ITC: Impact Test



The Impact Test is exactly as it sounds: the testing machine drops a weight onto a test sample and we measure the effect-primarily height loss.
The impact this has on your bedding set is what we're here to find out. The impact this will have on your customer satisfaction can't be ignored.
The ASTM procedure dictates a 175 pound impact load of a conical-shaped platen from a prescribed height until a 3/4" deformation is achieved. But our custom designed machine is capable of much more. We can perform several alternative tests by varying weight, platens, and angular impacts.
