Sažetak
The automotive manufacturing industry is a key user of technical textiles. Cars consume a large amount of material, and the textiles are not an exception. The objective of this study is to compare four abrasion testers, which are used for the automobile sector. Previously the test parameters have been determined to make the most precise comparison, and four car seat upholstery structures have been compared. Martindale is the most complex abrasion tester: it generates a movement according to a curve of Lissajous and can test several samples simultaneously for a machine cycle ; for this reason, it has been determined that part of the total results variations is attributable to the parameters of the used apparatus and tested structures as well.
