(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Determination of Area Stability of Leather to Laundering
Standard Test Method for Determination of Area Stability of Leather to Laundering
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
The procedure is primarily intended to evaluate the ability of a leather specimen to withstand fixed, and rather strenuous, laundering conditions. This test method is not intended as a recommended washing procedure, neither household nor commercial. The resulting area stability is determined.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the determination of launderability of dyed leathers with or without a pigment finish. This test method does not apply to wet blue.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

6. Procedure
6.1 Unless otherwise specified, perform this test in accor-
dance with standard atmospheric conditions (see Practice
D1610). Weigh the conditioned samples to the nearest 0.1 g.
6.2 Make two measurements of each dimension of the
specimenandaveragethem.Makethemeasurements13mmin
from the edges of the specimen. Indelibly mark the grain
surface of the specimen to indicate the points of measurement.
Use the average measurement to determine the original area of
the specimen, and record this area as A. (The known dimen-
sions of the die may be used instead of actually measuring the
specimen.When this option is taken, the specimen shall still be
indelibly marked at the points of measurement indicated
above.)
6.3 Add three specimens and twenty stainless steel balls to
a 1-pt jar together with 150 mLof a soap solution that has been
preheated to 120 6 2°F (49 6 1°C).
6.4 Seal the jars and clamp them into the rotor of a washing
machine. Run the apparatus at 40 to 45 rpm for 30 min at 120
6 2°F (49 6 1°C).
