Abstract
Described is a method for simulating the ageing of a predetermined fabric comprising the following steps: preparing two specimens of said predetermined fabric, subjecting said specimens to an abrasion process by mutual rubbing, subjecting a first of said specimens to a test by means of an Elmendorf type lacerometer according to the direction of the weft of said predetermined fabric, subjecting a second of said specimens to an Elmendorf test according to the direction of warp of said predetermined fabric, comparing the results of said Elmendorf tests with a reference value relative to an Elmendorf test performed on the same predetermined fabric not subjected to any abrasion process.

A method for simulating the ageing of a predetermined fabric comprising the following steps, in the precise order:
- preparing two specimens of said predetermined fabric,
- subjecting said specimens to an abrasion process by mutual rubbing,
- subjecting a first of said specimens to a test by means of an Elmendorf type lacerometer in the direction of the weft of said predetermined fabric,
- subjecting a second of said specimens to an Elmendorf test in the direction of the warp of said predetermined fabric,
- comparing the results of said Elmendorf tests with a reference value relative to an Elmendorf test performed on the same predetermined fabric not subjected to any abrasion process,
- preparing a third specimen of said fabric,
- subjecting said third specimen to an abrasion process by rubbing against a reference abrasive fabric,
- subjecting said third specimen to a laceration test using an Elmendorf pendulum abrasion meter,
- comparing the result of said Elmendorf test with a reference value relative to an Elmendorf test performed on the same predetermined fabric not subjected to any abrasion process.
