Overview

EN ISO 5470-1:2016 - "Rubber- or plastics-coated fabrics - Determination of abrasion resistance - Part 1: Taber abrader" describes a standardized method for assessing the abrasive wear resistance of rubber‑ or plastic‑coated fabrics using the Taber abrader. Published by CEN/ISO, this standard specifies the apparatus, specimen preparation, test procedure, assessment methods (including gravimetric loss), precision and reporting requirements. It is one part of ISO 5470 (Part 2 covers the Martindale abrader).

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Test method: Taber abrader technique for coated fabrics (rotating turntable with two abrasive wheels contacting the specimen).
  • Apparatus requirements: flat circular turntable (nominal diameter 100 mm), controlled rotation speed (72 rev/min for 60 Hz, 60 rev/min for 50 Hz), strict geometric tolerances for wheel positions and radii, and suction for debris removal.
  • Specimens: test piece diameter range changed to 105 mm–115 mm (was 114 mm in earlier edition); thin samples may be supported on non‑flexible cardboard or equivalent for handling and weighing.
  • Procedure elements: conditioning atmosphere per ISO 2231; preparation and mounting of specimens; preparation and maintenance of abrasive surfaces; defined operation and stopping criteria.
  • Assessment: end‑point determination (number of cycles) and average rate of mass loss (gravimetric technique). Annex A gives a procedure for determining the abrasive power of abrasive wheels.
  • Precision and reporting: precision data, required test report contents and traceability details are specified.
  • Notes on limitations: the Introduction highlights potential issues with the Taber method - subjective end‑points without gravimetric measurement, small abraded area, possible localized heating, and limitations for post‑abrasion tests because of a central hole in the specimen.

Applications and users

This standard is used by:

  • Material and product manufacturers of coated fabrics for quality control and R&D.
  • Third‑party testing laboratories performing standardized abrasion tests.
  • Specification writers and procurement teams who need reproducible performance data for coated fabrics.
  • Typical practical applications include comparative abrasion performance assessment to support material selection and product development for coated textiles used in industrial, outdoor, automotive and upholstery applications.

Related standards

  • ISO 5470-2 (Martindale abrader) - alternative abrasive method for coated fabrics.
  • ISO 2231 - standard atmospheres for conditioning and testing.
  • ISO 9352 - calibration approach for abrasive wheels (zinc plate method).
  • Other normative references cited: ISO 5084 (thickness), ISO 105‑A02 (grey scale), ISO 48 (hardness), ISO 525 / ISO 6103 (abrasive wheel requirements).

Keywords: EN ISO 5470-1:2016, Taber abrader, abrasion resistance, rubber- or plastics-coated fabrics, coated fabrics testing, abrasion testing standard, abrasive wheel calibration.

Foreword
IISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national
standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally
carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which
a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee.
International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part
in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all
matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

— in Clause 5, the test piece diameter has been changed from 114 mm to the range of 105 mm to
115 mm and the key 2 in Figure 1 has been changed accordingly;
— the text in 7.2 has been revised.

ISO 5470-1:2016(E)
Introduction
It has long been accepted that some of the parameters associated with the Taber test as given in
ISO 5470:1980 needed to be more closely specified if reasonable reproducibility (R) was to be obtained.
Much of the work is now completed and has been acknowledged by ISO/TC 61 in publishing ISO 9352,
which employs a zinc plate as a means of calibrating the initial abrasive power of the wheels. This does
not, however, entirely overcome the problem of clogging or maintaining abrasion properties between
and during tests. It may also be regarded as expensive and time-consuming.
This part of ISO 5470 permits the approach in ISO 9352 to be adopted if so desired. However, the major
disadvantages of the Taber abrader are that:
a) end points can be somewhat subjective unless a gravimetric technique is employed;
b) only a small strip of material is abraded;
c) because of the velocity of interfacial friction, localized heating of the coating polymer can cause
softening and thus be less representative of abrasive wear in service;
d) the 6 mm diameter hole in the centre of the test piece does not permit post-abrasion assessments of
properties such as hydrostatic heat resistance or resistance to chemical reagents.
