Material testing
These records date from 2003–2006. Results apply to the samples and conditions tested at the time. Select an item to expand its data, methods and sources.
Moisture absorption & lossAbsorption 15.7% / loss −11.6%ITRI · 2005-03-17
ITRI, Union Chemical Laboratories · D-94-13-033 · Sample: Memo Sorb EF Foam
A 50 × 50 mm specimen was dried at 90°C for 1 hour, cooled to room temperature in a desiccator and weighed (w1), then tested under the following conditions.
| Test | Conditions & duration | Weight change |
|---|---|---|
| Moisture absorption | 25°C / 80% RH / 24 hours (w2) | 15.7% |
| Moisture loss | Then 25°C / 50% RH / 24 hours (w3) | −11.6% |
Moisture absorption = (w2 − w1) ÷ w1 × 100%; moisture loss = (w3 − w2) ÷ w1 × 100%. A negative value indicates weight loss. This measures humidity-related weight change and is a different test from liquid-water absorption of 5–15 times the material’s own weight.
Contact pressure distributionMaximum pressure 74 mmHgPressure test charts
The original 2D and 3D charts show contact pressure distribution with a maximum of 74 mmHg. The source does not state the testing institution, date or complete test conditions.
Unit: mmHg (millimetres of mercury). These values describe this measurement and do not establish clinical efficacy.
