Foam quality is determined by stretching a piece of foam to capacity and measuring its length.

Foam quality is determined by stretching a piece of foam to capacity and measuring its length. Capacity refers to the percentage of stretching that can be done before the foam tears. Tensile strength is determined by measuring the force needed to tear a length of foam, with a nick made in the sample to start the tear.

Another test, hysteresis, measures how much compression and stretching a foam sample can take before it permanently loses its ability to spring back. The higher the hysteresis number, the higher the quality of the foam.

These tests apply to all types of foam regardless of their uses. They provide good data for determining the purposes suitable for particular densities and types of foam.
