This balloon has a story for you
To make sure your ball can withstand all your stresses and strains, we've put it through a series of laboratory and field tests.
Too light? Too heavy? The weight is standardized...
Your balloon should weigh between 125g and 155g.
What size, what circumference?
The size of this balloon is between 47.0cm and 49.0cm.
A round ball, really?
We measure the ball's sphericity at 4,500 different points and look at the deviations observed.
If the deviation exceeds 2%, our engineers are tasked with improving the sphericity to guarantee a regular rebound.
Maximum pressure loss test: we tell you...
We inflate the balloon to the recommended pressure (i.e. 0.5 bar).
72 hours later, the balloon should have lost no more than 15% of its pressure.
This also means that it's perfectly normal for a balloon to lose pressure after a few days.
We also tested the balloon's water absorption ...
In the laboratory, we simulate playing conditions in the rain by soaking the ball in 2 cm of water on a pivoting support while applying 250 compressions.
At the end of the test, the ball must not have gained more than 15% of its weight.
