Testing of foam materials

Product catalog summary
Overview
This document provides an overview of testing solutions for soft and hard polymer foams offered by Hegewald & Peschke Meß- und Prüftechnik GmbH. It details various testing machines and procedures for evaluating the properties of foam materials.

Universal Testing Machines
These machines are equipped with various accessories to perform compression and tensile tests on foam materials. Key procedures include:
  • Compression properties and hardness tests according to DIN EN ISO 3386 and DIN EN ISO 2439.
  • Tensile strength and elongation tests according to DIN EN ISO 1798.
  • Tear strength tests according to DIN EN ISO 8067.
Accessories include load cell displacement units, large movable compression plates, and round compression pads.

Special Testing Systems
These systems are designed for specific foam testing needs, such as:
  • Ageing tests and hardness measurements using combined systems (41-026-030) and testing machines (41-026-023) according to DIN EN ISO 3385.
  • Test rigs for foam and upholstered furniture, allowing tensile or compressive loading with adjustable height and lateral displacement.

Test Rigs for Foam Compression and Durability
These include:
  • Portal load frames for testing soft-elastic foams, focusing on hardness and compressive stress-strain properties.
  • Test rigs for mattress durability and hardness according to EN 1957, featuring high rigidity and automatic lifting mechanisms.

Universal Test Fields
These fields offer modular setups for flexible and standard-compliant testing of furniture and components, with pneumatic and electrical test axes for dynamic fatigue, ageing, and functional tests. Two control concepts are available: Calmar Pro (software-based) and Calmar One (PLC-based).

Spring Testing Machines
These machines are designed for compression testing with optional mandrels for guiding springs through the travelling crosshead.
