MK – 1090 FOAM FATIGUE TESTER

What does it do?

A foam fatigue tester is a device used to perform fatigue testing. This device is used to measure how durable materials are under continuous repeated load applications. It is widely used especially in sectors such as automotive, aerospace and defense industries.

The main function of the foam fatigue tester is to apply load to measure how durable materials are under repeated cycles of stress or deformation. This device monitors the material’s wear process at predetermined load or deformation levels and determines how long it can last. This data can be used in the design and manufacturing process of materials and can help improve the reliability of critical parts, especially those used in vehicles or aircraft.

How is it used?

The Foam Fatigue Tester is a device that requires specialized equipment and expertise. It should be used by professionals or laboratory technicians who perform materials testing. However, in general, the use of this device involves the following steps:

  • First, it is decided under which type of load the material will be tested. This type of load may depend on factors such as stress or deformation.
  • The material is placed in the load application section of the machine. This section can be adjusted to provide the position in which the material will be tested.
  • The test parameters are set on the machine’s control panel. These parameters may vary depending on factors such as load level, test frequency and load application time.
  • The test is started and the device applies load to the material at the specified load and time intervals. During the test, the deformation or strain on the material is measured and recorded.
  • When the test is complete, the data is analyzed and conclusions are drawn about the fatigue properties of the material.

This process is a general guideline for fatigue testing of materials. However, since the properties of each material are different, the test parameters and procedure must be customized according to the material and the test purpose.

Complied Standards?

The Foam Fatigue Tester is a test device used to determine the fatigue behavior of foam materials. Therefore, appropriate standards must be set depending on the industry in which the machine will be used and the intended test standard.

In particular, appropriate standards for foam fatigue testing may include:

  • ASTM D3574: Standard Test Methods for Flexible Cellular Materials – Slab, Bonded, and Molded Urethane Foams
  • ISO 3385: Cellular plastics and rubbers – Determination of fatigue by constant-load pounding
  • ASTM D3576: Standard Test Method for Cell Size of Rigid Cellular Plastics
  • ISO 1856: Flexible cellular polymeric materials – Determination of fatigue by constant-load pounding

These standards define appropriate test methods for determining the fatigue properties of foam materials and provide guidance in determining test procedures. In order to ensure comparability of test results, it is important to select the appropriate standards and to implement the test procedures correctly.
