Instrument for Evaluating Carpet Pilling and Tufting Performance

This instrument is designed to assess the pilling and tufting performance of carpets during use and is suitable for all circular-woven floor coverings.

Test Method
The carpet abrasion resistance tester includes two cubic-shaped test chambers with removable covers. Each chamber evaluates two carpet samples, which are fixed to the cover surface using double-sided tape. Two weighted rubber tubes are placed inside each chamber, followed by closing the lid. The chambers rotate at 50 revolutions per minute (RPM) until a preset rotation count is reached, with the rotation direction changing periodically.
