Significance and Use5.1 This test method is not recommended for acceptancetesting of commercial shipments because information onbetween-laboratory precision is known to be poor.5.1.1 If there are differences of
17、practical significance be-tween reported test results for two laboratories (or more),comparative tests should be performed to determine if there isa statistical bias between them, using competent statisticalassistance. As a minimum, the test samples to be used are ashomogenous as possible, are drawn
18、 from the material fromwhich the disparate test results were obtained, and are ran-domly assigned in equal numbers to each laboratory for testing.Other fabrics with established test values may be used for thispurpose. The test results from the two laboratories should becompared using a statistical t
19、est for unpaired data, at aprobability level chosen prior to the testing series. If a bias isfound, either its cause must be found and corrected, or futuretest results must be adjusted in consideration of the knownbias.5.2 The measurement of the resistance to abrasion of textilefabrics is very compl
20、ex. The resistance to abrasion is affectedby many factors that include the inherent mechanical propertiesof the fibers; the dimensions of the fibers; the structure of theyarns; the construction of the fabrics; the type, kind, andamount of treatment added to the fibers, yarns, or fabric; thenature of
21、 the abradant; the variable action of the abradant overthe specimen area abraded; the tension on the specimen; thepressure between the specimen and the abradant; and thedimensional changes in the specimen.5.3 The measurement of the relative amount of abrasion canbe affected by the method of evaluati
22、on and is often influencedby the judgment of the operator. It is recognized that with thistest method other means of evaluation besides cycles to ruptureand breaking strength have been used by the industry, such ascolor change, appearance change, and so forth. Experience hasshown these to be highly
23、variable parameters and they are notrecommended without exact criteria identified in an applicablematerial specification or contract. Consequently, the criteria ofbreaking strength and cycles to rupture are the recommendedmeans of evaluation because they are considered the leastvariable and interlab
24、oratory agreement is likely to be obtainedmore easily.5.4 Abrasion tests are subject to variations due to changes inthe abradant bar during specific tests. The abradant bar isconsidered a permanent abradant that uses a hardened metalsurface. It is assumed that the abradant will not changeappreciably
25、 in a specific series of tests, but obviously similarabradants used in different laboratories will not likely change atthe same rate due to differences in usage. Permanent abradantsmay also change due to pickup of treatments or other materialfrom test fabrics and must accordingly be cleaned at frequ
26、entintervals. Consequently, depending upon its usage, the abrad-ant bar must be checked periodically against a standard.5.5 The resistance of textile materials to abrasion as mea-sured by this test method does not include all the factors whichaccount for wear performance or durability in actual use.
27、 Whilethe abrasion resistance stated in terms of the number of cyclesand durability (defined as the ability to withstand deteriorationor wearing out in use, including the effects of abrasion) arefrequently related, the relationship varies with different enduses. Different factors may be necessary in
28、 any calculation ofpredicted durability from specific abrasion data.5.5.1 Laboratory tests may be reliable as an indication ofrelative end use in cases where the difference in abrasionresistance of various materials is large, but they should not berelied upon where differences in laboratory test fin
29、dings aresmall. In general, the results should not be relied upon forprediction of performance during actual wear life for specificend uses unless there are data showing the specific relationshipbetween laboratory abrasion tests and actual wear in theintended end use.5.6 This test method is useful f
30、or pretreating material forsubsequent testing for strength or barrier performance.5.7 The pressure and tension used is varied, depending onthe mass and nature of the material and the end-use application.Whenever possible, all materials that are to be compared witheach other should be tested under th
31、e same pressure andtension.5.8 When abrasion tests are continued to total destruction,abrasion resistance comparisons are not practical for fabricshaving a different mass because the change in abrasionresistance is not directly proportional to the change in thefabric mass.5.9 All the test methods an
32、d instruments that have beendeveloped for abrasion resistance may show a high degree ofvariability in results obtained by different operators and indifferent laboratories, however, they represent the methodsmost widely used in the industry. Because there is a definiteneed for measuring the relative
33、resistance to abrasion, this testmethod is one of several standardized test methods that isuseful to help minimize the inherent variation that may occurin results.5.10 These general observations apply to most fabrics,including woven and nonwoven fabrics that are used inautomotive, household, and wea
