Precision-Engineered Drum DesignThe ICI Mace Snag Tester utilizes four polished wooden drums mounted with sharp, spring-loaded metal maces. Each drum rotates at a steady 60 2 rpm, subjecting fabric specimens to consistent snagging forces. This engineered design allows for simultaneous multi-specimen testing, enhancing throughput and result reliability.
User-Centric Control and Safety FeaturesIntegrated features such as a digital cycle counter, programmable timer, and auto-stop function guarantee convenient operation and reproducibility. The robust SS construction, tabletop stability with vibration-dampening pads, and an acrylic transparent safety guard prioritize user safety and operational ease during high-frequency textile testing.
Complete Accessories and SupportEach tester comes with an official calibration certificate and comprehensive operation manual, aiding easy setup, calibration, and maintenance. The unit runs on a standard 220 V, 50 Hz electric supply, tailored to the specific needs of textile quality labs, research centers, and industrial environments.
FAQ's of ICI Mace Snag Tester:
Q: How does the ICI Mace Snag Tester evaluate fabric snag resistance?
A: The tester subjects fabric specimens to repeated snagging using sharp, freely rotating metal maces mounted on polished wooden drums. By rotating the drums at a controlled speed (60 2 rpm), it replicates natural snagging encountered in real-world use, helping determine a fabric's resistance to pilling and snagging.
Q: What types of materials can be tested with this device?
A: The ICI Mace Snag Tester is suitable for both knitted and woven fabrics. It accommodates standard specimen sizes as prescribed by ISO and ASTM snag testing protocols, ensuring broad applicability in textile quality control.
Q: When should I use the programmable timer and auto-stop features?
A: The programmable timer and auto-stop function are essential for setting exact snag test cycles based on standard or custom test protocols. Use these features to ensure consistent and repeatable results, particularly during batch testing or compliance assessments.
Q: Where is this tester typically used?
A: This tester is commonly deployed in textile quality control laboratories, research and development facilities, and industrial textile manufacturing plants across India and globally. Its reliable performance is suited for both routine quality tests and advanced research applications.
Q: What is the process for running a test with the ICI Mace Snag Tester?
A: Begin by mounting up to four fabric specimens on the drums in accordance with ISO/ASTM procedures. Set the desired test cycles and start the tester. After completion, the cycle counter and auto-stop will signal the test's end. Results are then visually inspected or measured as per applicable standards.
Q: How does the acrylic safety guard enhance operator safety?
A: The acrylic transparent guard protects operators from accidental contact with moving parts and maces during operation, ensuring safe use while allowing clear visibility of the testing process.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this snag tester in textile quality labs?
A: Its precise control, multi-specimen testing capability, stable tabletop design, and easy calibration facilitate accurate, reproducible results and operational efficiency. The tester provides valuable data for improving textile durability and quality, supporting product development and compliance with international standards.
