The Difference Between Linear Breaking Strength and System Strength

Linear Breaking Strength is measured by the vertical force to a single strap until it breaks. Linear Breaking Strength is indicated in terms of “daN or kgf “. System Strength is a complete loop of strap connected with buckle. The quality of the buckle is one of the important parameters that determines the system strength of the strap. The most important factor affecting the system strength is the strength of the Joint. The System Strength of Polyester Corded Strapping is a very important parameter in terms of securing the package. As an example, for Composite strapping, the strength of the system is approximately 60% greater than linear breaking of the composite strap. For Textile strap, the ratio is 40% greater than the linear breaking strength and for woven strap, the ratio is 50% greater than the linear breaking strength. The parameters that effect the Joint Strength is if the Joint Strength is high, then the System Strength is also higher. The Joint Strength depends on the type of strap that is used and of course the quality, the machines type that is used, the buckle type and quality. The conditions of the environment that the strapping is done is also important (dust, temperature, humidity). The operator also needs to know how to correctly do the strapping. Co-Strap as a manufacturer of polyester corded straps and buckles has great expertise in this field and advises its customers accordingly. Do not hesitate to contact us for further detail.
