ASTM D4157 (Standard Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics)

ASTM D4157 is a standardized test that measures how well a textile fabric resists surface wear and abrasion. It involves rubbing the fabric against a standard abrasive surface with controlled pressure and speed, simulating wear from regular use. The test quantifies the amount of fabric material worn away after repeated rubbing, providing an objective measure of durability. This helps manufacturers and consumers assess how long a fabric or textile product is likely to last under typical wear conditions, ensuring quality and suitability for their intended use.
