*The Martindale is a unit for quantifying the abrasion resistance of textiles, especially when used for upholstery.  Also known as the Martindale rub test, simulates natural wear of a seat cover, in which the textile sample is rubbed against a standard abrasive surface with a specified force.   Test ends when 2 threads are worn so much that they break in two.
