Expert Commentary
Measures the Shear Strength (Dynamic Method) of Hook and Loop Touch Fasteners. This is the Velcro shear test. Two strips are mated and pulled parallel to the surface. The engineering focus is on the Mating Pressure. MTO provides a standardized Rolling Weight to ensure the hook and loop are engaged with a consistent force before testing. The peak force recorded is a key durability metric for the aerospace, medical, and tactical gear markets.
