15、e specimen outward toward the periphery and the other, inward toward the center. The resulting abrasionmarks form a pattern of crossed arcs over an area of approximately 30 cm2. Resistance to abrasion is evaluated by visual inspectionof damage to the specimen or change in weight, as described in Sec
16、tion 14.5. Significance and Use5.1 The resistance of leather to abrasion, as measured on a testing machine in the laboratory, is generally only one of severalfactors contributing to wear performance or durability as experienced in the actual use of the material. While “abrasion resistance”(often sta
17、ted in terms of the number of abrasion cycles) and “durability” (defined as the ability to withstand deterioration or wearout in use, including the effects of abrasion) are frequently related, the relationship varies with different end uses and differentfactors may be necessary in any calculation of
18、 predicted durability from specific abrasion data. This test method provides acomparative ranking of material performance, which can be used as an indication of relative end-use performance.5.2 The resistance of leather to abrasion may be affected by factors including test conditions, type of abrada
19、nt, pressure betweenthe specimen and abradant, mounting or tension of the specimen, and type, kind, or amount of finishing materials.5.3 Abrasion tests utilizing the rotary platform, double-head tester platform abraser may be subject to variation due to changesin the abradant during specific tests.
20、Depending on abradant type and test specimen, the wheel surface may change (that is, becomeclogged) due to the pick up of finishing or other materials from test specimens and must be cleanedresurfaced at regularly definedintervals.5.4 The measurement of the relative amount of abrasion may also be af
21、fected by the method of evaluation and may be influencedby the judgment of the operator.6.

If using a weight loss method of evaluation and a mounting card, the mounting cardsshould be conditioned in the standard testing environment before use (see Section 1
39、2).7. Sampling7.1 Take a lot sample as described in Practice D2813, or as agreed upon by the interested parties. Because leather is a naturalproduct, the physical properties may vary depending on location on the hide, side or skin from which the test sample is taken.Random sampling of specimens from
40、 a predefined location and orientation minimizes test bias and variability.8. Number and Preparation of Test Specimens8.1 If the number of specimens to be tested is not specified by agreement between the interested parties, test three specimens.8.2 Cut a circular specimen approximately 100 to 110 mm
41、 in diameter, with a 6.35 mm diameter hole in the center of thespecimen. A sample cutter or die may be used for this purpose.8.2 Clean the back of the specimen with a soft bristle brush to remove any loose debris. Mount specimen to a roundspecimen-mounting card (such as S-36-1), ensuring that the sp
42、ecimen is free of folds, creases, or wrinkles.Avoid getting oil, water,grease, and so forth, on the specimen when handling.Using shears or an appropriate sample cutter, cut the specimen to size. Punchor cut a 6.5 mm diameter hole in the center of the specimen.8.2.1 When using a specimen mounting car
43、d, cut a circular specimen approximately 100 to 110 mm in diameter. Clean the backof the specimen with a soft bristle brush to remove any loose debris. Mount specimen to a round specimen-mounting card (suchas S-36-1), ensuring that the specimen is free of folds, creases, or wrinkles.8.2.2 Alternativ

45、 so forth, on the specimen when handling.9. Preparation of Apparatus9.1 LoadA load of 1000 g per wheel should be used, unless otherwise agreed upon by the interested parties.9.2 Vacuum Pickup NozzleThe height of the vacuum pickup nozzle should be set 7 6 1 mm above the specimen surface,unless otherw
46、ise agreed upon by the interested parties.9.3 Vacuum SuctionThe vacuum suction force should be adjusted to lift the abraded particles, but not lift the specimen. Whenthe suction nozzles are in position, the air pressure in the suction device shall be within the range stated in 11.1.5. A setting of 7
47、5- 100 has been found to be sufficient and should be used, unless otherwise agreed upon by the interested parties.NOTE 5Vacuum suction force may be influenced by the condition of the collection bag, which must be emptied or replaced on a regular basis. Anyconnection or seal leaks will also influence
