AT SURFACE VEHICLE inrerwarionat, | STANDARD Revised ‘Superseding J365 MAY2012 (R) Method of Testing Resistance to Scuffing of Trim Materials RATIONALE, Changes to this document compared to previous versions include: updated drawings that removed manufacturing details (Figures 1 and 2); updated description of the scuff fixture (3.2); added note stating abrader vacuum system is not utilized (3.2 note); added new heading for 4.2; condensed steps and made wording consistent for each group of materials (4.2.1 and 4.2.2); moved scuffing process to 4.3; removed requirement to report mounting configuration and configuration tested (Section 5), 4. SCOPE This test can be used to determine the resistance to scuffing of test specimens such as fiberboards, fabrics, vinyl-coated fabrics, leathers, and similar trim materials. 2. REFERENCES There are no referenced publications specified herein. 3. MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT REQUIRED 3.1 Abrader Taber Rotary Platform Abraser or equivalent, including the following components: 3.1.1 Specimen Holder 408 mm OD. 3.1.2. Hold-Down Ring 108 mm ID. 3.1.3 Rubber Pad 3.1.4 Clamp Plate 54 mm OD for fabrics, leather, coated fabrics, and similar flexible materials. 32 mm OD for carpets and other floor covering materials. ‘SAE Tochial Standards Bond Rules provide Ba.

A weight applies a known mass to the scuff head tip. Scuff head Type A is utilized and 0.9 kg mass is applied to the scuff head tip, unless otherwise agreed upon by the interested parties. The scuff head tip shown in Figure 2 shall be frequently checked for dimensions and replaced if found to deviate from the specified tolerances.

Prepare a specimen approximately 130 mm diameter with a 6.5 mm center hole. b. Place the specimen on the rubber pad of the specimen holder then secure the specimen using the §4 mm OD clamp plate and clamping nut. c. Press the hold-down ring over the test specimen so that the material is drawn taut over the specimen holder with no wrinkles or bulges. Tighten the hold-down ring adjusting screw without causing the specimen to wrinkle or bulge. 4.22 Fiberboard, Rubber Floor Mats, Carpets, and Other Semi-Rigid Materials a. Prepare a specimen approximately 106 mm diameter with a 6.5 mm center hole. b. Place the test specimen on the rubber pad on the specimen holder, then secure using the 32 mm OD clamp plate and clamping nut. ©. When required, place the hold-down ring over the test specimen. Tighten the hold-down ring adjusting screw without ‘causing the specimen to wrinkle or bulge. 43 Lower the scuff fixture onto the test specimen. Scuff for the number of cycles indicated by the engineering specification. 5. REPORTING Observe and report scuff resistance by comparing the test specimen to an approved master scuff specimen established by the interested parties, or as required by the applicable engineering specification. Report any deviation from the procedure, 6.
