This document specifies the test method for determining the abrasion resistance of leather using the Taber method. The test is performed using a specialized rotary Taber abrasion tester, the core principle of which involves subjecting a pair of specific abrasive wheels (also known as friction wheels) to continuous friction against the surface of a circular leather specimen rotating horizontally around a vertical axis under an adjustable constant load, simulating the wear process under actual use conditions. The evaluation of abrasion resistance is typically based on the extent of damage exhibited by the specimen's coating after a predetermined number of friction cycles, such as coating detachment or color change.
