Determination of Minimum Tensile Strength
The minimum tensile strength is a critical selection criterion for cable ties. It expresses how much loading a cable tie can bear. This minimum tensile strength is determined in accordance with the Military Specification and Standards of the USA. The test procedure/conditions as below is according to UL/IEC 62275:
- Conditioning of the test samples
- Construction of the test apparatus
- Positioning of the sample on a split test mandrel
- Test speed of the tensile machine
