Load Deflection Test Apparatus (Indentation Hardness) improved version, model PUF-2

It is designed to determine hardness number and load quotient of the polyurethane foam. It consists of an arrangement wherein the load is indicated on a digital indicator connected to the electronic load cell & the deflection is also indicated on the digital indicator. An arrangement is provided for switching off the motor automatically when the desired compression of the foam is reached. The whole equipment is built on a rigid fabricated steel frame. The machine operates on 220/230Volts, 1 Ø A.C. supply.

Technical Data

Indenter Flat circular indenter having an area of 323cm²
Load measurements On a digital indicator
Speed of movement approx. of indenter. Between 2 to 3mm per second.


Pounding Tester, model PUF-5

For polyurethane foam consists of a loading frame having flat metallic platform for keeping the test specimen and a circular indentor of specified shape and size which is repeatedly lifted off and pressed against the foam flat with a motorized movement of the indentor.
