Mattress Cornell Tester

Mattress rolling tester assesses all types of mattresses' durability, including the innerspring, boxsprings, latex, or polyurethane mattress through simulating the repeated load application occurring during the long-term use.

This test simulating the repeated application of loads and/or movement of components occurring during long-term use and assessing the strength of the mattress under such conditions and mainly intended to evaluate the change of the properties of the mattress caused by repeated loadings.

UIC 564 Smoke Visibility Tester
Manufacturer: KDM Global | Railway Smoke Density & Visibility Testing Equipment

The UIC 564 Smoke Visibility Tester is a specialized instrument designed to evaluate the optical visibility of materials during combustion, as per the UIC Code 564-2 OR standards. This equipment is crucial for railway component testing where smoke opacity and passenger evacuation visibility are safety-critical.

At KDM Global, we manufacture this equipment to meet the stringent requirements of railway fire safety, especially for applications under EN 45545-2 and UIC 564-2 protocols. Our robust, lab-grade tester is ideal for manufacturers, R&D labs, and quality assurance teams working with train interiors, electrical insulation, cables, and upholstery materials.

Test Principle:
The UIC 564 Smoke Visibility Tester assesses smoke obscuration by burning or heating a sample material in a controlled chamber. A light beam is passed through the chamber, and the reduction in light transmission is recorded. The test simulates how smoke may impact visibility during a real fire, which is critical for evacuation planning and fire hazard assessment in railway environments.

Applications:
Railway coach interiors ceiling, wall panels, seat covers

Cables and wiring insulation for locomotives and wagons

Foam cushioning, mattresses, and upholstery used in coaches

Plastic & polymer components in passenger compartments

Electrical panel boards and enclosures
