Application
The Scott Type Crease-Flex Abrasion Tester is used to assess the crease-flex abrasion resistance of various materials, including leather, rubber, cloth, and more. The force applied to the specimen, the distance between grips, and the two-way distance can all be adjusted. The force is applied using a spring-type mechanism. The test involves clamping two specimens in a cross shape and applying the appropriate load based on the material. The specimens are then flexed and creased reciprocally. After completing the specified number of abrasion cycles, the samples are examined for signs of cracking, wrinkling, or discoloration.
Testing Method
Test Significance
The Scott Type Crease-Flex Abrasion Test evaluates the durability of materials by rubbing them back and forth and observing any physical changes such as cracks, wrinkles, or discoloration. This test, in combination with the Martindale Abrasion Test, provides a comprehensive understanding of material durability and helps improve the reliability of the results.
Differences Between Martindale Abrasion Test and Scott Type Abrasion Test
- Testing Method: The Martindale abrasion test primarily involves friction between the sample and a specified substance, while the Scott Type test involves rubbing the sample itself back and forth.
- Testing Range: The Martindale abrasion test focuses mainly on pilling resistance and fabric durability. In contrast, the Scott Type test can assess the durability of textiles and the abrasion resistance of materials like plastic films, artificial leather, rubber, and leather.
- Test Standards: The Martindale abrasion test generally aligns with international standards, while the Scott Type test adheres to Japanese standards, including JIS L1096, JASO, and JIS-K6404-6, making it more specialized for certain industries.
