Dynamic Loading Machine for Carpet Testing

The WIRA Dynamic Loading Machine simulates the effects of walking on carpets, specifically focusing on 'bedding-down' through compression and shearing actions. It conforms to British and International standards, utilizing a controlled weight drop mechanism to test carpet resilience. The machine's design includes specific dimensions and a method for creating uniformly compressed areas on carpet specimens.

The WIRA Dynamic Loading


Machine gives information on
the 'bedding-down' of the pile,
by simulating two of the main
actions of walking: compres-
sion, and the shearing effect
at the edge of the shoe.
ERGONOMIC DESIGN Test Method
The weight has two rectangu-
Conforms to:
lar steel feet, 51mm by 6.5mm
and 9.5mm deep, attached to

By means of a pivoted arm, a

Width: 500mm allows it to fall freely from a
Depth: 500mm controlled height on to the car-
Height: 370mm pet specimen every five sec-
Power Consumption 250W onds. The steel plate to which
the specimen is clamped, is
slowly and continuously tra-
versed in such a way that
there is 3.2mm movement
between each drop of the
weight.

There is thus a half-overlap


by the steel feet at each
impact. A complete traverse
forwards and back is complet-
ed after every 25 impacts, pro-
ducing a uniformly compressed
area 50mm wide by 90mm
long.
