1、Designation: D5362 03 (Reapproved 2012)Standard Test Method forSnagging Resistance of Fabrics (Bean Bag)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5362; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last re
2、vision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method determines the snagging resistance of afabric.1.2 Studies of fabric snagging have shown that this testmethod
3、 is suitable for a range of woven and knitted fabricsmade from textured or untextured filament yarns or spun yarnsor combinations of these yarns.2,3This test method is notsuitable for (1) open construction fabrics (such as a net)because the pins in the test chamber will snag the bean bagrather than
4、the specimen, (2) heavy or stiff fabrics that cannotbe made into a cover for the bean bag, and (3) tufted ornonwoven fabrics because the apparatus is designed for wovenand knitted fabrics.1.3 The values stated in either acceptable metric units or inother units shall be regarded separately as standar
5、d. The valuesstated in each system may not be the exact equivalents;therefore, each system must be used independently of the other,without combining values in any way. In case of refereedecisions the metric units will prevail.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, i
6、f any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.

17、 rated on a numerical scaleranging from 5 (no or insignificant snagging) to 1 (very severesnagging).5. Significance and Use5.1 Acceptance TestingThis test method may be used foracceptance testing of commercial shipments of fabrics becausethe precision is acceptable (see 15.1).5.1.1 If there are diff
18、erences of practical significance be-tween reported test results for two laboratories (or more),comparative tests should be performed to determine if there isa statistical bias between them, using competent statisticalassistance. As a minimum, use the samples for such a com-parative test that are as
19、 homogeneous as possible, drawn fromthe same lot of material as the samples that resulted in disparateresults during initial testing and randomly assigned in equalnumber to each laboratory. The test results from the laborato-ries involved should be compared using a statistical test forunpaired data,
20、 at a probability level chosen prior to the testingseries. If bias is found, either its cause must be found andcorrected, or future test results for that material must beadjusted in consideration of the known bias.5.2 This test method may be used for quality control testingof fabrics during manufact
21、uring and product comparisons ofdifferent fabrics by manufacturers, retailers, and users. This testmethod may also be used by researchers to examine the effectof new fibers, yarns, fabric constructions, and finishes on thesnagging resistance of fabrics.5.3 This test method may be used to test the sn
22、aggingresistance of most apparel and home furnishings fabrics.However, a different test method (see 5.3.1) may be needed fordifferent types of fabrics and different end-uses (such as towels,swimwear, slacks, and upholstery).5.3.1 Some fabrics which may not be suitable for this testmethod are describ
23、ed in 1.2. Many open construction fabricscan be tested for snagging resistance using AATCC TestMethod 65. Many heavy or stiff fabrics can be tested forsnagging resistance using Test Method D3939. The snaggingresistance of many pile floor coverings can be tested by TestMethod D1335.5.4 Because fabric
24、 snagging can be affected by launderingor drycleaning, it may be advisable to test the snaggingresistance of a fabric before and after laundering or dryclean-ing.5.5 The snagging resistance of a specific fabric varies withindividual wearers and general conditions of use. Therefore, itcan be expected
25、 that garments of the same fabric will show afairly wide snagging resistance spectrum after wear 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 th
26、at includes snagging resistance.5.6 Snags observed in worn garments vary appreciably innumber 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) thepresence of long distortions or long protr
27、usions. These condi-tions are not evaluated when snagging is rated solely on thenumber of snags. See Section 3 for a description of terminol-ogy such as color contrast, distortion, and protrusion See Figs.1-3 . Because the overall acceptability of a specific fabric isdependent on both the characteri
28、stics of the snags and otherfactors affecting fabric appearance, it is recommended thatfabrics tested in the laboratory be evaluated with regard to thedefects which may be visually observed and not rated solely onthe number of snags developed. A series of visual ratingstandards (see 6.7) may be set
29、up to provide a basis for theratings. The visual rating standards are most advantageouswhen the tested laboratory specimens correlate closely inappearance with fabrics from a wear test; for example whentested laboratory specimens and fabrics from a wear test showsimilar color contrasts. In the prece
30、ding example, a series offabrics from the wear test would be a good choice for the fabricstandards described in 6.7.2.Also a point rating system may beFIG. 1 A Snagged Specimen With Many Protrusion But NoDistortionsD5362 03 (2012)2used that considers the number of the snags and the appearanceof the
31、snags. (See 13 for additional information about snags,protrusions, distortions, and color contrasts. Also, see Figs.1-3).6. Apparatus and Materials6.1 Bean Bag Snag Tester7, as shown in Fig. 4. Eachrotating cylinder (2.1 6 0.3 rad/s or 20 6 3 r/min) is fitted witha snagging basket which is a removab
32、le framework of eightbaffle bars attached at each end to plastic disks. Each baffle barhas a series of nine pins protruding from it. Each baffle bar islocked in the plastic disks so that when a baffle bar is exactlyat the bottom of the cylinder, an angle of 0.5 6 0.1 rad or 306 5 exists between the
33、pins on that baffle bar and a theoreticalhorizontal line passing through the end of the baffle bar.6.1.1 Bean Bags7, filled with shot and each weighing 450 610gor1.06 0.02 lb.Aminimum of two bean bags is required,but six bean bags are suggested for efficiency.6.2 Specimen Template, made of approxima
