Application
This test applies to all types of chairs.
Purpose of Test: To evaluate the ability of a chair to withstand heavy impact forces on the seat.
This tester is designed for dynamic and cyclic durability seat test.

Seat Impact Testing Machine use aluminum frame,elegant appearance.

The tester is suitable used for impact testing of all kinds furniture,such as home furniture,hotel furniture,restaurant furniture etc.Seat Impact Testing Machine simulates furniture in process of daily use and habits misuse,test the strength of desktop parts by accidental impact load.

Technical parameters

-Diameter 406mm(16'')

d.Stopper - to restain the chair base from sliding

e.2 operation mode:

-Electronic predetermined counter(EPC)-6 digit counter allow the bag to be released and lifted for the specific cycles (seating durability test-100,000 cycles)

-Timer- to lift the bag once it is rested on the seat for/minute(drop test)

f.The specfied size is to accommodate testing for multiple seating table and storage as well

i.Drop test-Dynamic (ANSI/BIFMA. X5.1-2017, clause 7)

ii.Seating durability tests-Cyclic only(ANSI/BIFMA X5.1-2017, clause 10.3)

iii.Drop test-Dynamic-for unit with seating surfaces(ANSI/BIFMA X5.9-2012,clause 7.2)

iv.Durability tests for units with seating surfaces-cyclic impact (ANSI/BIFMA X5.9-2012,clause 7.3)
