Wyzenbeek Abrasion Test

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.

Determination of air permeability of a fabric-air permeability tester

Fabric air permeability is a measure to what extent it gives air passing through the fabric. Air permeability, a given area in the vertical direction of the air flow rate, a given time period, is measured by the fabric test area inside the pressure difference of the fabric. Basically, it depends on weight, thickness and porosity of fabric. The porosity of fabric is the demonstration of the air gap as a percentage within fabric. It has been important for especially the tent fabric, parachute fabric, raincoat fabric and garment, the fabric used in air bags, industrial filters and sail cloth. Moreover, when thermal properties of clothing and body interaction are taken into consideration, there has been the effect of air permeability. there is an instrument which is designed to test the air permeability of fabric on the market .it is air permeability tester . Air permeability is an important feature of fabrics (Sundaramoorthy et al., 2011) and is one of the main factors affecting the t...

How To Process The Elmendorf Tear Strength Test

The Elmendorf tear tester has been developed specially for the paper industry and is outstanding for simplicity of operation and high measurement accuracy. The exchangeable pendulum is equipped with a pneumatic sample clamp. The initiation and return of the pendulum, as well as sample cutting is completely automatic. The device is operated via an integrated touch screen, where the test method can be selected, specific settings can be adjusted, and, after the measurement, results and statistics can be  displayed.Each pendulum is supplied with the appropriate control weight so that, with the help of the service program, it can easily be checked for functionality and balance. The Elmendorf tear test Procedure:     Cotton fabric was taken.     Warp and weft direction of the fabric was identified.     Two strips were cut from the fabric in both directions having dimensions of 100 x 63.5 mm.     The sample was then fixed in the jaws of the ...

3 main functional values of the Burning Manikin System

3 main functional values of the Burning Manikin System 1) Research on the heat transfer mechanism of individual soldier's flame retardant equipment By simulating the battlefield fire conditions of different intensities, the changes of human skin surface heat flow and skin temperature by burning dummies, a good human body-clothing-fire environment conditions are created, and the individual soldiers are flame retardant The study of equipment heat transfer mechanism provides an important research method. 2) Research and screening of flame retardant fabrics for individual soldier equipment Quantitatively test the flame retardant properties of different individual soldier equipment fabrics through the burning dummy system, guide the research on flame retardant fabrics, and screen out flame retardant fabrics with excellent performance. 3) Structure and style design of individual soldier's flame retardant protective equipment The structure and style of individual soldier's flame r...
