Expert Commentary
Part of the comprehensive Strength Tests for Zippers. Figure 1 refers to the Slidermouth Expansion test. This assesses the resistance of the slider to being pried open. The hardware involves a specialized Expansion Mandrel that is inserted into the slider. MTO’s fixture is designed with precision-ground tips to ensure the force is applied exactly to the slider’s internal flanges. This is a critical safety test for zippers used in high-stress applications like luggage, protective gear, and aerospace flight suits.
