Sampling7.1 Lot SampleAs a lot sample for acceptance testing,take at random the number of rolls of fabric directed in anapplicable material specification or other agreement betweenthe purchaser and the supplier. Consider rolls of fabric to be theprimary sampling units.7.2 Laboratory SampleAs
23、 a laboratory sample, take fromeach roll of fabric in the lot sample a full width swatch at least500 mm (20 in.) long after removing at least1m(1yd)offabric from the outside of the roll. If the fabric is also to beevaluated after laundering or drycleaning, take a second fullwidth swatch 500 mm (20 i
24、n.) long from each roll of fabric inthe lot sample.7.3 Test SpecimensCut four specimens from each swatchin the laboratory sample as directed in 8.1.8. Specimens and Preparation8.1 Using the template or die specified in 6.2, cut fourspecimens 133 mm (514 in.) in diameter from each laboratorysample. I
25、f a sample is to be evaluated after laundering ordrycleaning, four additional specimens will be taken. (SeeSection 9).8.2 Cut the specimens from each laboratory sample so thateach specimen contains different warp and filling yarns. Twospecimens are to be used to test the face of the sample and twosp
26、ecimens to test the back of the fabric.8.3 Prepare specimen by folding the round specimen twiceand cutting off the pointed tip to produce a 6-mm (14-in.) holein the center of the specimen to accommodate the clampingscrew.8.4 Determine the fabric mass or identify the anticipatedend-use of the sample,
27、 or both, for proper selection of thetesting option.8.5 Prior to testing, ensure the expiration date of theabrasion wheels has not passed for the CS-10 wheels. Followthe manufacturers recommended procedure for breaking innew, or resurfacing and cleaning wheel sets.NOTE 1See detailed instructions on

31、r and supplier.10. Conditioning10.1 Bring the specimens to moisture equilibrium withoutpreconditioning, as directed in Practice D1776.11. Procedure11.1 Test the conditioned specimens in the standard atmo-sphere for testing textiles, which is a temperature of 21 6 1C(70 6 2F) and a relative humidity
32、of 65 6 2%.11.2 Mount the specimen on the holder and attach the clampplate and nut.11.3 Position the clamp ring to a tight fit over the specimenand holder and draw the specimen taut by pressing the holddown ring uniformly over the edge of the holder. When thedesired tension is obtained, tighten the
33、clamp ring screw.Avoidexcessive tightening of the clamp ring screw so as to preventspecimen wrinkling. (Fabrics with stretch yarns are difficult tomount uniformly.)11.4 If the specimen holder is removed to mount or analyzespecimens, prior to testing ensure the holder is properlyreplaced on the drive
34、 shaft of the tester.11.5 Lower the abrading heads carefully onto the surface ofthe specimen.11.6 Lower the suction nozzle and adjust it to 6.35 mm (14in.) above the specimen. Failure to adjust the nozzle to thefabric thickness can cause excess abrasion if the nozzle is lefttoo low.11.7 Adjust the c
35、ontrol between 60 and 100, or to a settinghigh enough to remove abraded particles.11.8 Select the desired number of test cycles and wheelloading as listed in the procedures below:11.8.1 Option A Heavy Duty ProcedureTest two speci-mens on the fabric face for 300 cycles and two specimens onthe back fo
36、r 100 cycles. Use CS-10 wheels with a loading massof 500 g/wheel.11.8.2 Option B Light Duty ProcedureTest two specimenson the fabric face for 300 cycles and two specimens on theback for 50 cycles. Use CS-10 wheels with a loading mass of250 g/wheel. (Each arm minus the auxillary weights equals 250g/w
37、heel.)11.9 After testing, raise wheels and vacuum nozzle thenremove the specimen for grading. If desired, the holder may beremoved from the tester by lifting straight up. This will permita closer inspection of the specimen prior to removal from theholder.NOTE 2For special studies when a transparent
38、platform to thespecimen holder is used, pile loss may be observed over the viewing boxwith the specimen still attached to the transparent holder.12. Evaluation12.1 The operator is to rate all abraded specimens byplacing them, face up, over the lighted viewing box forcomparison with the Photographic
39、Pile Retention Scale. Aviewing angle that is perpendicular to the specimen is to beused. See Fig. 2. In the case of dispute or referee, three ratersshould be used.FIG. 2 Pile Retention Specimen Placement on Viewing BoxD4685 07 (2011)1312.2 The ASTM photographic scale for rating resistance topile ret
40、ention has six levels of pile retention. They are asfollows:5.0Excellent4.0Good3.5Fair to good3.0Fair2.0Poor1.0Very poor12.3 If interpolations are needed in the above list of photo-graphic standards, only half steps may be used. Therefore,ratings are: 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, and 5.0.
41、12.4 Sometimes the photographic rating levels do not com-pare with the wear pattern, the exact type, size and arrangementof pile pull-out in the specimen, but the grade levels can beused as a general rating guide for the population of pile loss.12.5 Color changes, overall abrasion, matting down andf
42、old-over of high pile, and openness of weave should not be afactor in evaluation; only the loss of pile as observed bytransmitted light should be considered.13.

Precision and Bias14.1 SummaryThis test method was dropped from publi-catio
45、n in 1996 in accordance with ASTM policy to dropstandards not reapproved or updated every five years. Textilecompanies relayed their interest and need to have the standardback into official status as this test method was the onlyabrasion method for corduroy and the test method was beingused to evalu
46、ate abrasion for other pile fabrics. Efforts wereundertaken in 2003 to review, revise, and develop a precisionand bias statement for the method to get the standard back intoofficial status.14.2 Intralaboratory Test DataAn intralaboratory studywas undertaken by a textile company in 2004. A total of f
47、ivesamples were selected for the study to represent a range ofweights and number of corduroy wales (pile columns) and toinclude another type of pile fabric, velveteen, that does nothave raised wales which are a distinct physical characteristic ofcorduroy construction. A Taber Abrasion Tester Model 5
48、130was used for testing all specimens. Specimens were taken fromeach sample and randomized for three technicians to performthree tests on both the face and back of each sample. All testswere performed and specimens graded in standard atmospheresfor textile testing according to Practice D1776. Analys
49、is of thedata was conducted using Stat Graphics. Table 1 gives thestandard deviation of all raters for each study sample, Table 2shows the components of variation, and Table 3 presents theanalysis of variance excluding location. The five, 100 % cottonsamples were:Fabric 15.2 oz/yd222 wale corduroyFabric 26.5 oz/yd216 wale corduroyFabric 39.4 oz/yd214 wale corduroyFabric 49.3 oz/yd27 wale corduroyFabric 58.3 oz/yd2velveteen14.3 BiasThe true value of pile retention for pile fabricscan only be defined in terms of a specific test metho
