Designation:D415808(Reapproved 2020)Standard Guide forAbrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics(Uniform Abrasion)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4158;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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope1.1 This guide covers the determination of the resistance toabrasion of a wide range of textile materials using the uniformabrasion testing instrument.Fabrics of all types includingcarpets,garments and nonwovens may be tested under thismethod.NOTE1Other procedures for measuring the abrasion resistance oftextile fabrics are given in:Test Methods D3884,D3885,D3886,D4157,D4966,and AATCC Test Method 93.1.1.1 Provisions are provided for testing specimens in dryand wet conditions.Four options for evaluation are included:Option 1Fabric RuptureOption 2Mass LossOption 3Thickness LossOption 4Breaking Strength Loss1.1.2 Provision is provided for testing specimens in the wetstate.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as the standard.Within the text,the inch-pound units are shown in parentheses.The valuesstated in each system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,each system shall be used independently of the other.Combin-ing values from the two systems may result in nonconformancewith the specification.1.3 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,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.4 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D123 Terminology Relating to TextilesD1776 Practice for Conditioning and Testing TextilesD3884 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)D4157 Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of TextileFabrics(Oscillatory Cylinder Method)D4850 Terminology Relating to Fabrics and Fabric TestMethodsD4966 Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of TextileFabrics(Martindale Abrasion Tester Method)D5035 Test Method for Breaking Force and Elongation ofTextile Fabrics(Strip Method)2.2 Other Documents:AATCC Test Method 93 Abrasion Resistance of Fabrics:Accelerator Method33.Terminology3.1 For all terms relating to D13.60,Fabric Test Methods,Specific,refer to Terminology D4850.3.1.1 The following terms are relevant to this standard:abrasion,abrasion cycle,rotation.3.2 For all other terminology related to textiles,see Termi-nology D123.4.Summary of Test4.1 A specimen is mounted in a holder and abraded uni-formly in all directions in the plane and about every point ofthe surface of the specimen.The settings of the instrument,method of mounting specimens,conditions of test(conditioned1This 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 1,2020.Published August 2020.Originallyapproved in 1982.Last previous edition approved in 2016 as D4158 08(2016).DOI:10.1520/D4158-08R20.2For 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.3Available from American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists(AATCC),P.O.Box 12215,Research Triangle Park,NC 27709,http:/www.aatcc.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1or wet),and criteria to be used in evaluating abrasive wear inthe test,depend upon the nature of the specimen to be testedand the use to be made of the test results.Abrasion resistancefor wear is evaluated by one or more conditions of destruction,a defined surface damage,loss in the mass,strength orthickness of
