpet abrasion resistance tester consists of two test chambers with movable cubic-shaped covers. Each test chamber tests two carpet samples, which are fixed to the cover surface with double-sided tape. Two weighted rubber tubes are placed in each test chamber, and then the cover is closed. The test chambers rotate at a speed of 50 revolutions per minute until the preset number of revolutions is reached, with the rotation direction changing periodically.

Features and Advantages

• PLC-controlled Rotation Direction: The rotation direction is controlled by a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), ensuring precise and reliable operation.
• Compact and Easy-to-use Rotating Test Chambers: The rotating test chambers are designed to be compact and easy to open and close, facilitating the loading and unloading of samples.
• Preset Counter for Setting Revolution Numbers: A preset counter allows users to set the desired number of revolutions, enabling accurate and consistent testing.
• Eight Weighted Rubber Tubes Provided: The device comes with eight weighted rubber tubes, ensuring uniform pressure application during testing.
• Acrylic Safety Shield for Visibility and Safety: An acrylic safety shield provides clear visibility of the test chambers while ensuring the safety of operators.
• Optional Operating Display for Instrument Status: An optional accessory operating display shows the status of the instrument in an illustrative manner, providing real-time feedback to users.
• Testing Standard: IWS TM 253
