This standard is part of a series of test methods specifically designed to determine the abrasion resistance of fabrics until failure. It provides a detailed description of the evaluation method, using the physical breakdown of the specimen (such as the appearance of holes) as the endpoint of the test. The Martindale abrasion tester (or Martindale abrasion testing machine) is commonly employed as the core instrument for this procedure. During the test, a circular specimen is subjected to repeated rubbing against a standard abrasive fabric along a Lissajous curve trajectory under a specified pressure. The instrument accurately records the number of rubbing cycles from the start of the test until the final failure of the specimen, which serves as a key quantitative indicator for assessing the abrasion durability of the fabric.
