Plastic & Foam Rebound Testing Equipment

Foams and soft polymers are judged by how much energy they return, and rebound resilience measures that directly, which is why it sits apart from fracture testing. NextGen supplies rebound testers for flexible foam, polyurethane, elastomers and rubber, working to ASTM D3574 and DIN EN ISO 8307 for ball rebound and ISO 4662 for pendulum tests.

The ball rebound tester drops a magnetic ball onto the specimen from a fixed height and calculates resilience in its console, while the pendulum tester measures elastic recovery and dynamic behavior, with optional specimen heating. Instruments are installed and calibrated on site, your team is trained on conditioning and reading results, and support continues for the life of the instrument.
