Safety testing equipment for Snaps, Buttons and Other Garment Attachments
The Snap Tester is used to determine the holding or breaking strength of prong-ring attached snap fasteners onto garments. The instrument consists of an Upper Snap Clamp, a Lower Fabric Clamp and Force Gauge mounted on a stand. The snap component is gripped by the Upper Snap Clamp and the garment is fixed to the Lower Fabric Clamp. By turning the Top Flywheel, the operator can apply a specific force and the holding force or the breaking strength can be recorded.
The Snap Tester has become a standard for safety testing in children and infant garments. Nike, AMC, Target, Federated, C&A, Hennes & Mauritz and GAP have specifically adopted the tester throughout their supply chains.
The standard package complies with the test requirements of most retailers. Please contact a member of the SDL Atlas sales team for configuration options to meet your specific needs.
