It is also used to determine the holding or breaking strength of prong ring attached snap fasteners onto garments to ensure button can be fixed on the garments properly. Consists of an Upper Snap Clamp, a Lower Fabric Clamp, and Force Gauge mounted on a Stand. The snap component is gripped by the Upper Snap Clamp and the garment is fixed to the lower Fabric Clamp and by turning the Top Flywheel an operator can apply a specific force and the holding force. The breaking strength can be recorded. Pull test is mandatory for any types of garments product use button.
