Description
Overview
Foam constant load pounding machine used for the determination of loss in thickness and loss in hardness of flexible cellular materials intended for use in upholstery.
Provides a means of assessing the service performance of flexible cellular materials of the latex and polyurethane types used in load-bearing upholstery.
Test can be performed on both standard size test pieces cut from stock material and on shaped components.
Principle of the test is repeated indentation of a test piece by the indentor, smaller in area than the test piece, with a maximum load of 750 N reached during each cycle, running for 80,000 continuous load cycles.
A pneumatic cylinder is mounted inside the machine, raising the base platen to pound against the circular indentor.
A set of weights are fixed on top of the indentor to give a repetitive load against the sample.
Sample area is fully enclosed with limit switches that cease all operation if the door is opened for operator safety.
