Fabric Abrasion Tester
Application
The Fabric Abrasion Tester evaluates the wear resistance and durability of fabrics by simulating tangential friction on the sample surface. It is widely used in textiles, automotive interiors, and materials research to determine appearance changes, surface wear, and overall fabric performance. The instrument is suitable for woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, coated fabrics, and nonwoven fabrics. It helps in quality control, product development, and performance verification for textiles used in automotive, furniture, and apparel applications.
