Key Selection Criteria Variables such as exposure to extreme temperatures, salt spray, and weather have differing effects on the performance of stainless steel and aluminum. Each of these factors contributes to the useful life of a cable tie, marker plate, or tag. Use the following sections as a guide to select the optimum Pan-Steel® Solution for your application.
PAGE 9
Material Selection for Salt Spray Resistance Panduit cable ties were subjected to salt spray testing for 2,000 hours at 95°F (35°C). Both materials showed no signs of corrosion. The 316 Stainless Steel had trace surface staining and is recommended for mission critical applications. The 304 Stainless Steel had moderate surface staining and is recommended for general applications.
PAGE 10
Strength for Application Split Mandrel Cable tie design, material selection, and installation tooling determine the resulting strength of a system. Use the following table as a guide to determine the strength of various Panduit stainless steel cable ties and strapping for your applications. The split mandrel test fixture is used to measure loop tensile strength and retained tension of an installed cable tie.
