- 2. Mattresses Chairs Product Description Mattress Compression Tester F0024 The Mattress Compression Tester is used to evaluate a degree of firmness common within the mattress and foam industries, either in the laboratory, or on the production line. This universal measurement of firmness and hardness is based on a physical property called the indentation force deflection (IFD) and is calculated by determining the force required to deflect the test piece a percentage of its original thickness using a circular indenter. The circular indenter foot applies a force, while also recording the degree of indentation. To compare test results, test pieces must be of the same size and thickness. The whole article may be used if moulded shapes are being tested. Standards AS 2281 AS 2282.8 ASTM F1566 ASTM D3574 -- Test B ISO 3386:1984 ISO 2439 BS EN 1957:2000 GB 10807 JIS K 6400 Applications Copyright 2020 IDM Instruments Pty Ltd.

- 3. Software Package The Mattress Compression Tester offers a variety of software features that allows programming of parameters, operational control, and real-time display of the on-going test. This software package allows the operator to conduct a wide range of tests with an almost limitless array of test parameters and displays test information when used with a compatible PC. The PC based control system uses the Universal Tester program developed by IDM Instruments Pty Ltd. The Test Configuration is prepared for each test sample type. This procedure is fully automated. The test scripts as well as the operating parameters are entered in the Configuration Panel to run a test. Values including the test type, sample piece, sample size, standard reference and many more values can all be entered. They can then be saved and/or printed for later use. Once the Test Configuration menu has been programmed, “Start” button is pressed, initiating the test. The results of the test are displayed on the PC in real time. Features: • Data Sampling is adjustable from 1-200,000Hz • Position or Load control • Test parameters displayed with graph simultaneously • Real time graphic display of data • Overlay display of data curve possible during test • Selectable graphical display presentation • ISO and ASTM Test Methods programmable • Data can be sent to Excel • Other test methods can be programmed by the operator • Out of range stop • Cyclic testing with data recording during cycle • Auto return after a test is selected • Calibration File to calibrate the instrument • Statistical analysis & Printable Reports • Windows based software Sample Test Screen Copyright 2020 IDM Instruments Pty Ltd.
