F0023 - Digital Foam Porosity Tester

The Digital Foam Porosity Tester is an instrument for monitoring the porosity of flexible cellular polyurethane. The machine determines the ease with which air passes through a cellular structure. Airflow values may be used as an indirect measurement of certain cell structure characteristics.

A flexible cellular test piece, 50mm x 50mm x 25mm, is placed in a cavity over a vacuum chamber and a specified constant differential air pressure is created. The rate of airflow required to maintain this pressure, is the airflow value. 

The Foam Porosity Digital Tester meets the following standards:

• AS 2282.14
• ASTM D3574 - Test G
• ISO 7231
• BS EN ISO 7231
• DIN EN ISO 7231
• EN ISO 7231

IDM's Crease & Stiffness Tester model C0039 and Cutter model C0016 has been released by IDM Instruments and comes in a new design. IDM’s precision cutter is designed to assist in the easy and accurate cutting of sample specimens for both crease stiffness and bending stiffness (resistance) testing. Benefits of Crease & Stiffness Testers include: ■ Consistency ■ Increased productivity ■ Decrease in waste material ■ Profit growth IDM’s precision cutter is designed to assist in the easy and accurate cutting of sample specimens for both crease stiffness and bending stiffness (resistance) testing. Now available with standard RS232 and software, the IDM Crease and stiffness tester can automatically capture the output of results to a PC where stiffness/crease ratios can be calculated, test results saved, and test reports created and printed. This makes the CST even more easy to use with accurate precision results.

MINIFLEX CLD Why measure foam hardness?   All foamers measure the density of their product. Not all foamers, however, measure foam hardness. Foam hardness has a major influence on the comfort factor of the furniture, bedding or automotive product in which it is used. Variation in hardness is one of the most common complaints from customers. Trying to judge the hardness of a foam sample by hand-feel is almost impossible. Every person will have a different opinion. To ensure consistent Quality Control of foam production, it is necessary to have an industry recognised foam hardness test procedure that will give an accurate, recordable value. The foam industry measures foam hardness by various different tests. These can be grouped as either ILD (Indentation Load Deflection) or CLD (Compression Load Deflection) type tests. The test procedure first measures the thickness of the foam sample (pre-load). It is then compressed 3 times to 30% of its original t
