ASTM D 123 describes as follows
Abrasion, n---the wearing away of any part of a material by rubbing against another surface.
ASTM also has prescribed several methods to quantify abrasion resistance of textile materials these tests are
ASTM D 4966 -- 98 Standard Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics (Martindale Abrasion Tester Method)
ASTM D 3884 Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics (Rotary Platform, Double-Head Method)3
ASTM D 3885 Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics (Flexing and Abrasion Method)3
ASTM D 3886 Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics (Inflated Diaphragm Method)3
ASTM D 4157 Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics (Oscillatory Cylinder Method)3
ASTM D 4158 Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics (Uniform Abrasion Method)3
AATCC Test Method 93 Abrasion Resistance of Fabrics: Accelerator Method4
In All of the above materials the tested specimen is rubbed is a particular manner against an abradent which may be a fabric, or a emery sheet or like for either a certain amount of time for for a certain number of strokes or cycles.At the end of the testing period , any change that may occur to the tested specimen normally 3 types of changes are looked for
1. Mass Loss
2. Color Change
3. Hole formation or yarn breakage
The Earlier these changes occur the poorer the resistance to abrasion.
Factors loke thickness of fabric, piles, any pretreatment to reduce or increace surface friction , etc all have a profound effect on the Abrasion resistance.
In real life, trousers in case of apparel and Upholstery are subject to more abrasion than fabrics used in any other domestic use. In case of fabrics used for industrial application like belts etc are required to have very high abrasion resistance.

What is abrasion resistance?
abrasion resistance is the resistance in abrasion
What are two words for friction?
Abrasion, Resistance
What is unit of abrasion resistance?
Mohs scale
What are the disadvantages of low carbon steel?
Abrasion resistance is low.
What is the abrasion resistance of marble?
It should be minimum 10 according to ASTM C 503.
What has the author Massud Sadegzadeh written?
Massud Sadegzadeh has written: 'Abrasion resistance of concrete'
How has kevlar been improved over the years?
Kevlar has improved the abrasion resistance, tear strength, modulus, chip resistance and rubber strength.
Is an abrasion an open wound?
Since the typical abrasion affects only the skin, the term "wound" is likely to be considered an exaggeration. Wounds generally are deeper injuries than abrasions.
Is silicon carbide is used for increasing the impact strength of the material?
No. Silicon carbide is used for abrasion resistance and traction.
Does abrasion affect hardness?
No. Steel and mercury are both good conductors (low resistance). Diamond and rubber are both insulators (high resistance).
What were the typical forms of resistance to slavery?
Typical forms of resistance to slavery included running away, rebellion, sabotage, and forming alliances with abolitionist movements. Many slaves also resisted through cultural practices, such as maintaining their own languages, religions, and traditions.
What is textile sizing?
Textile sizing is the process of applying a protective or decorative coating to yarn or fabric to improve its weaving, handling, or appearance properties. Sizing helps to make the fibers more resistant to abrasion, improve their strength for weaving, and reduce fraying during the manufacturing process.
