Abrasion Strength Test
Abrasion testing is used to determine the amount of wear and tear a fabric can withstand. This test was done on Pinatex, a fabric constructed from pineapple fibers. I discovered that it took over 200 rotations on the abrasion machine before it ripped a hole into the fabric.
After about 35 rotations, the wear is really showing
150 rotations: fibers ripping apart
At 100 rotations, fibers are falling out
After 190 rotations, holes begin to form
204 rotations
