Specifications:
According to test Standard: BIFMA X5.1-2002, Test No.13,14, 20 Applicability:
This test applies to all chairs with armrests.

Purpose of Test: The purpose of the test is to evaluate the ability of a chair armrest to
withstand stresses caused by applying vertical forces or outward forces or repetitive
loading on the armrest(s)

Loading capacity:

1.Test No. 13 Arm Strength Test- Vertical - Static
a) Functional Load: apply a force of 890N(200lbf) for one (1) minute.
b) Proof Load: apply a force of 1334N(300lbf) for one (1) minute.

2. Test No. 14 Arm Strength Test – Horizontal - Static
a) Functional Load: apply a force of 445N(100lbf) for one (1) minute in the outward direction.
b) Proof Load: apply a force of 667N(150lbf) for one (1) minute in the outward direction.

3. Test No.20 Arm Durability Test - Cyclic
Simultaneously apply a force of 400N(90lbf) to each armrest at a 10°±1°angle.
Test cycles: 60,000 at a proper rate 10 ~ 30cycles per minute.

Features:
. Safety protection – automatic detection of breakdown point while the test specimen

     breaks. Automatic stop once the test is complete.
. Equipped with safety cover.
. High Precision – Forces are measured with a precision proportion valve via a

     pneumatic valve driver. The pneumatic input range is within 1kg/cm2 ~ 8kg/cm2

     being able to maintain high precise constant force. Adopt high accuracy and prec-

     ision pneumatic  proportion valve to ensure test stabilities and low error.
. Selectable units of system – kg, N, lb
. Easy to Operate – The machine is operated via the simple and corresponding POD

     (programmable operation display) system for easy setting and test.
. Test report is printed once complete test.
. Conforms to national standard – Meets national standard requirement.
