A technique is described for the determination of yarn abrasion-resistance free from other wear factors such as flexibility, strength, elongation, and fabric construction. The procedure is based on a sheet of parallel yarns wound under controlled tension and subsequently abraded to failure on a Taber Abraser. The method has been used to evaluate the effect of yarn prop erties as well as fiber type on yarn abrasion-resistance. Results on yarns correlate well with the Taber abrasion-resistance of fabrics made from these yarns, and can be used to determine the inherent yarn abrasion-resistance without the necessitiy of fabric preparation.
