FABRIC ABRASION BY A SAND BLAST METHOD

Abstract

The abrasion resistance of fabrics may be evaluated by several laboratory instruments, but those using a grit or sand abradant have been the most reliable for predicting field wear from laboratory data. These abraders impart a wear action referred to as 'abrasive' which involves a penetration through the fabric by abradant particles and is unaffected by fabric lubricants. This report is concerned with an investigation to determine the feasibility of adapting a commercial spark plug cleaner for evaluating fabric abrasion characteristics.
