The Foam Constant Load Pounding Machine is used to determine the loss in thickness and loss in hardness of flexible cellular materials intended for use in upholstery.  This test provide a means of assessing the service performance of flexible cellular materials of the latex and polyurethane material.

The machine is manufactuerd to test foam, seating and polyurethane as per AS 2282.12, ISO 3385 and ASTM D3574 standards.  The principle of the test is repeated indentation of a test piece by an indentor, smaller in area than the test piece.  The maximum load reached during each cycle is 750N, whilst running the machine for 80,000 continuous load cycles.
