Shear Strength

Understand the shear strength capabilities of KLAMFLEX couplings, including load limits for suspended pipelines and support requirements for Ranger Couplings.

Shear Strength

Couplings up to DN1500mm are normally capable of withstanding a shear force corresponding to the weight applied by a 10m length of coupled pipe that is full of water, i.e. a length of pipe suspended between two couplings.

Support Requirements

Rangers are not suitable for this duty and the pipe should be supported to prevent sagging.
