Ball Rebound Tester Helps Customer Measures the Elasticity of Their High End Athletic Wear Material

The microcomputer-controlled ball-rebound-tester is designed for the determination of the rebound elasticity of foam materials acc. to ASTM D 3574 and DIN EN ISO 8307.

A quick, easy and reliable measurement can be done with the ball-rebound-tester because of its innovative technique. This top-quality unit is ideal for the quality control of foam materials during the production and in the acceptance department.

A two-lined display reads the measured value and median value in %. The testing device is equipped with a serial interface.

The customer intends measuring the elasticity of their high-end athletic wear material and needs a highly accurate instrument to obtain reproducible results throughout their product testing. This data is used in determining whether new materials are suited for their high-quality product line and whether existing materials maintain their elasticity after extensive use.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

What does a ball rebound tester measure?

A ball rebound tester measures rebound elasticity in foam materials. It helps quality teams evaluate how well a material returns energy after impact, which is useful for product development, comparison testing, and acceptance checks.

Which standards are used for ball rebound testing?

Ball rebound testing for foam materials can follow ASTM D3574 and DIN EN ISO 8307. The right standard depends on the material type, product requirement, and customer or regulatory specification.

Why is ball rebound testing useful for athletic wear materials?

Ball rebound testing helps compare elasticity between new and existing foam materials. The results can support decisions about comfort, performance, durability, and whether the material remains suitable after repeated use.
