Static tests
COMPRESSION LOAD DEFLECTION
_
Tests the material’s resistance to compression caused by the foot while walking.
STANDARD: UNE EN ISO 3386/1
COMPRESSION SET
_
Certifies durability of the material under very extreme conditions.
STANDARD: ASTM D3574 TestD (70℃-50%)
REPEATED COMPRESSION
_
Determines the life cycle of the insole with its characteristics at full performance.
STANDARD: SATRA TM156
CUSHION PROPERTIES
_
Measures the capacity of the material to distribute impact energy across a particular surface.
STANDARD: SATRA TM159 (Cushion Energy walking/running)
SHOCK ATTENUATION
_
Measures the insole’s capacity to mitigate impact on the heel. Shows the degree of protection for the foot and joints.
Measures the insole’s propulsion capacity in the metatarsal zone.
STANDARD: SATRA TM156
ABSORPTION/DESORPTION
_
Measures the amount of perspiration the insole can absorb and how long it takes to dry.
STANDARD: UNE EN ISO 20344
DELAMINATION
_
Determines the force necessary to separate the insole material from the base.
STANDARD: UNE EN ISO 2411
