The Wyzenbeek abrasion tester test is used primarily in North America. The test was originally developed to determine the ability of automotive tires to withstand road abrasion. This abrasion testing method has been modified to test all types of materials against abrasion. In its various iterations, the test can be used to test clothing textiles, leather, upholstery fabric, automotive tires and floor covering.
Wyzenbeek abrasion tester test is used to determine the abrasion resistance of fabrics when rubbed against a standard abradant or a wire mesh screen in a backward and forward motion over a curved surface. Particularly it’s suitable for abrasion resistance of fabrics used in the automotive and furniture industry. The instrument follows the U.S. standard with four friction heads and electronic counters to control the operating cycle.
Though considered a stringent test, the Wyzenbeek does not necessarily measure “real life” conditions. The fabric to be tested is stretched tight on a frame and then abraded in the warp direction with a piece of cotton duck fabric.A second specimen of the same fabric is abraded in the filling direction. The number of cycles before 2 yarn breaks occur or when “noticeable wear” appears is measured.
These abrasion testing numbers are geared to commercial applications. For residential installations, the numbers may be lower without concern for upholstery performance or overall fabric durability. Common sense becomes an important factor.
