DIN 53512 — Rebound resilience of rubber (Schob pendulum)

← Back to all standards

DIN 53512 is the rubber and elastomer test method for rebound resilience using a Schob pendulum. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What DIN 53512 Covers

It measures the rebound resilience of rubber with a Schob pendulum, giving the percentage of energy returned after impact as a measure of elasticity.

How the Test Is Run

The Schob pendulum strikes the rubber specimen and its rebound height is measured against the drop, and the resilience is calculated as the returned energy fraction.

Why It Matters

Resilience characterizes rubber elasticity and damping; a calibrated Schob pendulum and controlled conditioning are used.
