The fixed guide rod in the ICI / Mace Snag Tester has a working width of 125mm and a diameter of 10mm. These specifications are significant because they serve an important role in guiding the hammer’s movement as it moves across the fabric sample during the snagging test.

The 125mm working width allows the rod to accommodate a variety of fabric sample sizes, providing enough space for the hammer to move freely and create snags along the fabric’s surface. This width is essential for allowing the fabric to be tested thoroughly so that the snagging action covers a significant portion of the material.

The 10mm diameter of the guide rod provides the necessary stability and support for the hammer mechanism, making sure that the hammer moves consistently and predictably during the test. This stability is crucial for maintaining the accuracy of the snagging simulation, leading to reliable and repeatable test results. The dimensions of the fixed guide rod are, therefore, integral to the overall performance and accuracy of the ICI / Mace Snag Tester.
