Step-by-Step Testing Guide
1. Specimen Preparation
Cut foam samples to the right size and condition them at room temperature to match test requirements. Proper preparation avoids inconsistent results.
2. Calibration
Before starting, calibrate the tester to ensure accuracy. This includes zeroing the load cell and verifying crosshead speed and displacement settings according to your test standards.
3. Compression Cycle
Use the machine’s motorized crosshead to compress the foam at a controlled speed, following ASTM D3574 or ISO 2439 protocols. The system records indentation hardness and deflection force data.
4. Tensile Run
Switch to tensile grips to test the foam’s stretch and tear resistance per ISO 1798 or DIN 53579. Pneumatic clamps hold samples securely during the tensile cycle for precise measurement.
5. Data Analysis
The touchscreen interface displays real-time graphs and stores test data. Export your test reports easily in multiple file formats to analyze foam physical properties or send to quality control teams.

Educational Blog and Buyer’s Guide
Guide to Foam Hardness Testing: IFD vs ILD
If you’re new to foam testing, understanding the difference between IFD (Indentation Force Deflection) and ILD (Indentation Load Deflection) is key. Both measure foam hardness, but they’re often used interchangeably in the U.S. IFD is the force needed to compress foam by a certain percentage, indicating its firmness. ILD is basically the same test but named differently, depending on region or industry. Our Foam Hardness and Tensile Tester handles both, giving you precise IFD/ILD measurements to make sure your foam meets quality and comfort standards.
Simple Tensile Strength Test Procedures
Tensile strength testing checks how much stretch and force a foam sample can withstand before breaking. Here’s a quick rundown of the steps we follow:
- Prepare clean, uniform foam specimens.
- Calibrate the tester for accurate force and speed.
- Mount the sample with pneumatic grips to avoid slipping.
- Run the tensile test by pulling the foam until it tears or reaches its limit.
- Collect and analyze data using real-time graphs and export options.
This ensures you get reliable data on foam durability and tear resistance, which is crucial for upholstery, medical cushions, and packaging applications.
Top Foam Testing Standards You Should Know
Following recognized standards is important for consistent and trusted results. Our tester supports the most widely accepted foam testing standards in the U.S. and internationally like:
- ASTM D3574: Covers foam resilience, compression, and tensile tests.
- ISO 2439: International standard for foam indentation hardness.
- ISO 1798: Testing foam tensile properties.
- DIN 53579: German standard for foam tear resistance and hardness.
Using these standards helps you meet industry requirements and customer expectations with confidence.
