Three factors are calculated :- -
The maximal first pressure, which indicates the firmness / tenderness level
The maximal second pressure, which indicates the capacity of the material to recover its origin configuration (Form memory
The non-springiness index in percentage
The curve profile indicates the gumminess of the material
