9、terminology related to textiles, refer toTerminology D123.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Abrasion resistance is measured by subjecting the speci-men to unidirectional rubbing action under known conditionsof pressure, tension, and abrasive action. Resistance to abra-sion is evaluated by various means w
10、hich are described inSection 12.5. Significance and Use5.1 The measurement of the resistance to abrasion of textileand other materials is very complex. The resistance to abrasionis affected by many factors, such as the inherent mechanicalproperties of the fibers; the dimensions of the fibers; thestr
11、ucture of the yarns; the 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 th
12、e area of specimen abraded, thetension of the specimen, the pressure between the specimenand abradant, and the dimensional changes in the specimen.1This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D13 on Textilesand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D13.60 on Fabric Test Method

15、est Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959. United States15.3 Abrasion tests are all subject to variation due to changesin the abradant during specific tests. The abradant mustaccordingly be changed at frequent intervals or checkedperiodically against a standard. With disposable abradants, theabradant is used
16、only once or changed 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, but obviously similarabradants used in different laboratories will not likely change atthe same rat
17、e due to differences in usage. Permanent abradantsmay also change due to pick up of finishing or other materialfrom test fabrics and must accordingly be cleaned at frequentintervals. The measurement of the relative amount of abrasionmay also be affected by the method of evaluation and may beinfluenc
18、ed by the 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 experienced in the actual use of the material.While “abrasion resistance
19、” (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 in use, including the effects of abrasion) arefrequently related,
20、 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-useperformance in cases where the difference in abrasion resis-tance of vari
21、ous 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 showing thespecific relationship between laboratory abrasion tests
22、 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, therefore, to find that there are many different typesof abrasio
23、n testing machines, abradants, testing conditions,testing procedures, methods of evaluation of abrasionresistance, 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 oper
24、ators and in different labora-tories; however, they represent the methods now most widelyin use. This test method provides a comparative measurementof the resistance of woven textile fabrics to abrasion, and maynot necessarily predict the actyal performance of fabrics inactual use.5.7 If there are d
25、ifferences of practical significance betweenreported test results for two or more laboratories, comparativetests should be performed to determine if there is a statisticalbias between them, using competent statistical assistance. As aminimum, test samples that are as homogeneous as possible,drawn fr
26、om the material from which the disparate test resultswere obtained, and randomly assigned in equal numbers toeach laboratory for testing. The test results from the twolaboratories should be compared using a statistical test forunpaired data, at a probability level chosen prior to the testingseries.
27、If bias is found, either its cause must be found andcorrected, or future test results must be adjusted in consider-ation of the known bias.6.
