Holding Force Deratings for Material and Contact

Condition:

  • Target Material – Low Carbon Steel: Derating 1.0
  • Target Material – High Carbon Steel: Derating 0.9
  • Target Material – Ferritic Stainless Steel: Derating 0.5
  • Target Material – Cast Iron: Derating 0.45
  • Contact – Perfect Flat: Derating 1.0
  • Contact – Imperfect Flat: Derating 0.9
  • Contact – V Pole on Round: Derating 0.5
  • Contact – Multi-Point: Derating 0.5

Calculation Examples

Example A: V pole contact on 2mm thick low carbon (mild) steel
tube: 67.1 x 0.5 x 1.0 = 33.55 kgf Flux Force

Example B : Imperfect flat contact on cast iron that is over 10mm
thick: 256.0 x 0.45 x 0.9 = 103.68 kgf Flux Force
