An abrasion machine has been developed for laboratory use based on the principle of abrading textiles at a slow rate with a small abrasive force and then evaluating abrasion damage after only minor textile structural changes have occurred. Structural change is evaluated in terms of fiber transfer, which is the release and relocation of individual fibers. The abrasion machine is described and its use is illustrated with three fabrics by evaluating the number, length, and configuration of transferred fibers. Since most textiles transfer fibers during ordinary use and care, this machine has the potential for application to a wide variety of textile problems.
