Carpet Pilling and Fuzzing Tester
Application
The Carpet Pilling and Fuzzing Tester is designed to evaluate the abrasion resistance, wear-and-tear, and appearance changes (pilling/fuzzing) of textiles, carpets, and membrane materials. It simulates the mechanical action that occurs during normal use, providing an accurate measure of product durability and surface integrity.

FAQ
What does the Carpet Pilling and Fuzzing Tester measure?
It measures the propensity of textile and carpet surfaces to develop pilling, fuzzing, or wear marks under simulated real-life conditions.
How does the tester simulate pilling?
A nylon-covered roller moves the sample along a Lissajous curve under a controlled load, generating friction that causes fiber entanglement and pilling.
Can the number of cycles be adjusted?
Yes, the number of cycles is programmable to match the expected real-life usage or standard testing requirements.
What types of materials can be tested?
Loop-pile carpets, woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, and certain membrane materials.
How are the results evaluated?
The surface is visually inspected after testing, and the number of cycles to noticeable pilling or fuzzing is recorded as a measure of durability.
Is this suitable for international quality control?
Yes, it complies with ISO, ASTM, JIS, and other international standards, making it suitable for global product testing and certification.
