Laboratory Tests Of Foam Performance PFA（实验室检测,PFA的泡沫性能）.pdf

INTOUCH is a regular publication of the Polyurethane Foam Association. It covers topics of interest to users of flexible polyurethane foam and is designed as a quick reference e for background information on key issues. To get more detailed information about a particular topic, consult a PFA member. Laboratory Tests Of Foam Performance This issue of IN•TOUCH® previews the work of the Joint Industry Polyurethane Foam Committee (JIPFC) addressing the committees work on physical testing for flexible foam. It provides observations that can help foam suppliers and end-users achieve greater consistency in laboratory tests on flexible polyurethane foam. The information is presented to encourage detailed study of the committees first report entitled, Flexible Polyurethane Foam Voluntary Test Standards And Performance Guidelines. IN•TOUCH® readers are urged to discuss foam performance and testing questions with their foam suppliers. It is the intent of the Polyurethane Foam Association to increase the understanding of flexible polyurethane foam and its performance capabilities. This bulletin provides the Polyurethane Foam Associations interpretation of portions of the JIPFC report and does not necessarily represent the views of the committee membership. Laboratory testing of flexible foam performance properties provides important information for flexible polyurethane foam producers and end-users of foam products. For foam producers, physical testing serves two primary purposes. Physical tests on statistically selected production samples help foam producers maintain quality control in the production process. Physical test results are also used to grade foam for sale. ®
