The rotary drum in the ICI / Mace Snag Tester has a diameter of 82mm, which includes an outer rubber thickness of 3mm, and a width of 210mm. The use of these dimensions is critical in order to make certain that the snagging simulation will be consistent and reliable across all fabric samples.

The drum’s size allows it to be used with a variety of fabric types and sizes while providing enough surface area for the hammer to create snags along the fabric. The 82mm diameter guarantees that the drum rotates smoothly, maintaining a consistent speed and applying even pressure as the hammer moves unpredictably across the fabric. The 210mm width offers sufficient space for the fabric to be tested thoroughly, allowing multiple snags to form during the test.

These dimensions are designed to replicate real-world conditions where fabrics might encounter similar snagging scenarios, making certain that the testing process accurately reflects how the fabric will perform in everyday use. The size of the rotary drum is, therefore, a key component in providing accurate and meaningful results in snag resistance testing.
