    There are three types of abrasion in terms of occurrence; flat, edge and flex abrasion. Therefore different abrasion test methods have been described by the abrasion type, the test head movement or testing device setup. The differences among the procedures include the type of equipment, abradant (the material that rubs against the specimen), material used (including woven, nonwoven, and knit apparel fabrics, household fabrics, industrial fabrics, and floor coverings) and assessment method. In all of the test methods, the tested specimen is rubbed in a particular manner against an abradant which may be a fabric, or a emery sheet for either a certain amount of time for a certain number of strokes or cycles . 
    
   ASTM and ISO define several methods to quantify abrasion resistance of textile materials and introduce methods for the evaluation of abraded fabrics. However, there is not a linear relationship between successive measurements using any of these methods and progressive amounts of abrasion . In following, these test methods are given.
 
Test Standard:
ASTM D 4966 Standard Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics  ;
ASTM D 3884 Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics  ;
ASTM D 3885 Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics ;
ASTM D 3886 Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics ;
ASTM D 4157 Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics ;
ASTM D 4158 Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics ;
AATCC-93 Test Method Abrasion Resistance of Fabrics: Accelerator Method ;
ISO 12947-1 Determination of the abrasion resistance of fabrics by the Martindale method Part 1:Martindale abrasion testing apparatus ;
ISO 12947-2 Determination of the abrasion resistance of fabrics by the Martindale method Part 2: Determination of specimen breakdown; 
ISO 12947-3 Determination of the abrasion resistance of fabrics by the Martindale method Part 3: Determination of mass loss ;
ISO 12947-4 Determination of the abrasion resistance of fabrics by the Martindale method Part 4: Assessment of appearance change;
