Compressional properties of a 2 cm2 area, are measured with the
KES-FB3 Compression Tester at 0 to 50 gf/cm2 (10 gf/cm2 for
nonwoven materials).
RC - compressional resilience, percent
The extent of recovery, or the regain in thickness, when the force is removed.
Higher RC values indicates a high percent recovery from being compressed.
EMC - compressibility, percent
Initial thickness measurements compared to the thickness of the sample at maximum
applied force.
A higher value indicates greater compressibility.
Thickness - a 2 cm2 area measured at 0.5 gf/cm2 and reported in millimeters.
