1、Designation:F157195(Reapproved 2008)Standard Test Method forDetermination of Abrasion and Smudge Resistance ofImages Produced from Business Copy Products(SutherlandMethod)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1571;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
2、original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers a procedure for determining theamount of i
3、mage transferred from one site and redeposited atanother site(smudge)on a document.The Sutherland Ink RubTester2with 4-lb(1.82-kg)test block is the test instrument forproducing the transfer and either a reflectometer or densitom-eter is employed for measuring the change in images.Alternatively,a vis
4、ual rating order can be employed to estab-lish a ranking order.The degree to which the original image isunaltered upon rubbing is considered to be the abrasionresistance.1.2 This test method can be employed to evaluate thesmudge resistance of business imaging products produced bytypewriters,and impa
5、ct printers.1.3 This test method can also be employed to measureperformance characteristics for a product.The user shouldselect test equipment that is appropriate for measuring thedegree of abrasion to the samples.Samples are tested beforeand after rubbing and comparisons of results made.In this tes
6、tmethod product performance evaluations are optional.1.4 Other test methods employing the Crockmeter,TaberAbrader,and Gavarti GA-C.A.T.can be employed to evaluatethe smudge and abrasion characteristics.Results by these unitsare not necessarily equivalent to those obtained with theSutherland.1.5 The
7、values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard.The SI units given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro
