English to French Science Textiles / Clothing / Fashion textiles
MARTINDALE
It determines the abrasion resistance of a fabric,
part of a protection garment – according to
ISO EN 530 Norm.
The determination of the abrasion resistance uses
in a conventional manner and produces a disk of
material with a diameter of 38 mm.
This is convenient in case that only has to be determined the loss of the finish
or appearance, or the whist or volume by the abrasion and needs only a small
quantity of material to be tested

(should be) twist in English ; torsion en français

Voici des liens pour cette machine Martindale. Le mot que vous cherchez doit être "twist", c'est une machine pour tester le volume ou la torsion des fils dans une étoffe.

En effet, je trouve que le texte est très mal écrit, ça doit être une traduction vers l\'anglais que vous devez traduire vers le français.
