1、FORD LABORATORY TEST METHOD BO 012-04 2001 0822 2001 0327 DYNAMIC FLEX FATIGUE TEST FOR FOAM AND FIBER PADS Revised Typographical corrections to section 14 A. Cockman Revised Editorial - no technical change A. Cockman Application Method A of this procedure is used to determine the load bearing prope

2、rties, loss of thickness and the amount of structural breakdown of polyurethane foam seating materials, such as topper pads and molded assem blies. Method B is used to evaluate the resistance of carpet insulating fiber pads to fiber separation, breakdown and destruction from dynamic flexing. Scope M

3、ethod A simulates conditions which contribute to breakdown of polyurethane foam, resulting in loss of load bearing properties and loss of thickness. A test specimen is measured for thickness under a specified load, mounted on the fixture shown in the illustration and subjected to dynamic fatigue by

4、compression and directional deformation. This is accomplished by rolling the specimen diagonally under constant load for a specified number of cycles. Specimen thickness under a constant load is obtained after a one hour recovery period following dynamic fatigue to determine loss in foam thickness a

5、nd load bearing characteristics. Method B simulates heel action on the carpet which could be a contributor to the breakdown of brittle fibers in the carpet underlayment. The test specimen is examined for fiber separation, breakdown and destruction after dynamic flexing. This flexing is accomplished

6、by subjecting a carpet and fiber pad composite to a specified number of reciprocating rubbing cycles with a metal heel simulator under a specified constant load. Conditioning and Test Conditions All test values indicated herein are based on material conditioned in a controlled atmosphere of 23 +/- 2

7、 OC and 50 +/- 5 % relative humidity for not less than 24 h prior to testing and tested under the same conditions unless otherwise specified.

Generally used as a headlining listing. 76 mm wide strips are required -

14、two pieces shall be 360 mm long and two shall be 430 mm long. This material is bonded to the base of the foam pad with latex base adhesive and is used to secure the test specimen to the platen with metal retainer straps.

Cut a test specimen 305 x 380 x 50 mm thick from a representative sample of current production polyurethane foam (slab or molded). The leng

16、th and width shall be measured with a tape or scale so that the dimensions are within +/- 6 mm. The samples shall be sawed with a scalloped blade. Sufficient time should be allowed for complete recovery. Four 75 mm wide pieces of cotton sheeting shall be required - two 360 mm long and two 430 mm lon

17、g. Bond the cotton sheeting strips to the bottom surface of the specimen with a solvent or water emulsion type of adhesive. Allow 50 mm of each strip to extend beyond the edges of the test specimen so that the specimen can be securely held in place on the base platen of the fatigue machine by the us

18、e of metal retainer straps. Condition the test specimen, undeflected and undistorted, at a temperature of 22 +/- 3 OC and in an atmosphere of 50 +/- 5 % relative humidity for at least 12 h before being tested. This 12 h minimum waiting period serves as a conditioner for the foam as well as a drying

19、time for the adhesive used to bond the sheeting 83 the foam. All subsequent tests should also be conducted under the above temperature and relative humidity conditions. All tests shall be performed a minimum of 7 days after the foam has been manufactured. Place the test specimen on the supporting pl

20、ate of the load deflection test apparatus. If the sample has one side cored or honeycombed, this face shall rest on the perforated plate. For specimens of uniform thickness, the position shall be such that the indentation will be made at the center of the specimen. For assemblies of varying thicknes

21、s, the area shall be selected which provides an approximate average thickness. In either case, the indentation area shall be suitably identified with a marking pencil so that subsequent indentation will be performed in exactly the same area. Deflect the test specimen ten times, using the 334 N load

22、at the 200 mm/ minute speed. The specimen shall then be allowed to rest in an undeflected and undistorted position for a period of 5 minutes.

23、 applying a preload of 4.4 N at 50 mm/minute and determine the height or thickness of the test specimen by means of the indicator. In the case of contoured pads, in order to achieve maximum free height accuracy, place a wooden template 38 x 50 x 380 mm in length under the center of the indentation a

24、rea. Template may be provided with locator pins to prevent movement during measurement. Indenter Foot Pad Tem p I ate 7. Within 1 minute of Step 6, apply and maintain a constant 222 N load at the rate of 50 mm/minute in the area previously deflected. Read and record the specimen thickness exactly 1

25、minute after a load of 222 N is reached. 8. Adjust the load on the dynamic fatigue machine roller to obtain a 133 N load (or load specified in the applicable ES-M specification), when the pivot arms are in the horizontal position. (See Figure 3 for method of weighing roller assembly.) Mount the test

26、 specimen on the base platen of the dynamic fatigue machine and secure by means of the cotton sheeting and metal retainer straps. 9. Operate machine so roller traverses foam specimen two or three times. Then stop machine and rotate drive pulley so roller is approximately in center of foam specimen.

27、Then adjust the height of the base platen so that the pivot arms holding the roller will be horizontal (use a level positioned on the pivot arm) when the roller is resting on the foam. (This step is important and assures that the load will always be constant at the start of the test.) IO. Set the co

28、unter to zero, start the machine and flex the sample for the required number of cycles. A standard test consists of 20,000 cycles (40,000 flexes). 11. After dynamic fatigue, condition the sample at 22 +/- 3 OC and 50 +/- 5 % relative humidity for 1 h (+ 1 O, - O minutes) in an undistorted and undefl

29、ected position. 12. Repeat Steps 4 through 7 of the test procedure. 13. Check the specimen for physical breakdown of the cellular structure by visual examination and comparison with unflexed specimens.

33、 and a threaded bit at the other end for mounting centrally to the roller carriage in a tapped hole located in the center of the load pan.
