ZHTest Method: SATRA TM154
Shoe lace to shoe lace and shoe lace to lace carrier abrasion
March 2018
SCOPE
This method is intended to determine the abrasion resistance of a shoe lace to repeated rubbing against either a similar shoe lace, or a lace carrier. The method can also be used to assess the abrasion resistance of a lace carrier. The method is applicable to all types of shoe laces and lace carriers.
PRINCIPLE
A length of the shoe lace to be tested is threaded through a loop formed by:
Method 1: Lace to lace abrasion - a second piece of the same lace, held open by a spacer.
Method 2: Lace to carrier abrasion - a lace carrier.
The shoe lace is bent through a fixed acute angle at the point of contact with the loop. It is then held under a standard tension while it is repeatedly drawn back and forth through the loop until failure occurs.
