1、Designation: D 3939 09Standard Test Method forSnagging Resistance of Fabrics (Mace)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 3939; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in

4、vy or very stiff fabrics thatcannot be made to fit tightly on the drum and felt pad, and (3)tufted or nonwoven fabrics because the apparatus is designedfor woven and knitted fabrics.1.3 If after using this test method it is found to be too severefor your fabrics, an alternative method can be used, s

In case of refereedecisions, the metric units will prevail.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresp

Summary of Test Method4.1 A tubular

16、 specimen is placed on a cylindrical drum.Then a mace (spiked ball) bounces randomly against therotating specimen. Snags are produced to a degree affected bya variety of factors. The degree of fabric snagging is thenevaluated by comparison of the tested specimens with visualstandards that may be eit

17、her fabrics or photographs of fabrics.The observed resistance to snagging is reported on a scaleranging from 5 (no or insignificant snagging) to 1 (very severesnagging).5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is not considered satisfactory foracceptance testing of commercial shipments of fabrics

18、 becausethe between-laboratory precision of the test method is poor (see15.1).5.1.1 If there are differences of practical significance be-tween reported test results for two laboratories (or more),comparative test should be performed to determine if there is astatistical significant difference betwe

19、en them, using competentstatistical assistance. As a minimum, use the samples for sucha comparative test that are as homogeneous as possible, drawnfrom the same lot of material as the samples that resulted indisparate results during initial testing and randomly assigned inequal numbers to each labor

20、atory. The test results from thelaboratories involved should be compared using a statisticaltest for unpaired data, at a probability level chosen prior to thetesting series. If bias is found, either its cause must be foundand corrected or future testing for that material must beadjusted in considera

21、tion of the statistically significant differ-ences.5.2 This test method may be used for quality control testingof fabrics during manufacturing and product comparisons ofdifferent fabrics by manufacturers, retailers, and users. This testmethod may also be used by researchers to examine the effectof n

22、ew fibers, yarns, fabric constructions, and finishes on thesnagging resistance of fabrics.5.3 This test method may be used to test the snaggingresistance of most apparel and home furnishings fabrics.However, a different test method may be needed for differenttypes of fabrics and different end-uses (

23、such as towels, pants,and upholstery) (see 5.3.1).5.3.1 Some fabrics that may not be suitable for this testmethod are described in 1.2. Many open construction fabricscan be tested for snagging resistance using AATCC TestMethod 65. The snagging resistance of many pile floorcoverings can be tested by

24、Test Method D 1335. Test MethodD 5362 (Bean Bag) may also be considered as an alternativefor testing the snagging resistance of fabrics. This test methoddoes not apply to the ABC Snag Tester.5.4 Since fabric snagging can be affected by laundering ordrycleaning, it may be advisable to test the snaggi

25、ng resistanceof a fabric before and after laundering or drycleaning.5.5 The snagging resistance of a specific fabric varies withindividual wearers and general conditions of use. Therefore, itcan be expected that garments of the same fabric will show afairly wide snagging resistance spectrum after we

26、ar and muchgreater variation in wear than in replicate fabric specimenssubjected to controlled laboratory tests. This factor should beconsidered when adopting levels of acceptability for anyspecification that includes snagging resistance.5.6 Snags observed in worn garments vary appreciably innumber

27、and appearance. The appearance of a snag dependsparticularly on (1) the degree of color contrast between thesnag and the surrounding area of the fabric or (2) the presenceof long distortions or long protrusions. These conditions arenot evaluated when snagging is rated solely on the number ofsnags. S

28、ee Section 13 for a description of color contrast,distortion, and protrusion as used in this test method; and seeFigs. 1 through 3 in Test Method D 5362 for pictures of fabricdefects due to snagging. Because the overall acceptability of aspecific fabric is dependent on both the characteristics of th

29、esnags and other factors affecting fabric appearance, it isrecommended that fabrics tested in the laboratory be evaluatedwith regard to the defects that may be observed visually andnot rated solely on the number of snags developed. A series ofvisual rating standards (see 6.2.4) may be set up to prov

30、ide abasis for the ratings. The visual rating standards are mostadvantageous when the tested laboratory specimens correlateclosely in appearance with fabrics from a wear test, forexample, when tested laboratory specimens and fabrics from awear test show similar color contrasts. In the precedingexamp

31、le, a series of fabrics from the wear test would be a goodchoice for the fabric standards described in 6.2.4.2.6.

Sampling8.1 Lot SampleAs a lot sample for acceptance testing,take at random the number of rolls of fabric directed in anapplicable material specification or other agreement betwee

44、nthe purchaser and the supplier. Consider rolls of fabric to be theprimary sampling unit.8.2 Laboratory Sampling UnitAs a laboratory samplingunit for acceptance testing, take a full width swatch 1-m or1-yd long from the end of each roll of fabric in the lot sample,after first discarding the outermos

45、t layer of fabric. Whendrycleaning and laundering are to be performed, take addi-tional swatches for the laundering and drycleaning tests.8.3 SpecimensTest four specimens from each swatch inthe laboratory sampling unit. When drycleaning and launderingtests are to be performed, test four additional s

46、pecimens fordrycleaning and four additional specimens for laundering.9. Preparation of the Specimens9.1 When snagging resistance after laundering or dryclean-ing is to be evaluated, launder or dryclean the swatches asdirected in 9.1.1 or 9.1.2 before cutting the specimens.9.1.1 LaunderingLoad the wa
