STM604
SATRA/Martindale
abrasion machine
This machine is ideal for determining the
abrasion resistance of all types of fabrics
and leather used for footwear,upholstery,
clothing,gloves and many other products.
The Martindale is the internationally-
accepted test standard for wear of fabrics
and it is also used for determining the
susceptibility of fabrics to pilling.
The STM 604 can also be used for
testing the abrasion resistance of rubber
gloves,plastic and rubber coated fabrics
by substituting the standard abradant
with a grit paper.
The machine can also be used for
soiling test for light coloureds materials.
A specially inked fabric replaces the
standard abradant for this test.
The STM 604 can be used to carry
out tests to the following standards:
SATRA TM31
EN ISO12947
BS 5690
BS 3424:Method 27A
EN ISO20344:6.12
BSEN 388:1994
Marks & Spencer P.19
The machine requires bench space of 800mm wide,600mm deep and 350mm high.
An initial amount of the standard abrasive fabric is supplied with the machine.
Full instructions are supplied. The machine is fitted with SMARTDrive,which is a new concept in machine drive and control.See page 117 for further details
