Designation:D3181151Standard Guide forConducting Wear Tests on Textiles1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D3181;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTESection 5.1 was revised editorially in October 2015.1.Scope1.1 This guide is intended to provide guidance for thedesign of an experiment for the purpose of developing aprediction of expected wear performance of apparel and textileproducts when exposed to actual use conditions.1.2 This guide recommends the use of a product for whicha history of its performance is known from laboratory testingand consumer use as the basis for statistical significance of newproducts performance,however,other design or experimentalapproaches may be used.1.3 The wide variety of textile products and the conditionsunder which consumers will use products prevents the inclu-sion of all types of wear trial experiments for research anddevelopment,product innovation studies,and special needssuch as those for healthcare industry or military.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:22.1.1 Fabric and Apparel Tests:D2051 Test Method for Durability of Finish of Zippers toLaunderingD2052 Test Method for Colorfastness of Zippers to Dry-cleaningD2057 Test Method for Colorfastness of Zippers to Laun-deringD2058 Test Method for Durability of Finish of Zippers toDrycleaningD2261 Test Method for Tearing Strength of Fabrics by theTongue(Single Rip)Procedure(Constant-Rate-of-Extension Tensile Testing Machine)D2594 Test Method for Stretch Properties of Knitted FabricsHaving Low PowerD3107 Test Methods for Stretch Properties of Fabrics Wo-ven from Stretch YarnsD3511 Test Method for Pilling Resistance and Other RelatedSurface Changes of Textile Fabrics:Brush Pilling TesterD3512 Test Method for Pilling Resistance and Other RelatedSurface Changes of Textile Fabrics:Random TumblePilling TesterD3514 Test Method for Pilling Resistance and Other RelatedSurface Changes of Textile Fabrics:Elastomeric PadD3884 Guide for Abrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics(Rotary Platform,Double-Head Method)D3885 Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of TextileFabrics(Flexing and Abrasion Method)D3886 Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of TextileFabrics(Inflated Diaphragm Apparatus)D3938 Guide for Determining or Confirming Care Instruc-tions for Apparel and Other Textile ProductsD3939 Test Method for Snagging Resistance of Fabrics(Mace)D4157 Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of TextileFabrics(Oscillatory Cylinder Method)D4231 Practice for Evaluation of Launderable Woven DressShirts and Sports ShirtsD4390 Practice for Evaluation of the Performance of TerryBathroom Products for Household Use(Withdrawn1994)3D4966 Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of TextileFabrics(Martindale Abrasion Tester Method)D4970 Test Method for Pilling Resistance and Other RelatedSurface Changes of Textile Fabrics:Martindale TesterD5034 Test Method for Breaking Strength and Elongation ofTextile Fabrics(Grab Test)D5035 Test Method for Breaking Force and Elongation ofTextile Fabrics(Strip Method)1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D13 on Textiles andis the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D13.60 on Fabric Test Methods,Specific.Current edition approved July 1,2015.Published September 2015.Originallyapproved in 1973.Last previous edition approved in 2010 as D3181 10.DOI:10.1520/D3181-15.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 D6321 Practice for the Evaluation of Machine WashableT-ShirtsD6797 Test Method for Bursting Strength of FabricsConstant-Rate-of-Extension(CRE)Ball Burst TestD6828 Test Method for Stiffness of Fabric by Blade/SlotProcedure2.1.2 Other ASTM Standards:D123 Terminology Relating to TextilesD4850 Terminology Relating to Fabrics and Fabric TestMethodsD7022 Terminology Relating to Apparel2.2 AATCC Standards:42.2.1 Colorfastness and Physical Properties:8 Colorfastness to Crocking:AATCC Crockmeter Method15 Colorfastness to Perspiration16 Colorfastness to Light61 Colorfastness to Laundering:Accelerated88B Smoothness of Seams in Fabrics After Repeated HomeLaundering88C Appearance of Creases in W
