What is elongation?

Elongation is the measure of the extent to which the foam can be stretched before it breaks and is expressed as a percentage of its original length. Elongation is measured at the same time, as tensile strength is determined; therefore, the sample size is the same.

The word elongation means elasticity, this means how far a metal will bend for example on our HTS-528 under the pressure of 100,000 PSI before it will break it will bend 30% this is good because it can handle more stress and vibration. Also usually the more the elongation the better the penetration of the material past impurities.
