“…Results on yarns correlate well with the Taber abrasion-resistance of fabrics made from these yarns, and can be used to determine the inherent yarn abrasion-resistance without the necessitiy of fabric preparation. THE GENERAL PROBLEM of evaluating the wear-resistance of textiles has received considerable attention both in the United States and other countries [4,5,6,7,14,15]. In virtually all cases it has been necessary to conduct field tests in end uses to obtain information on wear, because of the difficulty in correlating data observed in the laboratory with wear observed in service.…”

A technique is described for the determination of yarn abrasion-resistance free from other wear factors such as flexibility, strength, elongation, and fabric construction. The procedure is based on a sheet of parallel yarns wound under controlled tension and subsequently abraded to failure on a Taber Abraser. The method has been used to evaluate the effect of yarn properties as well as fiber type on yarn abrasion-resistance. Results on yarns correlate well with the Taber abrasion-resistance of fabrics made from these yarns, and can be used to determine the inherent yarn abrasion-resistance without the necessitiy of fabric preparation. THE GENERAL PROBLEM of evaluating the wear-resistance of textiles has received considerable attention both in the United States and other countries [4,5,6,7,14,15]. In virtually all cases it has been necessary to conduct field tests in end uses to obtain information on wear, because of the difficulty in correlating data observed in the laboratory with wear observed in service. This difficulty probably resides in the fact that wear is a composite result involving abrasion, flexing, strength, elongation, and other factors, all exerting their individual effects simultaneously, and it is almost impossible to set up a laboratory test which will include all of these factors at the same time and to the proper extent.One of the most important of the factors contributing to wear is believed to be abrasion, and it has seemed desirable to measure this property free from other factors affecting wear and thereby to contribute to the understanding of the more general problem.Abrasion-testing has usually been confined to fabrics, which in turn are relatively complex structures, which makes tests inconvenient to carry out and difficult to understand. A test applicable to yarns would be accordingly quite desirable. Testers for this purpose have been described by Walker and Olmstead [ 16] and by Matthes and Keworkian [ 111.These testers, however, do not measure abrasion free from other factors but, rather, measure a combination of abrasion-resistance and other properties such as flexibility and strength, and are unsatisfactory for this reason. Hamburger and Lee [8] developed a test which presumably meaures simple abrasion of yarns. They used a sheet of parallel yarns wound under controlled tension on a panel which could be abraded on a Taber Abraser. The preparation of the yarn sheet was comparatively simple and the sample comprising a number of ends was more representative than single-end tests. Relative abrasionresistance was calculated as a &dquo;durability coefficient&dquo; obtained by determining loss in yarn strength after progressive degrees of abrasion on a succession of samples. It is accordingly a comparatively long and expensive test.It was the purpose of this work to develop a rapid yarn abrasion test which would not be influenced by other wear factors and to use this test to evaluate the effect of yarn properties on abrasion-resistance. The procedure was similar to that described by Hamb...

“…Schwartz's abrasion testing machine was constructed on the principle of applying friction by means of constant abrading on a surface to an elementary line, passing over a flexing bar of proper curvature at moderate speeds. A standard grade emery cloth is used as an abrasive (Hall & Kaswell, 1945).…”

Warp yarns undergo various types of complex stress during the weaving process; namely tensile, cyclic-extension, compression, bending and abrasion. The capacity of the yarns to withstand these stresses is termed as their weavability. The prediction ofweavabilityis exploited to extract first-hand information about the expected performance of yarns in weaving. This critical review article discusses several approaches that are adopted by the researchers for the prediction of warp breakages in weaving; namely, empirical, statistical and instrumental. The recent developments in the field of prediction of warp breakage rate in weaving are summarized. The research work that is currently being pursued in the attachment of a microprocessor based shedding device in a constant tension transport (CTT) instrument for the prediction of the weavability of spun yarns is highlighted.

“…There are many types of abrasion testing machines and different standard methods used worldwide, [11,12]. Since the 1930s scientists strived to clarify the confused terminology used in studying the wear resistance of textiles, [13][14][15][16]. The results of abrasion testing are determined by many physical and chemical factors depending on the use of the material, [13].…”

This paper evaluated the performance and durability of leading structural shading materials to be used in the Super Containerized Living Units (Super-CLU’s) project. Fifteen unique shading fabrics were tested in five different experiments in order to evaluate their strength, resistance to wind, abrasion, and heat and to assess their heat transmissivity and breathability. A current United States Navy material was used as a control material for the evaluation of the other tested materials. Samples of each fabric were first tensile tested in both their warp and weft orientation to create an ‘as-received’ baseline condition. Then, additional samples of each fabric were exposed to wind, abrasion, or heat and subsequently tensile tested in order to show the degradation in tensile strength as compared to the as-received samples. The heat transmissivity and breathability testing was conducted separately.
