COMPRESSION SET APPARATUS
| To determine this ability of the rubber sole to maintain its thickness when subjected to a compressive stress, the material under test is compressed in a compression set apparatus having the specified dimensions of pressure foot and having constant stress. This is an important consideration for assessing sole materials, which are subject to static and dynamic compression loads in the course of standing or walking. |

Description
Compression Set Apparatus
The Compression Set Apparatus is used to determine the ability of rubber sole materials to maintain their thickness after being subjected to a specified compressive load. The GTX-CS5 is designed for testing the compression set characteristics of micro cellular rubber soles and heels.
The apparatus can accommodate 12 test specimens simultaneously. The test specimens have a specified diameter of 30.0 mm ± 0.2 mm, while the test load is 140 kg and the maximum load capacity is 160 kg.
Compression set testing is useful for evaluating sole materials that are subjected to compressive loads during applications such as standing and walking.
