本试验方法旨在评估织物和其他柔性材料的耐磨性。不受约束的织物试样由叶轮（转子）沿锯齿形路线在圆柱形腔室内以通常为圆形的轨道驱动，从而使其反复撞击腔室的壁和磨料衬层，同时持续受到极快的高速冲击。在试验过程中，试样承受弯曲、摩擦、冲击、压缩、拉伸和其他机械力。 通过纱线与纱线、纤维与纤维、表面与表面以及表面与磨料的摩擦，在整个试样中产生磨损。

This test method is intended for evaluating the resistance of fabrics and other flexible materials to abrasion.An unfettered fabric specimen is driven by an impeller (rotor) along a zigzag course in a generally circular orbit within a cylindrical chamber, so that it repeatedly impinges on the walls and abradant liner of the chamber while at the same time being continually subjected to extremely rapid, high velocity impacts. The specimen is subjected to flexing, rubbing, shock, compression, stretching and other mechanical forces during the test. Abrasion is produced throughout the specimen by rubbing of yarn against yarn, fiber against fiber, surface against surface and surface against abradant.
