Shoe stiffness tester

Main uses:

Evaluate the flexural rigidity of shoes: It can simulate the bending situation of shoes in the wearing process, and evaluate the flexural rigidity of shoes by measuring the deformation and force value of shoes in the bending process. This is essential to ensure the comfort and stability of the shoes.

Quality control: In the footwear production process, the shoe stiffness testing machine can be used to test the manufacturing quality of the shoe to ensure that the product meets the design specifications and quality standards. By comparing the stiffness properties of different batches or products from different manufacturers, potential quality problems can be identified in time.

Product development: During the development of footwear products, shoe stiffness testing machines can be used to test the influence of different materials, structures and designs on stiffness properties. This helps designers to optimize product design and improve product comfort and stability.

Material research: Through the shoe stiffness testing machine, the influence of different materials on the stiffness performance of shoes can be studied, which provides a basis for the selection and improvement of materials.

Applicable standards:

The testing of the shoe stiffness testing machine should follow the relevant industry standards or specifications to ensure the accuracy and comparability of the test results. Here are some common applicable standards:

GB/T 20991:

The standard specifies the test method for personal protective equipment shoes, including the test requirements for the stiffness performance of the shoes. Although the standard is primarily for personal protective shoes, its test methods and requirements can also provide a reference for other types of shoes.

QB/T series standard:

These may contain requirements or guidance related to the testing of the stiffness performance of the shoe. For example, QB/T 1002 and QB/T series standards are a number of standards for footwear products formulated by the China Light Industry Federation, and QB/T 2885 and other standards may involve the folding performance of leather shoes and outsole test methods

ISO series standards:

The International Organization for Standardization （ISO） has developed a number of standards for footwear products, which may contain requirements related to shoe stiffness performance testing. For example, standards such as SO 17707 May refer to testing methods for the folding properties of footwear.

ASTM series standards:

The American Society for Materials and Testing （ASTM） has also developed a number of standards for footwear products, which may contain test methods and requirements related to shoe stiffness performance testing.

Other relevant standards:

In addition to the above standards, there may be other standards or specifications related to shoe stiffness performance testing, which may vary according to specific application scenarios and needs. For example, some specific industry or region may have developed a shoe stiffness performance test standard for the characteristics of that industry or region.

In practical application, the tester should choose the appropriate test standard according to the specific needs and product characteristics, and follow the test methods and conditions specified in the standard for testing. At the same time, the tester should also regularly calibrate and maintain the test equipment to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results.
