Determination of tendency to lose pile by abrasion against underlying fillings.

This British Standard describes a method of determining the tendency of all types of cut-pile or non-loop pile upholstery fabrics to lose pile by abrasion against underlying fillings to the extent whereby the loss of pile is visually significant when the surface of the fabric is viewed. The method is primarily intended for plain velvets or for patterned velvets containing pile of uniform height.

NOTE 1 To the extent that this tendency to lose pile is highly dependent upon the nature of the underlying filling and the mode of construction of the furniture, and that the assessment of visually significant pile loss is made subjectively, this test may be considered as giving an indication only of the tendency to lose pile by this means. The test may not reproduce conditions which might apply when the fabric is in use.

NOTE 2 The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
