3、rrected editorially in April 2006.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the color-fastness of colored leathers, with or without a surface coating.The leathers to be tested are of the type normally expected towithstand frequent laundering. This test method also covers thesimultaneo
4、us staining of adjacent textile materials when theleather specimens are washed. This test method does not applyto wet blue. Two procedures are covered depending on theapparatus used:1.1.1 Procedure A, using the Launder-Ometer,2and1.1.2 Procedure B, using an alternative washing machine.1.2 The values
5、 stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The values stated in parentheses are providedfor information only.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish

Summary of Test Method3.1 Three leather specimens 50 by 80 mm (approximately 2by 3 in.), and one piece of multifiber test fabric of nearly equalsize are washed together in soapy water at 120F (49C). After1
8、2 h of washing, the leather specimens and cloth are removedand rinsed carefully in running water at about 95F (35C).One leather specimen and the test cloth are removed andair-dried. A new piece of test cloth is added to the remainingtwo leather specimens and these are washed, as above, for12 h.The r
9、insing is repeated; again one leather specimen and the testcloth are removed for drying. The remaining leather specimen,with a new piece of test cloth, is washed again for12 h. Thisfinal leather specimen and test cloth are then rinsed and driedas above. When dry, the color of the washed leather spec

These comparisons are madewith the aid of the proper Gray Scale. All ratings are made ondry test specimens.1This test method is under the

Significance and Use4.1 The procedure is intended, primarily to evaluate theability of a leathe
16、r specimen to withstand fixed, and ratherstrenuous, laundering conditions. This test is not intended as arecommended washing procedure, neither household nor com-mercial. Although this test concerns itself with colorfastnessand transfer of color during washing, the washed leatherspecimens are availa
17、ble also for comparing other properties(that is, tensile strength, area change, change in outline, etc.)with those of unwashed samples.5. Apparatus5.1 Washing MachineA Launder-Ometer, or an assemblyof apparatus capable of similar test conditions (Note 1). Ineither machine, 1-pt (500-mL) specimen con
18、tainers are heldwith their bases toward a horizontal shaft and 2-in. (50 mm)out from its center of rotation. Speed of rotation shall be 40 to45 rpm. Provision shall be made for maintaining the initialtemperature of the specimen containers throughout the test.Additional agitation shall be provided by
19、14-in. (6.4 mm)stainless steel balls in the specimen containers.NOTE 1A motor-driven assembly, designed to hold 1-pt (500-mL)specimen containers so that they are relative to the axis of the motor shaftin the same way as in the Launder-Ometer, can be used.5The entireassembly, fitted with specimen con
20、tainers, shall be turned at 40 to 45 rpminside a simple boxlike container which is heated at 120F (49C) withthermostatic control. Thus, heat loss from the preheated contents of thespecimen containers is held at a minimum during the 30-min washingperiods. Such an apparatus is illustrated in Figs. 1 a

Use a blank specimen container(filled with an equivalent weight of water), if necessary, toensure a balanced load on the shaft.8.6 Run the machine for a 30-min interval. Remove andempty the specimen containers in a systematic manner to avoidconfusion in sample identifica
30、tion.8.7 Rinse well the leather specimens and test fabric in clear,running water at about 95F (35C). Squeeze and work the testpieces to ensure the removal of soap and finally to remove allexcess water. Work one leather specimen and the test fabric flatand hang these up to dry at room temperature.8.8
31、 Repeat this procedure, rewashing the remaining twoleather specimens with a new test cloth in 100 mL of soapsolution. After the12-h washing and rinsing as describedabove, remove one leather sample and the test cloth for drying.8.9 Repeat the procedure again,9rewashing for the thirdtime the remaining
32、 leather specimen with a new test cloth in 50mL of soap solution.8.10 When the leather specimens are dry, work them byhand to soften and shape them, to make them approach, as nearas possible, an unwashed specimen in size, shape, and feel.NOTE 3With many samples, this mechanical treatment gives bestr
33、esults when the leather sample is slightly damp.8.11 Evaluate the color of the washed sample by comparingit with the unwashed specimen. Use ISO R105/I, Part 2 (5.5.1)to express the degree of difference (color retention).8.12 Evaluate the staining of the test fabrics by visualinspection or, when requ
34、ired, by means of ISO R103/I, Part 3(5.5.2).9. Procedure BUsing Heated Air Bath Equipment(Optional)9.1 Preheat and adjust the air-bath assembly to maintain thetemperature at 120F (49C).9.2 Add 150 mL of soap solution and twenty stainless steelballs to each specimen container.9.3 Preheat specimen con
35、tainers (containing the above) to122F (50C) with gaskets and covers on top, but not clamped.9.4 Continue the test as outlined in 8.4-8.12.NOTE 4Paragraphs 9.1-9.3 differ from those listed in Section 7,ProcedureA, because an air bath is not as effective as the water bath of theLaunder-Ometer for brin
36、ging the specimen container and its contents tothe required temperature.10.

Precision and Bias11.1 The mathematical and physical
42、data on which the GrayScales are based are described in the reference literature.6Theprecision in estimating the degree of color change or the degreeof staining depends somewhat on the experience of theobserver and the facility with which he can use the GrayScales.11.2 A series of evaluations of col
43、or change by a group ofnonexpert observers indicates that differences greater than oneclass (in the range of Classes 4 and 5) are not probable. In thegeometric scale, the actual difference between Class 4 andClass 5 is very small, and could lead to disagreement.However, the change between Class 5 an
44、d Class 3 is suffi-ciently obvious that the possibility of improper rating of agiven leather sample is remote.12.
