Overview

The Fabric ICI Mace Snag Tester is a specialized instrument designed to evaluate the snagging resistance of outerwear knitted and woven fabrics, particularly chemical fiber filaments and textured yarn fabrics. This Tester simulates normal wear conditions by rotating a drum with a chain-suspended hammer, making it ideal for textile manufacturers and quality control labs.

Key Features

Quickly detects fabric snagging tendencies under normal wear using a rotating drum with four test rollers.
Equipped with an observation box and comparison pattern cards for assessing different fabric structures.
Features a tungsten carbide-headed hammer ball, controlled by a predetermined electronic counter for consistency.
Includes four wool felt cylinders and rubber rings, enhancing test accuracy and durability.
Offers a reliable method to compare snagged samples against standardized rating charts.
