1、Designation: D3939/D3939M 11Standard Test Method forSnagging Resistance of Fabrics (Mace)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D3939/D3939M; the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.

2、A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval. A superscript 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 is suit

3、able 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 points on the mace will snag the felt pad ratherthan the specimen,

4、(2) very heavy 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 ca

The values stated ineach system may not be

6、 exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem must be used independently of the other, withoutcombining values in any way. In case of referee decisions, theSI units will prevail.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibil

16、 textile terms used in this testmethod, refer to Terminology D123.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A tubular 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 fab

17、ric snagging is thenevaluated by comparison of the tested specimens with visualstandards that may be either 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

18、This test method is not considered satisfactory foracceptance testing of commercial shipments of fabrics 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)

19、,comparative test should be performed to determine if there is astatistical significant difference between 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

20、 resulted indisparate results during initial testing and randomly assigned inequal numbers to each laboratory. 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, eith

21、er its cause must be foundand corrected or future testing for that material must beadjusted in consideration 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 manufa

22、cturers, 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 snaggingresistance of most apparel and home furnishings fabri

23、cs.However, a different test method may be needed for differenttypes of fabrics and different end-uses (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 res

24、istance using AATCC TestMethod 65. The snagging resistance of many pile floorcoverings can be tested by Test Method D1335. Test MethodD5362 (Bean Bag) may also be considered as an alternative fortesting the snagging resistance of fabrics. This test methoddoes not apply to the ABC Snag Tester.5.4 Sin

25、ce fabric snagging can be affected by laundering ordrycleaning, it may be advisable to test the snagging 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

26、expected 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 anyspecific

27、ation that 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) the presenceof long distortions or long

28、 protrusions. These conditions arenot evaluated when snagging is rated solely on the number ofsnags. See 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 D5362 for pictures of fabricdefects due to snagging.

29、 Because the overall acceptability of aspecific fabric is dependent on both the characteristics of thesnags 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 o

30、n the number of snags developed. A series ofvisual rating standards (see 6.2.4) may be set up to provide 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

31、 laboratory specimens and fabrics from awear test show similar color contrasts. In the precedingexample, a series of fabrics from the wear test would be a goodchoice for the fabric standards described in 6.2.4.2.6.
