Overview

EN ISO 1798:2008 (ISO 1798:2008) specifies a standardized laboratory method for measuring tensile strength and elongation at break of flexible cellular polymeric materials (foams) by extending a test piece at a constant rate until rupture. Published by ISO and endorsed by CEN, this fourth-edition method replaces the 1999 version and adds a second test-piece type for comparative testing.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope: Determines maximum tensile stress (tensile strength) and percentage elongation at rupture for flexible cellular polymeric materials.
  • Test speed: Power-actuated grips travel at 500 mm/min ± 50 mm/min.
  • Test pieces:
    • Thickness: 10–15 mm.
    • Two cutter types: Type 1 (central width 13 mm; gauge length 25–50 mm typically) and Type 1A (central width 10 mm; gauge length 40 mm).
    • Orientation: cut so longitudinal axis is perpendicular to any predominant cell orientation (or report orientation).
    • Number: test enough pieces to obtain five valid breaks within the gauge length.
  • Conditioning:
    • Prepare and condition per ISO 23529.
    • Typical conditioning atmospheres: 23 °C ±2 °C/50 % ±5 % RH or 27 °C ±2 °C/65 % ±5 % RH for at least 16 h (with special provisions for time after manufacture).
  • Apparatus & calibration:
    • Force-measuring system accuracy per ISO 7500-1 (class 0.5 or 1).
    • Extensometer (mechanical or optical) if used must meet ISO 9513 accuracy for gauge length.
  • Calculations & reporting:
    • Tensile strength = maximum force ÷ initial cross-sectional area (based on average thickness and cutter width).
    • Elongation at break = (Lbreak − L0) / L0 × 100%.
    • Test report must reference the standard and include material type, test-piece type, conditioning details, thickness, median tensile strength and median elongation at break, and any deviations.

Practical applications and users

  • Manufacturers of polyurethane and other flexible foams use EN ISO 1798:2008 for product development and specification compliance.
  • Quality control laboratories routinely measure tensile properties to verify batch consistency and production changes.
  • Independent test labs provide certified material data to OEMs, suppliers, and regulatory bodies.
  • Design engineers and product specifiers use these tensile/elongation data when selecting foam for seating, bedding, packaging, insulation, and vibration-damping applications.
  • Useful for comparative studies (Type 1 vs Type 1A) and for establishing material acceptance criteria.

Related standards

  • ISO 23529 - preparation and conditioning of rubber/foam test pieces
  • ISO 7500-1 - verification of force-measuring systems in tensile machines
  • ISO 9513 - calibration of extensometers
  • ISO 1923 - measurement of linear dimensions for cellular plastics and rubbers

ISO 1798:2008(E) iv © ISO 2008 – All rights reserved Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 1798 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 45, Rubber and rubber products, Subcommittee SC 4, Products (other than hoses). This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 1798:1997), which has been technically revised. It also incorporates the Technical Corrigendum ISO 1798:1997/Cor.1:2003. The main change is the introduction of a second type of test piece (see Figure 1) and a comparison of the results obtained with the two test pieces (see Annex A).
