FAQ
What does the Carpet Abrasion Resistance Tester measure?
It measures pilling, tufting, and abrasion resistance of loop-pile carpets under controlled conditions.
How many samples can be tested at once?
Each of the two test chambers can accommodate two carpet samples, for a total of four samples per test cycle.
How is the test performed?
Carpet samples are affixed to the test chamber covers with double-sided tape, weighted rubber tubes are applied, and the chamber rotates at a controlled speed and direction until the preset number of revolutions is completed.
Why is PLC control important?
PLC control ensures precise timing and periodic rotation direction changes, improving reproducibility and reliability of test results.
What safety features are included?
Acrylic safety shields provide clear visibility while protecting operators from moving components.
Can the number of revolutions be customized?
Yes, the tester has a preset counter that allows users to set the desired number of revolutions for each test.
What types of carpets can be tested?
The tester is suitable for all loop-pile textile floor coverings, including commercial and residential carpets.
