Application
The VIT 211 Pilliscope Assessment Viewer is designed for evaluating fabric pilling, ensuring accurate assessments against control fabrics or photographic standards. This viewer is compatible with multiple test methods, including Martindale Pilling, Random Tumble Pilling, ICI Pilling, ICI Snagging, and Brush/Sponge Pilling.
Why Evaluate Fabric Pilling?
Fabric pilling assessment is essential due to its susceptibility to influence from colors, construction, lighting, and the optical environment. Standardized visual evaluations ensure consistency, enabling objective comparisons based on different test methods and standards.
Standard Sample Comparisons:
Pilling evaluation uses standard sample antitheses, comparing extracted characteristic parameters such as pilling density, total pilled area, and maximum pill diameter. These parameters align closely with measured pilling grades, ranging from level 1 to level 5.
ASTM Standard Samples:
The ASTM standard includes five distinct sample sets for various pilling methods, such as brush pilling, random tumbling, elastic packing box, and the Martindale method. Each set provides standardized samples from grade 1 (severe pilling) to grade 5 (no pilling), with light and shadow effects enhancing visibility of pill formations.
