ZIPPER LIFE TESTING DEVICE DVT FTY DVT FTY
Open-close tests are applied, for zippers, under the load.
INDUSTRIAL SECTORS OF USE
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
- Operating Voltage: 220 VAC, 50 Hz.
- Experiments are made for.life tests of zipper materials.
- Tests can be performed under the lateral or longitudinal force.
- Test is being performed up to a pre selected number.
- Numbers of tests may be 250, 500.or another.
- Zipper tensioning device is c/w the tester.
- Life tests are.performed for all kind of zippers (from very light up to the heavy).
Force to be applied to tape, by the type of zipper:
| Type | Lateral Force N. | Longitudinal Force N. |
| Very light | 7 | 5 |
| Lightweight | 10 | 9 |
| Medium | 16 | 14 |
| Medium-Heavy | 24 | 18 |
| Heavy | 30 | 24 |

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Zipper Life Testing Device is engineered for reliable open-close durability assessments under controlled lateral and longitudinal force applications. With a 220 VAC 50 Hz power requirement, it enables configurable testing cycles up to 250, 500, or custom counts. Ideal for testing metal and plastic zippers across various applications including textiles, bags, tents, and underwater gear, the device evaluates parameters such as chain resistance, breakage strength, and pull tab durability. Its built-in zipper tensioning mechanism and compatibility with standards like TS EN 16732, ASTM D 2061, and BS 3084 ensure standardized and repeatable test results.
