Foam Sponge Hardness Tester

The sponge hardness tester applies a fixed pressure to the sponge sample through an indenter, measures the indentation depth, and converts it into a hardness value. It is used to detect the softness or hardness of foam materials and to control quality consistency in the production of sofas, mattresses, and packaging materials.
Selection
When selecting, consider the thickness of the tested object and the testing standards; the indenter size must match the material structure. Ensure the measurement range covers the hardness range of the sample, and the calibration cycle aligns with the frequency of use. The operation interface should be clear and easy to read, and the indenter movement should be smooth and free of jitter.
