Gear Clamps Tensile Strength Test - Video

Written by Risa Bedard | Sep 9, 2019 11:10:00 AM

Gear Clamps are used in a wide variety of applications to ensure connections are tight and secure. They work by clamping one item to another, ie a pipe to an insert fitting. As the screw is tightened, the band shrinks around the pipe. One of our test procedures is a tensile strength test, measuring the amount of force it takes for the clamp to break.

Watch the video below to see our test procedure and see how Boshart's Gear Clamps out perform the competitors.
