Abrasion
?
The wearing away of any part of a
material by rubbing against another
surface is known as Abrasion of that
material. There are so many methods
for determining the Abrasion Resistance
of the fabrics. One of these methods
is determination of Abrasion Resistance
of the Fabrics by using the Martindale
Abrasion Tester. The Abrasion Resistance
is measured by subjecting the specimen
to rubbing motion in the form of a
geometric figure, that is a straight
line, which becomes a gradually widening
ellipse. Until it forms another straight
lines in the opposite direction and
traces the same figure again under
known conditions of pressure and abrasive
action.
Consistency
:
The K.V.S. Martindale Abrasion Tester
consist of four Testing Tables on
which the Abrading Fabric is to be
attached, which are mounted on the
base plate of the instrument. There
is a Revolving Plate, which revolves
with the help of three Cam & Pegs.
There are four Sleeves attached to
the Revolving Plate. The four Sample
Holders will be provided with the
instrument. There is set of Weights
for proper pressure on the test specimen.
Two Templates for cutting the Sample,
Abrading Fabric and its Mallets are
also provided with the Instrument.
