Foam Resilience Series

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Foam Resilience Series Model F0030 by IDM Instruments is designed to measure the resilience of flexible cellular polyurethane using a steel ball drop test. The series includes two models: F0030-M1 (standard) and F0030-M2 (digital).
Features:
  • Both models include a Ø16mm chrome steel ball, adjustable feet, height adjustable test tube, and magnetic ball release.
  • The M2 model features a 7” touch screen, test report generation in Microsoft Excel, statistical data analysis, a USB port for saving reports, and a magnetic rod for ball retrieval.
Functionality: The tester drops a steel ball onto a foam sample, measuring the rebound height as a percentage of the drop height. The M1 model requires manual observation, while the M2 model automatically captures and displays results digitally.
Applications: Suitable for testing flexible cellular polyurethane and visco foams.
Standards: Complies with various international standards including AS 2282.11, ASTM D3574 – Test H, ISO 8307, JIS K 6400, BS EN ISO 4651, and DIN EN ISO 4651.
Specifications:
  • F0030-M1: Dimensions: H 620mm, W 250mm, D 290mm, Weight: 7kg.
  • F0030-M2: Dimensions: H 620mm, W 375mm, D 290mm, Weight: 6kg, Power Supply: 110/240V @ 50/60Hz, 7” Touch Screen, USB Port.
Operation: The M2 model allows data saving and statistical calculations (min, max, mean, deviation) on the touch screen.
Connections: M2 model operates on 110/240 VAC @ 50/60Hz.
Related Items: Foam samples can be prepared using the Sample Band Saw and tested for porosity with the F0031 Automatic Foam Porosity or for compression/tear with the F0025 Universal Testing Machine.
Options: Spare Ø16mm steel ball and JIS K6400 Method A tube length and drop height adjustments are available.

Foam Resilience Series-1

Foam Resilience Series IDM’s Foam Resilience Tester determines the resilience of flexible cellular polyurethane. A steel ball is dropped vertically on to a test piece and the rebound height measured and expressed as a percentage of the height dropped. The F0030 -M1 is an economical resilience tester, where the steel ball is mechanically dropped, and the rebound result is captured by eye against the scale. The F0030-M2 is a full digital model where once the ball is dropped the result is automatically captured on the touch screen, with the advantages of great repeatability, digital test results, statistical data and a USB port for exporting. The Digital Foam Resilience Tester uses an electronic sensor to detect the impact of the steel ball on the foam sample. Using data from the repeated impact, the IDM Software calculates the rebound value. After each test, the rebound value is displayed on the touch screen.
