ICI Mace Snagging Tester | Accurate Fabric Snagging Tendency Test to Global Standards

DESCRIPTION / TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

This testing instrument is a cutting-edge solution specifically designed to rapidly and accurately determine the tendency of fabrics to snag during normal wear. The device operates by using mace balls that move randomly over rotating cylinders at a constant speed, simulating real-life wear conditions on materials. This technology is ideal for testing various types of fabrics, including knitted and woven fabrics, as well as those made from filament or textured yarns, which are generally more susceptible to surface damage.

The system features a pre-settable counter that can be precisely adjusted to control the number of cylinder rotations according to specific testing procedures. This comprehensive package includes a specially designed viewing cabinet for assessing test results under standard laboratory light sources, along with standard assessment photographs to ensure objective results. Built with a robust construction and high-quality components such as tungsten carbide points and bronze mace balls, this device guarantees consistent test repeatability in compliance with global standards such as ASTM D3939, GB/T 11047, and JIS L 1058. This equipment is an essential investment for quality control and textile research and development laboratories demanding data integrity and compliance with international industry standards.
