Load–deflection & proof loadOffice chairs — static load, proof and durability tests on seat, back and arms (force-application frames).
Filter by material, test type or standards body, or search a designation directly. Where a method has an equivalent under another body, both are shown.
Office chairs — static load, proof and durability tests on seat, back and arms (force-application frames).
Textile floor coverings — bond strength determination (delamination of backing).
Tuft bind of pile yarn floor coverings (force to pull a tuft from carpet backing).
Static tests of lumber in structural sizes.
Strength tests for zippers — crosswise strength, slider lock holding, pull-off of puller.
Flexible cellular materials — slab, bonded and molded urethane foams (IFD, CFD, tensile, tear, compression set).
Strength of adhesive bonds in shear by compression loading (wood block shear).
Domestic seating and storage furniture — static load requirements.
Domestic seating and storage furniture — static load requirements.
Domestic and non-domestic seating — strength and durability static load tests.
Domestic and non-domestic seating — strength and durability static load tests.
Beds and mattresses — durability rig companion; firmness characterization via ISO 2439-type indentation on UTM.
Wood-based panels — modulus of elasticity in bending and bending strength.
Particleboards and fibreboards — internal bond (tensile strength perpendicular to plane).
Bunk beds and high beds — static strength of frame, guard rails and ladder.
Leather — adhesion of surface finish coating.
Sewn seam strength and maximum force to seam rupture of woven fabrics.
Tear properties of fabrics — trouser, wing and tongue-shaped specimens.
Tensile strength and elongation at break of flexible cellular polymers.
Leather — stitch tear resistance (upholstery and footwear seam design).
Indentation hardness (IFD/ILD) of flexible cellular materials — seating and mattress foams.
Seating and mattress foam — IFD/ILD hardness, CFD and compression set.
Stress-strain characteristics in compression of flexible cellular polymers (low- and high-density).
Tear strength of flexible cellular polymeric materials.

Thickness, width and expected break force decide the grip as much as the method does. Send us those and we will specify the frame, the load cell and the fixture around them.
