Summary of Test Method4.1 Abrasion resistance is measured by subjecting the speci-men to rubbing motion in the form o
10、f a geometric figure, thatis, a straight line, which becomes a gradually widening ellipse,until it forms another straight line in the opposite direction andtraces the same figure again under known conditions ofpressure and abrasive action. Resistance to abrasion is evalu-ated by various means which
11、are described in Section 11.5. Significance and Use5.1 Acceptance Testingthis test method is not consideredsatisfactory for acceptance testing of commercial shipments offabric. The between-laboratory precision of this test method ispoor and, because of the nature of abrasion testing itself,technicia

Competent statis-tical assistance is recommended for the investigation of bias.As a minimum, the two parties should take a group
17、 of testspecimens that are as homogeneous as possible and that arefrom a lot of material of the type in question. The testspecimens then should be assigned randomly in equal numbersto each laboratory for testing. The average results from the twolaboratories should be compared using Students t-test f
18、orunpaired data and an acceptable probability level chosen by thetwo parties before the testing is begun. If a bias is found, eitherits cause must be found and corrected or the purchaser and thesupplier must agree to interpret future test results in light of theknown bias.5.2 The resistance to abras
19、ion also is affected greatly by theconditions of the tests, such as the nature of abradant; variableaction of the abradant over the area of specimen abraded, thetension on the specimen, the pressure between the specimenand abradant, and the dimensional changes in the specimen.5.3 Abrasion tests are
20、all subject to variation due to changesin the abradant during specific tests. The abradant must bechanged accordingly at frequent intervals or checked periodi-cally against a standard. With disposable abradants, theabradant is used only once or changed after limited use. Withpermanent abradants that
21、 use hardened metal or equivalentsurfaces, it is assumed that the abradant will not changeappreciably 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 abradantsalso may change du
22、e to pick up of finishing or other materialfrom test fabrics and must accordingly be cleaned at frequentintervals. The measurement of the relative amount of abrasionalso may be affected by the method of evaluation and may beinfluenced by the judgment of the operator.5.4 The resistance of textile mat
23、erials to abrasion as mea-sured on a testing machine in the laboratory is generally onlyone of several factors contributing to wear performance ordurability as experienced in the actual use of the material.While “abrasion resistance” (often stated in terms of thenumber of cycles on a specified machi
24、ne, using a specifiedtechnique to produce a specified degree or amount of abrasion)and “durability” (defined as the ability to withstand deteriora-tion or wearing out in use, including the effects of abrasion)frequently are related, the relationship varies with different enduses, and different facto
25、rs may be necessary in any calculationof predicted durability from specific abrasion data.5.4.1 Laboratory tests may be reliable as an indication ofrelative end-use performance in cases where the difference inabrasion resistance of various materials is large, but theyshould not be relied upon where
26、differences in laboratory testfindings are small. In general, they should not be relied uponfor prediction of actual wear-life in specific-end uses unlessthere are data showing the specific relationship betweenlaboratory abrasion tests and actual wear in the intendedend-use.5.5 These general observa
27、tions apply to all types of fabrics,including woven, nonwoven, and knit apparel fabrics, house-hold fabrics, industrial fabrics, and floor coverings. It is notsurprising, therefore, to find that there are many different typesof abrasion testing machines, abradants, testing conditions,testing procedu
28、res, methods of evaluation of abrasion resis-tance, and interpretation of results.5.6 All the test methods and instruments so far developedfor abrasion resistance may show a high degree of variability inresults obtained by different operators and in different labora-tories; however, they represent t
29、he methods now most widelyin use.5.7 Since there is a definite need for measuring the relativeresistance to abrasion, standardized test methods are desirableand useful and may clarify the problem and lessen theconfusion.6.

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
34、 be theprimary sampling unit.NOTE 2An adequate specification or other agreement between thepurchaser and the supplier requires taking into account the variabilitybetween rolls, bolts, or pieces of fabric and among specimens from aswatch from a roll of fabric from a roll, bolt, or piece, or among car
35、tonsof garments and among garments within a carton, to provide a samplingplan with a meaningful producers risk, consumers risk, acceptablequality level, and limiting quality level.7.2 Laboratory SampleFor acceptance testing of gar-ments, take one garment from each carton (see Note 2).7.3 Test Specim
36、ensCut three circular specimens fromeach swatch in the laboratory sample with each specimen being1.5 in. (38 mm) in diameter.8. Preparation of Apparatus8.1 For the assembly, maintenance, and verification of theapparatus, refer to the manufacturers instructions.8.2 See the testing notes given in A1.1
37、.9. Conditioning9.1 Precondition and condition specimens as directed inPractice D1776 by bringing them to approximate moistureequilibrium for testing in the standard atmosphere for testing.Equilibrium is considered to have been reached when theincrease in mass of the specimen in successive weighings
38、 madeat intervals of not less than 2 h does not exceed 0.1 % of themass of the specimen.9.2 Place the conditioned specimens in the standard atmo-sphere for testing textiles, which is 70 6 2F (21 6 1C) and65 6 2 % relative humidity for at least 4 h before testing.10. Procedure10.1 Make all tests in t
39、he standard atmosphere for testing.10.2 On each testing table place a piece of felt, approxi-mately 5.5 in. (140 mm), followed by a piece of the standardfabric of the same size. Place the mounting weight (suppliedwith the machine) on the table to flatten the fabric/felt pieces.Secure the fabric/felt
40、 to the table with the mounting weight inplace then remove the weight and inspect for tucks or ridges. Ifnecessary, repeat the mounting process.10.3 Option 3 (see 11.3) is to be used to interpret the results,weigh a specimen to the nearest milligram.10.4 Assemble the holder by placing the specimen f
41、acedown into the specimen holder. For fabric having a mass/unitarea less than 14.7 yd2(500 g/m2) place a 114-in. (38-mm) diskof polyurethane foam between the specimen and the metalinsert. Assemble the holder according to manufacturers in-structions.10.5 Place the assembled holder on the machine abov
42、e thetable with the fabric/felt pieces and add the required weight togive a pressure on each specimen of 1.31 6 0.03 psi (9 6 0.2kPa) for apparel fabrics and 1.74 6 0.04 psi (12 6 0.3 kPa) forupholstery fabrics.10.6 Using the manufacturers directions, set the countersystem to record the desired rubs
43、 and start the abrasionmachine. If Options 1 or 2 (see 10.1 and 10.2) are to be used,examine the specimen to assess the progress toward theendpoint. As the endpoint is approached, reduce the number ofrubs between examinations. Cut off with sharp scissors anypills that form. If Option 3 (see 11.3) is
44、 to be used to interpretthe results, the specimen must be weighed to the nearestmilligram after the required number of rubs.11. Evaluation11.1 Option 1The end point is reached on a woven fabricwhen two or more yarns have broken, or on a knitted fabricwhen a hole appears.11.2 Option 2The end point is
45、 reached when there is achange in shade or appearance that is sufficient to cause acustomer to complain.11.2.1 Changes of shade can arise from a variety of causes,for example, loss of raised finish from a fabric or of boucleloops or effects from fancy yarns. Where different types offibers are dyed d
46、ifferently in an intimate blend, differential lossof yarn or fiber can cause pronounced changes in shade orappearance. In this case the end point is assessed against theAATCC gray scale for color change.11.2.2 The end point is reached when the shade change isassessed as the AATCC gray scale rating o
47、f 3 or lower.11.3 Option 3Determine the mass loss as the differencebetween the masses before and after abrasion. This loss may beexpressed as a percentage of the before abrasion mass.12. Report12.1 State that the specimens were tested as directed in TestMethod D4966. Describe the material or product
48、 sampled andthe method of sampling used.12.2 Depending on the test option used, report the followinginformation:12.2.1 Type of abradant and the mass of the weights used.12.2.2 For Option 1, the average number of rubs required torupture two or more yarns in a woven fabric or develop a holeon a knitte
49、d fabric.12.2.3 For Option 2, the effect of abrasion on luster, color,napping, pilling, etc. at a given number of rubs, recorded byqualitative or comparative ranking.12.2.4 For Option 2, the average number of rubs required toreach a gray scale rating of three or lower.12.2.5 If any other means of evaluating the effect ofabrasion is used, describe the particular method employed.12.2.6 For Option 3, the mass loss difference before andafter abrasion is reported as weight loss in milligrams or as apercentage calculated by the formula:A 2 B!/A! 3 100 (1)where:A
