Core Density : specimen of regular shape without skin
(core : the internal portion of a molded part, free of skin)
2) Section Density : specimen with skins on the top and bottom surface.
cut from a portion free of voids and defects

2) Procedure
IRGL
Preflex the foam force before beginning taking measurements.
compress the foam with 330N (4mm/sec) and wait 6 min.
2. Contact the foam with a 4.5 N force and measure the thickness (0.83 mm/sec)
110N force ¡æ 220N force ¡æ record the thickness
The thickness at 4.5, 110,220N after 60s and length, width, and thickness of the specimen.
