Pilliscope Assessment Viewer - TNG1007

The TNG1007 Pilliscope Assessment Viewer is a viewing cabinet used to assess pilling, snagging, and other surface irregularities on textile materials. It provides a controlled lighting environment to facilitate accurate visual comparison of test specimens with control fabrics or photographs. The instrument is suitable for evaluating results from various pilling tests, including Martindale Pilling, Random Tumble Pilling, ICI Pilling, ICI Snagging, Brush/Sponge Pilling. The observe zone measures 330×150 mm, allowing for detailed inspection of test samples. The TNG1007 complies with the following standards: ASTM D3512, ASTM D4970, and ISO 12945-1/2/3/4. It operates on a power supply of 220/110 V at 50/60 Hz. The instrument is constructed with a length of 340 mm, ensuring a compact and efficient setup for laboratory use.

Pilliscope Assessment Viewer / Viewing cabinet, Suitable for standards where the assessment of pilling on fabrics is necessary, provides a clear viewing light environment where the test specimen being compared against control fabrics or photographs.

The viewer is suitable for the following test result evaluation: Martindale Pilling, Random Tumble Pilling, ICI Pilling, ICI Snagging, Brush/Sponge Pilling.

• Observe zone: 330×150 mm

Why we Need the Evaluation of Fabric Pilling? The assessment result will be largely affected by the test method and the assessment method of pilling. Thanks to the visual evaluation of pilling will be influenced by colors, constructions, lights and optical environment of fabric easily. Therefore, in order to evaluate the specimen of pilling objectively, it uses standard sample antitheses to evaluate the specimen. According to different standards, the sample is different. Standard Sample Antitheses Based on extracting of characteristic parameters to the standard sample and physical samples, the conclusion can be obtained that the pilling number per unit area, the total area of the pilling and maximum diameter were significantly correlated with the pilling grade, and this was consistent with the measured value.
