Several test methods for leather wear resistance test

Abrasion testing is one of the items that many materials need to test at present. It is also an important index to determine the physical properties of materials, such as leather abrasion resistance test. The main test methods for leather abrasion resistance are Gakushin abrasion method, TABER abrasion method and Martindale abrasion method.

Wear Test Method

Tests the degree of damage and discoloration of dyed leathers used in upper and lining leathers after rubbing. The test method is to wrap the dry or wet white wear-resistant fabric on the friction head, and then rub it repeatedly on the test piece fixed on the test table of the Gakushin abrasion Tester.

Martindale Grinding

This method is mainly used for the abrasion resistance of textile fabrics and leather materials. It specifies the Martindale Abrasion Tester F or Test. The circular sample is installed in the sample holder, and bears a certain load, and then rubs against the standard fabric along the LIssajous figure during the movement. The evaluation of the abrasion resistance of the fabric or leather is carried out from the inspection interval to the rupture of the sample.

Taber abrasion method

The method complies with ASTM D3884 standard. Principle: The sample is placed on a rotating platform and rubbed by the sliding rotation of two grinding wheels. One grinding wheel rubs the specimen outward to the periphery, and the other rubs inward to the center. This results in circular wear marks. The wear resistance of the samples was evaluated by appearance after the specified number of rubbings.

The Taber Abrasion Tester can simulate real working conditions or meet the test conditions specified in the standard. Different tests can also be carried out with different grinding media and accessories.
