Application & Function

The Adjustable Water-Filled Test Dummy is designed for use in automotive, transportation, and seating system testing where accurate simulation of human weight distribution is required.

It can be filled with water or solid material to achieve the desired total mass and center of gravity, making it ideal for seat, child seat, and vehicle dynamic load evaluations.

This dummy provides a realistic mass substitute for human occupants in static and dynamic testing of seats, restraint systems, and vehicle interiors.
