1 Scope
This European Standard describes two test methods on abrasion resistance of materials using the same abrasion
apparatus. The first method describes the determination of the abrasion resistance of protective clothing materials.
The second method describes abrasion pre-treatment of these materials where the test specimens are used
afterwards in other test methods or for evaluating the remaining protective properties.

The abradant is regarded to be a woven wool fabric for the purposes of this standard.

If other abradants (e.g. glass paper) are used, they should be specified in the requirement standard. Mounting
instructions of special abradants should be described in requirement standards.

This European Standard is applicable as a reference standard on abrasion for standards and specifications on
protective clothing textile materials.

4 Methods of test

4.1 Principles

The abrasion test using the Martindale abrasion machine is presented in two methods of operation.

Method 1: Determination of abrasion resistance

Determination of abrasion resistance employs the instrument in the conventional manner and produces an abraded
disc of material 38 mm in diameter. This is convenient where only the loss of finish or appearance, or the mass or
volume of abrasion loss, is to be determined and requires only small amounts of material to be tested.

Method 2: Pre-treatment procedure

Pre-treatment procedure employs the instrument in inverted mode, i.e. the specimen is placed on the abradant
table instead of in the test piece holder and the abradant is mounted in the test piece holder. This provides an
abraded area which allows post-abrasion testing or evaluation to be carried out.

4.2 Conditioning and testing atmosphere

Condition the material to be tested, and the abradant, in the standard atmosphere in accordance with
EN ISO 139:2005 unless otherwise specified in the requirement standard. Conduct the test in the same
atmosphere.

If other atmosphere is used, it shall be stated in the test report.

Martindale abrasion machine as described in EN ISO 12947-1.

5.2 Abradant

Woven wool fabric conforming to EN ISO 12947-1:1998, Table 1.

If other abradants are used, these shall be specified in the specific product requirement standard.

5.3 Foam

Polyetherurethane foam material as specified in EN ISO 12947-1:1998, Table 3.

Foam is used in test pieces holders under specimen or abradant.

When tested material or abradant have a mass per unit area more than 500 g/m², foam is not used.

5.4 Felt

Felt backing as specified in EN ISO 12947-1:1998, Table 2.

Felt is used in abrasion tables under the tested material or abradant.

5.5 Cutter

Punch or press cutter, to cut a circle of (38 + 00,5 ) mm in diameter.

 SIST EN 530:2010

EN 530:2010 (E)

5.6 Magnifying glass or microscope

Magnifying glass or stereo microscope, e.g., 8x magnification.

5.7 Useful life of auxiliary materials

Renew the abradant for every test. For abrasion tests with more than 50 000 rubs, change the abradant after every
50 000 rubs.

Inspect the felt for soiling and wear after every abrasion test. If soiling or detectable wear shows visible or
touchable change (e.g. pilling) in the surface of the felt, replace the felt.

When foam is used in abrasion testing, use a new piece for every abrasion test.

6 Procedure of Method 1: Determination of abrasion resistance

6.1 Test specimen

Using the punch or press cutter, take at least four pieces for test specimens. Exclude the selvedge area at least
100 mm from the edge when cutting the specimens at random from the entire material. For woven fabrics, take the
specimens so that they each contain different warp and weft threads. Specimens shall not include seams.

If the end point of the test is expressed in terms of mass loss, determine the mass of each specimen taken, to an
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
accuracy of 1 mg before the test starts.

6.2 Setting up the machine (standards.iteh.ai)

6.2.1 SIST EN 530:2010
Mounting specimen in test piece holder
https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/29cdb5c4-0e2a-4888-b427-
Place the ring of the test piece holder in position on the mounting plate provided on the base of the machine. Insert
18045eb7e956/sist-en-530-2010
the specimen face side downwards, centrally on the ring. Place the foam backing on top. Foam shall not be used
2
for test specimens with a mass per unit area of more than 500 g/m .

Place the metal insert carefully and centrally on top of the specimen or on top of the foam and specimen, so that its
hollowed side faces upwards, and press down.

Ensure that the specimen is retained in a wrinkle-free condition during the further assembly with the test piece
holder.

NOTE When screws are used for this assembly, the following procedure should be followed:

Hold the ring containing the specimen and the metal insert firmly in the mounting plate, start to screw the top of the
test piece holder on to the ring, taking care that the screw threads are not crossed. Having started the screwing
down operation, use both hands to maintain a continuous downward pressure on the assembly, against the
mounting plate.

6.2.2 Mounting the woven wool fabric abradant on abrading table

Cut circular pieces with a diameter of (140 ± 5) mm of abradant to fit the abrading table and cut the same number
and size of felt backings. Use a new abradant on the abrasion tables.

Place the felt backing on the abrading table and place the abradant over the felt. Check that weft and warp of the
woven wool abradant lie parallel to the edges of the machine frame.

Compress the felt and abradant on the abrading table with a pressing weight described in EN ISO 12497-1. Fit the
clamping ring (or appropriate device) and secure the felt and abradant firmly. Remove the pressing weight. Ensure
that the abradant is retained in a wrinkle-free condition.
