Abstract: This study was undertaken as a project related to the Southern Regional Research Project, SM-18. The purpose of this regional project was to obtain a means of selecting cottons for specific end-uses by studying the relationship of fiber properties. This study was designed to use the Accelerotor in developing an accelerated abrasion test to predict fabric serviceability. The four types of cotton sheetings distributed to the North Carolina station for use in Phase I of the Regional Project were sampled (1) to determine the bursting strength after wear and laundering, and (2) to develop an accelerated abrasion test using the Accelerotor.
