Standard Test Method for
Abrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics (Oscillatory Cylinder
Method)1

This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 4157; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.

1. Scope

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the abrasion resistance of woven textile fabrics using the oscillatory
cylinder tester. This test method may not be usable for some
fabric constructions.
NOTE 1—Other procedures for measuring the abrasion resistance of
textile fabrics are given in: Test Methods D 3884, D 3885, D 3886,
D 4158, and AATCC 93.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as
standard; the values in English units are provided as information only and are not exact equivalents.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
