Pipe Pull Force Data

Note: Pull force data generated from self-contained on-board strain gauge and data gathering computer mounted between pipe
lead end and reamer. Data samples taken at a rate of 10 per second. See picture below.

Left: The data in the graph above was
generated by our state-of-the-art, self-
contained force measuring computer capable
of measuring both tensile and compressive
loads. It is protected by a steel cylinder and
mounted on swivels at both ends. Data was
sampled 10 times per second. This leading-
edge technology has enabled Carlon to
determine the actual loading on the pipe as
it is being pulled through the ground. This is
the first known application of such high
technology to the development and
application of pipe for boring applications.
