Testing Principle
-
Sample Preparation:
-
Fabric sample sewn into a bag containing a steel-ball-filled “bean bag.”
-
-
Testing Process:
-
Secured pillow tumbles 360° inside a needle-lined cylinder (100 rotations typical).
-
-
Result Assessment:
-
Post-test evaluation of snag resistance (e.g., pilling rating).
-
Key Benefits
-
Reliability:
Microprocessor-controlled process ensures stable, repeatable results. -
Longevity:
Scratch-resistant hardened surface extends service life. -
Safety:
Enclosed drum design protects operators during testing.
