The Wyzenbeek Precision Wear Test Meter

Abstract

A study of the Wyzenbeek Precision Wear Test Meter was made to determine its suitability for use as a standard instrument for determining the abrasion resistance of textiles. The results of two interlaboratory tests, which included consideration of endpoints and abradants, indicate that the severity of abrasion among the units is too variable to permit the use of the Wyzenbeek apparatus for establishing interlaboratory standards. Individual instruments were found to be sufficiently precise for evaluating differences among fabrics, A number of suggestions for improving the technique of operation are included.
