Data Sheet

Attainable stability and
constructions:
1. General
If high bonding strength is required
ensure that only shearing stress is put
on the couplings, as resistance against
bending and peel stress is generally
lower. The resistance to tensile stress is
also not as high as to shearing stress.
Following connection types are
recommended:
double butt-strap connection
seamed joint
