SAE J365-1994 Method Of Testing Resistance To Scuffing Of Trim Materials
Summary :
This test can be used to determine the resistance to scuffing of test specimens such as fiberboards, fabrics, vinyl-coated fabrics, leathers, and similar trim materials.
METHOD OF TESTING RESISTANCE TO SCUFFING OF TRIM MATERIALS
1. Scope—This test can be used to determine the resistance to scuffing of test specimens such as fiberboards, fabrics, vinyl-coated fabrics, leathers, and similar trim materials.
2. References—There are no referenced publications specified herein.
3. Materials and Equipment Required
3.1 Abraser—Taber Model 5150 or equivalent. Equipment which meets the requirements of this test can be
obtained from the Taber Instrument Corp., North Tonawanda, NY.
3.2 Specimen Holder—Catalog No. E-100-1251. 108 mm OD.
3.3 Hold-Down Ring—Catalog No. E-100-1011. 108 mm OD.
3.4 Rubber Pad—Catalog No. S-191.
3.5 Clamp Plate—54 mm OD for fabrics, leather, coated fabrics, and similar flexible materials. 32 mm OD for
carpets and other floor covering materials.
3.6 Scuff Fixture—The special scuff fixture head, weight, and other components are shown in Figure 1 and are
assembled as shown in Figure 2. The scuff fixture is attached to the abrader as shown in Figure 3. The scuff
head is held at a 110 degree angle. The vertical centerline of the scuff head is 32 mm from the specimen
holder center pin. The tip is centered under the 0.9 kg weight and in a horizontal alignment with the center pin
as shown in Figure 3.
NOTE—The attachment bracket shown in Figure 1, detail 8 may be modified for other abrader models,
provided the scuff head position is maintained and test results correlate.
The scuff head tip shown in Figure 1, detail 11 must be frequently checked for dimensions and reground or
replaced if found to deviate from the specified tolerances.
