Can you recommend a specific model for testing zippers of a certain size range?

Certainly! The appropriate model of zipper test equipment will depend on the specific size range of zippers you need to test. Here are some recommendations based on the size range of the zippers:


1. For testing small zippers: If you need to test zippers with a small size range, for example, zippers used in clothing or accessories, the Qualitest QZ-301 Zipper Tester is a good option. It is capable of testing zippers with a width of up to 13mm and can perform both single and repetitive opening and closing cycles.

2. For testing medium-sized zippers: If you need to test zippers with a medium size range, for example, zippers used in bags or luggage, the TESTEX TF413 Zipper Tester is a good option. It is capable of testing zippers with a width of up to 25 mm and can measure the maximum load capacity of the zipper, the opening and closing forces required to operate the zipper, and the number of cycles a zipper can withstand before failure.


3. For testing large zippers: If you need to test zippers with a large size range, for example, zippers used in industrial or heavy-duty applications, the Tinius Olsen Zipper Tester is a good option. It is available in different load capacities and can be customized to meet specific testing requirements, including testing zippers with a width of up to 50mm or more.


It is important to note that these recommendations are general guidelines, and the appropriate model of zipper test equipment for your specific application may vary. Please consult with the manufacturer to determine the best model of equipment for your needs.
