SDL Atlas has re-introduced the Bean Bag
Snag Tester. Just as some fashions come back into style, so has the Bean Bag
Snag Tester.
Different snagging tests that have been
available over the past decade have not been satisfactory for all fabric types.
As retailers searched for a solution, they went back in time to the Bean Bag
Snag Tester, says SDL Atlas.
As introduced, the Bean Bag Snag Tester tumbles
fabric pillows containing a weighted bean bag within two separate test
cylinders to determine the snagging and picking characteristics of knitted
fabrics.
SDL Atlas discontinued this instrument
years ago because of low demand, however, now it is being specified by several
retailers. The test is described in ASTM D5362.
The leading textile testing equipment supplier
emphasizes that if customers are having trouble with snagging test results, they
contact the company solutions expert for consultation.
SDL Atlas has offices and experts in the
United States, United Kingdom, Hong Kong and China, plus agents serving over
100 countries.
