Significance and Use5.1 The test procedures provide a standard method ofobtaining data for research and development, quality control,

21、acceptance and rejection under specifications, and specialpurposes.5.2 The data obtained by these test methods are applicableto the material under conditions of the particular test and arenot necessarily the same as obtained in other environments inuse.6. General Test Conditions6.1 Tests shall be co

22、nducted under known conditions oftemperature and humidity or as specified in the individual testprocedure. The product shall be conditioned undeflected, andundistorted at the temperature and humidity of test for at least12 h before being tested. In cases of dispute, the tests shall bemade at a tempe

23、rature of 23 6 2C and in an atmosphere of 506 5 % relative humidity.6.2 It is recommended for referee purposes that all testsshall be performed 7 days or more after the foam has beenmanufactured.7. Sampling7.1 When possible, the completed manufactured productshall be used for the test specified. Rep

24、resentative samples ofthe lot being examined shall be selected at random as required.7.2 When it is necessary or advisable to obtain specimensfrom the articles, as in those cases where the entire sample isnot required or adaptable for testing, the method of cutting andthe exact position from which s

25、pecimens are to be taken shallbe specified. The density and the state of cure may vary indifferent parts of the finished product, especially if the article isof complicated shape or of varying thickness, and these factorsaffect the physical properties of the specimens. Also, thedensity is affected b

26、y the number of cut surfaces on thespecimen. If a test specimen is die cut, sufficient time should beallowed for complete recovery of the thickness across the fullwidth of the specimen.7.3 When the finished molded product does not lend itself totesting or to the taking of specimens because of compli

27、catedshape, small size, metal or fabric inserts, adhesion to metal, orother reasons, molded test slabs as agreed upon between thesupplier and the purchaser shall be prepared.7.4 When differences in test results arise due to the difficultyin obtaining suitable specimens from the finished parts, thesu

28、pplier and the purchaser may agree upon an acceptablelocation to take the specimen.8. Measurement of Test Specimens8.1 Measure the length and width with a scale or tape. Takecare not to distort the foam.8.2 Measure thickness up to and including 25 mm using adial-type gage with a minimum foot area of

29、 650 mm2. Hold thepressure of the dial foot to 170 6 35 Pa (Note 2). Thicknessesover 25 mm may be measured with a dial gage, a slidingcaliper gage, or as specified in 8.1. When a sliding caliper gageis employed, make the gage setting with the gage out of contactwith the foam. Pass the specimen throu

30、gh the previously setgage: the proper setting shall be the one when the measuringfaces of the gage contact the surfaces of the specimen withoutcompressing it.NOTE 2For soft foams having compression force deflection valuesless than 1.65 kPa, the pressure on the dial foot shall not exceed 100 Pa.8.3 T

31、he scale, tape, or gage shall be graduated so as topermit measurements within 61 % of the dimensions to bemeasured.8.4 Unless otherwise specified, results shall be the mean ofthe measurements.TEST ADENSITY TEST9. Scope9.1 This test method covers determination of the density ofuncored foam by calcula

32、tion from the mass and volume of thespecimen. The density value thus obtained applies only to theimmediate area from which the specimen has been taken. Itdoes not necessarily relate to the bulk density of the entiremolded pad.NOTE 3ISO 845 is a similar test, but there are technical differences.10. T

33、est Specimen10.1 Core DensityA representative specimen of regularshape, circular or square without skins or densification lines,not less than 1000 mm3in volume, shall be cut from a portionfree of voids and defects and as near as possible to the sectionfrom which the tension and tear specimens were t

34、aken.10.2 Section DensityArepresentative specimen with skinson the top and bottom surface measuring at least 0.1 m2in areaby full-part thickness shall be cut from an area free of voidsD3574052and defects and as near as possible to the location from whichthe tension and tear specimens were taken. Whe

35、n thesedimensions are not possible, the largest representative portionas agreed upon between the supplier and the purchaser shall beused.11. Number of Specimens11.1 One specimen shall be tested, unless otherwise agreedupon by the supplier and the purchaser.12. Procedure12.1 Determine the mass of the

36、 specimen within 1 %.12.2 Determine the dimensions of the specimen in accor-dance with Section 8, and calculate the volume.13. Calculation13.1 Calculate the density in kilograms per cubic metre asfollows:Density 5 M/V 3 106(1)where:M = mass of specimen, g, andV = volume of specimen, mm3.14. Report14

37、.1 Report the following information:14.1.1 Density to the nearest 0.1 kg/m3, and14.1.2 Type of specimen, core or section.15. Precision and Bias15.1 See Section 137 for Precision and Bias statements.TEST B1INDENTATION FORCE DEFLECTIONTESTSPECIFIED DEFLECTION16. Scope16.1 This will be known as the ind

38、entation force deflectiontest and the results as the IFD values. This test consists ofmeasuring the force necessary to produce designated indenta-tions in the foam product, for example, 25 and 65 % deflec-tions. (Appendix X3).NOTE 4ISO 2439 is a similar test, but there are technical differences.17.

39、Apparatus17.1 An apparatus having a flat circular indentor foot 203mm in diameter connected by means of a swivel joint capableof accommodating the angle of the sample to a force-measuring device and mounted in such a manner that theproduct or specimen can be deflected at a speed of 50 to 500mm/min.

40、The apparatus shall be arranged to support thespecimen on a level horizontal plate which is perforated withapproximately 6.5-mm holes on approximately 20-mm centersto allow for rapid escape of air during the test. Special supportfor contoured molded pads shall be perforated in the samemanner as the

41、flat plate unless agreed upon between thesupplier and the purchaser. Pads longer than the base plate shallbe supported from distortion at the 4.5-N contact force.18. Test Specimen18.1 The test specimen shall consist of the entire productsample or a suitable portion of it, except that in no case shal

42、lthe specimen have dimensions less than 380 by 380 by 100mm. Specimens less or different than 100 mm in thicknessshall have the thickness noted on the test report.18.2 The IFD values for molded products are dependent onthe specimen dimensions. Higher values are generally obtainedfor specimens that r

43、etain all molded surfaces.19. Number of Specimens19.1 One specimen shall be tested, unless otherwise agreedupon by the supplier and the purchaser.20. Procedure20.1 Place the test specimen in position on the supportingplate of the apparatus. If the product has one side cored orhoney-combed, this face

44、 shall rest on the perforated plate. Thespecimen position shall be such that whenever practicable theindentation will be made at the center of all articles, exceptwhere another location is agreed upon by the supplier and thepurchaser.20.2 Preflex the area to be tested by twice lowering theindentor f

45、oot to a total deflection of 75 to 80 % of the full-partthickness at a rate of 250 6 25 mm/min. Mark the location ofthe test area with a pen by circumscribing the indentor footwhile under a 4.5-N force. Allow the specimen to rest 6 6 1min after the preflex.20.3 Bring the indentor foot into contact w

46、ith the specimenand determine the thickness after applying a contact force of4.5 N (Note 5) to the indentor foot. Indent the specimen at 506 5 mm/min 25 % of this thickness and observe the force innewtons after 60 6 3 s. Without removing the specimenincrease the deflection to 65 % deflection, allowi

47、ng the force todrift while maintaining the 65 % deflection, and again observethe force in newtons after 60 6 3s.NOTE 5For super-soft foam, foam with a 25 % IFD less than 40 N, areduction of pressure on the indentor foot shall be allowed. Sufficientcontact force to make an accurate initial thickness

48、measurement isrequired.21. Report21.1 Report the force in newtons required for 25 and 65 %indentation or other indentations (Note 6). These figures areknown as the 25 % and 65 % IFD values, respectively. Reportalso length, width, and thickness of the specimen, if non-standard and the ratio (support

49、factor Appendix X3)of65%to25 % IFD values.NOTE 6Indentation deflection tests, other than 25 and 65 %, as well asa 25 % return value (25 % RT), may be specified as agreed upon betweenthe supplier and the purchaser.22.
