Textiles - Determination of the abrasion
resistance of fabrics by the Martindale method -
Part 1:Martindale abrasion testing apparatus
(ISO 12947-1:1998)EN ISO 13997, Protective clothing — Mechanical properties — Determination of resistance to cutting by sharpobjects (ISO 13997:1999).3 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this European Standard the following terms and definitions apply:3.1protective glove against mechanical risksglove that provides protection against at least one of the following mechanical risks: abrasion, blade cut andpunctureNOTETear resistance provides information on the mechanical resistance of the glove, but is not indicative of protectionagainst a specific risk. Whilst a high value is normally considered as better, a low value is required in case of possibleentanglement with moving machinery.3.2glove providing a specific protectionglove that is designed to provide an area of improved protection for the whole hand or part of it3.3glove seriessingle glove style or glove type with the same palm material up to the wrist line where the only variants are size,length, left/right hand and colour3.4armpart of the body between the wrist and the shoulder

± 10 %.6.1.3 ApparatusAn abrasion testing machine of the type described in EN ISO 12947-1 as a Martindale Wear and Abrasion machine isrequired. It shall fulfil the following requirement:Pressure on specimen(9 ± 0,2) kPaNOTEMore detailed specifications relative to the apparatus can be found in EN ISO 12947-1. The model number 103 (fourplaces) is appropriate.6.1.4Test specimensFour test specimens shall be taken from four individual gloves of the same glove series.Where the test specimen is made of several unbonded layers, the test is performed on each layer, and theclassification is based on the sum of the number of cycles.6.1.5Test procedureSetting up the machine.A.
General
Mounting test specimensPlace the ring of the specimen holder in position on the mounting plate provided on the base of the testing apparatus.Secure without tension carefully and centrally the test specimen on the metal insert by means of double-sidedadhesive tape under a weight of 10 kg applied during 5 min. Good adhesion can be achieved through the use ofdouble-sided tape which prevents loosening of the test specimen and the inclusion of air bubbles.While ensuring that the ring containing the specimen and metal insert is held firmly in the mounting plate, start toscrew the top of the specimen holder on to the ring, taking care that the screw threads are not crossed. Having startedthe screwing down operation, use both hands to maintain a continuous downward pressure on the assembly againstthe mounting plate.This procedure will normally ensure that the specimen is securely retained in the holder in a wrinkle-free condition andthat it is ready for testing.NOTEAn example of appropriate double-sided adhesive tape is product ref. 465 from 3M. This information is given for theconvenience of users of this standard and does not constitute an endorsement by CEN/TC 162 of the product named. Equivalentproducts may be used if they can be shown to lead to the same results.C.
Mounting abradant1)Secure carefully the abradant 1)
by means of double-sided adhesive tape. Ensure the abradant is flat by placing theweight supplied with the testing machine for this purpose on its surface, and then position and tighten up the retainingframe evenly using diagonally opposite screws in sequence. Make sure that the abradant is held in place firmly andthat there are no tucks or ridges.D.
Mounting specimen holdersMount the test specimen holders on the top plate under a pressure of (9 ± 0,2) kPa and switch on the testing machine.Every time a specimen holder is taken from the machine to check the end point of the specimen for breakthrough,retighten the specimen holder before it is replaced on the machine.If it is necessary to interrupt the test for an appreciable length of time (e. g. overnight or at the weekend) remove thespecimens in their holders and store them face upwards. Protect the specimens by covering them with a clean card orpiece of fabric.E.
Method of assessmentEach test shall be performed with a new abradant. Begin the test and check the test specimens after 100 cycles. Ifthere is no breakthrough continue the test until reaching 500 cycles (performance level 2). If there is no breakthrough,
1) An example of suitable abradant is OAKEY Glass Quality Cabinet Paper Grade F2, Grit 100 – Self-adhesiveabradant is acceptable.This information is given for the convenience of users of this standard and does not constitute an endorsement by CEN/TC 162 ofthe product named. Equivalent products may be used if they can be shown to lead to the same results.
