Summary of Test Method4.1 Aspecimen is abraded using rotary rubbing action undercontrolled conditions of pressure and abrasive action. The testspecimen, mounted on a turntable platform, turns on a
11、 verticalaxis, against the sliding rotation of two abrading wheels. Oneabrading wheel rubs the specimen outward toward the periph-ery and the other, inward toward the center. The resultingabrasion marks form a pattern of crossed arcs over an area ofapproximately 30 cm2. Resistance to abrasion is eva
12、luated byvarious means which are described in Section 13.5. Significance and Use5.1 The measurement of the resistance to abrasion of textileand other materials is very complex.

16、 theDevelopment of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.1is affected by many factors, such as the inherent mechanicalproperties of the fibers; the dimensions of the fibers; thestructure of the yarns; th
17、e construction of the fabrics; and thetype, kind, and amount of finishing material added to the fibers,yarns, or fabric.5.2 The resistance to abrasion is also greatly affected by theconditions of the tests, such as the nature of abradant, variableaction of the abradant over the area of specimen abra
18、ded, thetension of the specimen, the pressure between the specimenand abradant, and the dimensional changes in the specimens.5.3 Abrasion tests are all subject to variation due to changesin the abradant during specific tests. The abradant mustaccordingly be discarded at frequent intervals or checked
19、periodically against a standard. With disposable abradants, theabradant is used only once or discarded after limited use. Withpermanent abradants that use hardened metal or equivalentsurfaces, it is assumed that the abradant will not changeappreciably in a specific series of tests. Similar abradants
20、 usedin different laboratories will not change at the same rate, due todifferences in usage. Permanent abradants may also change dueto pick up of finishing or other material from test fabrics andmust accordingly be cleaned at frequent intervals. The mea-surement of the relative amount of abrasion ma
21、y also beaffected by the method of evaluation and may be influenced bythe judgment of the operator.5.4 The resistance of textile materials to abrasion as mea-sured on a testing machine in the laboratory is generally onlyone of several factors contributing to wear performance ordurability as experien
22、ced in the actual use of the material.While “abrasion resistance” (often stated in terms of thenumber of cycles on a specified machine, 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 i
23、n use, including the effects of abrasion) arefrequently related, the relationship varies with different enduses, and different factors may be necessary in any calculationof predicted durability from specific abrasion data. Laboratorytests may be reliable as an indication of relative end-useperforman
24、ce in cases where the difference in abrasion resis-tance of various materials is large, but they should not be reliedupon where differences in laboratory test findings are small. Ingeneral, they should not be relied upon for prediction of actualwear-life in specific end uses unless there are data sh
25、owing thespecific relationship between laboratory abrasion tests andactual wear in the intended end-use.5.5 These general observations apply to all types of fabrics,including woven, nonwoven, and knit apparel fabrics, house-hold fabrics, industrial fabrics, and floor coverings. It is notsurprising,
26、therefore, to find that there are many different typesof abrasion testing machines, abradants, testing conditions,testing procedures, methods of evaluation of abrasion resis-tance and interpretation of results.5.6 All the test procedures and instruments that have beendeveloped for abrasion resistanc
27、e of fabrics may show a highdegree of variability in results obtained by different operatorsand in different laboratories, however, they represent theprocedures most widely used in the industry. Because there isa definite need for measuring the relative resistance toabrasion, this is one of the seve
28、ral procedures that is useful tohelp minimize the inherent variation in results that may occur.5.7 Before definite predictions of fabric usefulness can bedrawn from an abrasion test as made on the rotary platform,double-head (RPDH) abrader (Fig. 1), actual end-use trialsshould be conducted and relat
29、ed to the abrasion test. Differenttypes of wear (for example, wear on mens clothing at cuffs,crotch, etc.) may correspond to different ratings of the RPDHtest.5.8 In making a comparison of different fabrics (that is, ofdifferent fibers, weights, etc.) the RPDH test will not alwaysreveal a difference
30、 known to exist when the fabrics are actuallyused. Therefore, end-use trials should be conducted in conjunc-tion with the RPDH abrasion test, at least as a guide for futuretesting of these fabrics.5.9 Uncontrolled manufacturing or finishing variations oc-curring within a fabric or within lots of the
31、 same style of fabriccan, however, be detected satisfactorily with the RPDH tester.5.10 Because of the conditions mentioned above, techni-cians frequently fail to get good agreement between resultsobtained on the same type of testing instrument both within andbetween laboratories, and the precision
32、of these test methods isuncertain. This test method is accordingly not recommendedfor acceptance testing in contractual agreements betweenpurchaser and supplier because of the poor between-laboratoryprecision of the test method.5.11 If there are differences of practical significance be-tween reporte
33、d 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 used are to be ashomogeneous as possible, drawn from the material from whichthe disparate
34、 test results were obtained, and randomly assignedin equal numbers to each laboratory for testing. The test resultsfrom the two laboratories should be compared using a statis-tical test for unpaired data, at a probability level chosen priorto the testing series. If bias is found, either its cause mu
35、st befound and corrected, or future test results must be adjusted inconsideration of the known bias.6.
