Expert Commentary
The Resilience (Ball Rebound) Test. A steel ball is dropped from a specific height onto a foam specimen, and the height of the rebound is measured. This is a measure of surface bounciness. MTO provides an automated Drop Tube with an optical sensor that captures the peak of the first rebound. For engineers, this is a Quick-Screen quality control tool used to detect batch-to-batch variations in the chemical formulation of the foam, which can occur due to humidity or temperature changes during the pouring process.
