JIS L-1058 Hook and Snag Tester
The Hook and Snag Tester is designed to evaluate the snagging resistance of woven and knitted fabrics. Based on the JIS L-1058 C Method, it simulates fabric surface contact with sharp objects to artificially induce snags. The tester provides an objective assessment of fabric durability against hooks, protrusions, and other snagging forces.
Application
This tester is suitable for:
(1) Testing woven and knitted fabrics for snagging resistance;
(2) Simulating contact with hooks, fasteners, or protruding objects;
(3) Quality control in textile production to prevent surface damage;
(4) Evaluating fabric performance for garments, upholstery, and industrial textiles.
Standards
The instrument complies with:
(1) JIS L-1058 C Method – Woven and knitted fabrics – Snagging test method.
Features
Rotating drum and needle cloth roller provide controlled contact for reproducible snagging tests.
Adjustable roller resistance (100g, 150g, 200g) via spring and weights for varying test severity.
Accurate drum rotation at ~45 min⁻¹ ensures uniform fabric exposure.
Compact, user-friendly design with easy specimen installation.
Enables objective comparison of fabrics for snag resistance in laboratory and production environments.Parameters
