Summary of Test4.1 A specimen is mounted in a holder and abraded uni-formly in all directions i
11、n the plane and about every point ofthe surface of the specimen. The settings of the instrument,method of mounting specimens, conditions of test (conditionedor wet), and criteria to be used in evaluating abrasive wear inthe test, depend upon the nature of the specimen to be testedand the use to be m
12、ade of the test results. Abrasion resistancefor wear is evaluated by one or more conditions of destruction,a defined surface damage, loss in the mass, strength orthickness of test specimens, or by increased weakness in thesample as shown by a subsequent test by another method,depending on the materi

The resistance to abrasion is affected bymany factors that include the inherent mechanical properties ofthe f
17、ibers; the dimensions of the fibers; the structure of theyarns; the construction of the fabrics; the type, kind, amount oftreatment added to the fibers, yarns or fabric; the nature of theabradant; the tension on the specimen; the pressure between thespecimen and the abradant; and the dimensional cha
18、nges in thespecimen. Experience has shown in many instances, thatrelative results obtained with this instrument when used on aseries of fabrics, agreed with those obtained based uponperformance in end use. However, caution is advised becauseanomalous results may occur due to uncontrolled factors inm
19、anufacturing or other processes. Specific instances have beendescribed.4,5,6,7In any event, anomalous results should bestudied to further understand the complex behavior that mayoccur as a result of abrasion that may in turn assist in thedevelopment of more durable fabrics.5.2 Testing some specimens
20、 under “wet” conditions can addanother dimension to the evaluation of some textiles. Suchtesting under “wet” conditions can help ascertain the effect ofchanges in a fabrics resistance to abrasion when it becomeswet. This test can also increase the uniformity of the abradingaction by washing away abr
21、asion debris and preventing thebuild up of broken fibers that can interfere with the properprogression of the tests.5.3 This test is used as a guide in evaluating textiles inquality control and in research.5.3.1 If there are differences of practical significance be-tween reported test results for tw
22、o 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 should be used thatare as homogenous as possible, that are drawn from thematerial from which the disparate tes
23、t results were obtained,and that are randomly assigned in equal numbers to eachlaboratory for testing. Other fabrics with established test valuesmay be used for this purpose. The test results from the twolaboratories should be compared using a statistical test forunpaired data, at a probability leve
24、l chosen prior to the testingseries. If a bias is found, either a cause must be found andcorrected, or future test results must be adjusted in consider-ation of the known bias.5.4 This test is unique and is significantly different from anyother existing abrading test.5.5 This guide may also be used
25、as a technique for pretreat-ing material for subsequent testing. For example, a predeter-mined number of abrasion cycles at specified test conditionsmay be performed on a series of specimens, which are thensubjected to a strength or barrier performance test.5.6 The resistance of textile materials to
26、 abrasion as mea-sured by this guide does not include all the factors whichaccount for wear performance or durability in actual use. Whilethe “abrasion resistance” stated in terms of the number ofcycles and “durability” (defined as the ability to withstanddeterioration or wearing out in use, includi
27、ng the effects ofabrasion) are frequently related. The relationship varies withdifferent end uses, and different factors may be necessary inany calculation of predicted durability from specific abrasiondata.5.6.1 Laboratory tests may be reliable as an indication ofrelative end-use suitability in cas
28、es where the difference inabrasion resistance of various materials is large, but theyshould not be relied upon for prediction of performance duringactual wear life for specific end uses unless there are datashowing the specific relationship between laboratory abrasiontests and actual wear in the int
29、ended end use.5.7 The pressure and tension used is varied, depending onthe mass and nature of the material and the end use application.Whenever possible all materials that are to be compared witheach other should be tested under the same pressure andtension.5.8 When abrasion tests are continued to t
30、otal destruction,abrasion resistance comparisons are not practical for fabricshave a different mass because the change in abrasion resistanceis not directly proportional to the change in the fabric mass.5.9 All the guides and instruments that have been developedfor abrasion resistance may show a hig
31、h degree of variability inresults obtained by different operators and in different labora-tories; however, they represent the methods most widely usedin the industry. Because there is a definite need for measuringthe relative resistance to abrasion, this is one of the severalstandardized guides and
32、methods that is useful to help mini-mize the inherent variation in results that may occur.6. Apparatus and Materials6.1 The Uniform Abrasion Tester8, shown in Figs. 1 and 2,consists of an abrading mechanism, specimen supportingmechanism, and driving mechanism. Essentially, the surface ofthe abradant
33、 lies in a plane parallel to the surface supportingthe specimen and presses upon the specimen. The abradant andspecimen rotate in the same direction at very nearly but notquite the same angular velocity (250 rpm) on noncoaxial axeswhich are parallel to within 0.0025 mm (0.0001 in.).6.1.1 The small d
34、ifference in speed is to permit each part ofthe specimen to come in contact with a different part of theabradant at each rotation. Each rotation is equivalent to onecycle.6.1.2 The abrading mechanism consists of the abradantmounted at the lower end of a shaft, weights placed on theupper end of the s

Acounterweight for balancing the abradant and abradant shaft isneeded when tests are to be carried out at low pressure.6.1.2.1 Weights, in incremen
39、ts of 500 g (1 lb) that arecapable of providing up to a total of 5 kg (10 lb) to thespecimen in pressure. Individual weight tolerances are 61%.6.1.3 The specimen-supporting mechanism provides fortension mounting of thinner, more flexible materials and rigidmounting of thick, stiff materials. For the

A conical clamp seat, fitted to the shaft, rotates with itbut is free to move verticall

The specimen clampshown unassembled in Fig. 3 fits on the seat (C, Fig. 3) and canbe fastened to it by merely rotating it slightly to engage the twopins in the slots. The clamp and specimen assembly can beremoved quickly for e

When the clamp seat is lowered by turning the cam,the combined mass of the clamp seat and specimen clamp issuspended by the specimen over the presser foot. This placesthe specimen under constant t

Different tensions maybe applied to the specimen by changing the mass of the clampseat, for example, by adding auxiliary weights as in 6.1.2.1.

A thickness gage (I, Fig. 2), when specified, isavailable

Aspring steel blade abradant (B, Fig. 3), which is essentiallyconstant in its action for a long period of use, shall be used forwoven, felted, pile, and knitted fabrics and a cross-cut tungstentool steel blade

It is assumed that the abradant will notchange appreciably in a specific series of tests, but obviouslysimilar abradants used in different laboratories will not likelychange at the same rate due to differences in usage. Permanentabradants may also change due to pick-up of treatments orother material from test fabrics and must accordingly becleaned at frequent intervals. Consequently, depending upon itsusage, the abradant must be checked periodically against astandard.6.1.6.2 Acetone, or other appropriate solvent to cl
