High Tensile Do’s and Don’ts

 

There are a number of ways in which the strength of the material can be categorised, regardless of the industry in which they are used such as Hardness, Brittleness, etc. and these factors have a direct or indirect effect on the strength of the material. There are materials that are able to withstand extreme pressures, and at one point, when they reach their limit, they are not able to bend or deform, but they simply break.

 

Meanwhile, some materials are not designed to bear much pressure, which means that after a certain point they begin to bend or deform but do not crack. Depending on the application of the material, strength and breaking properties of the material will be assessed in order to determine how durable it is. An tensile strength tester is a tool that is used to determine the properties of materials such as rubber, metal, plastic, etc., by testing their tensile strength. 

 

Do’s and Don’ts

 

– Don’t attach wires tight to line posts:

 

Each line post must be able to float above the wires attached to it. A high tensile wire needs to be able to react according to its intended behavior in order to maintain an elasticity effect, to preserve the desired performance. It allows the wire to be bouncy and springy as a result. A hi-tensile wire of 12.5 gauge will stretch about 2% of its length – then it will return to its initial tension – after that it will begin to bend.

 

This must be allowed to take place! Even though 2% doesn’t sound like much, in a quarter mile there are 27 feet, so it doesn’t seem like much of a difference. The use of this device becomes “super beneficial” when circumstances such as trees or limbs falling on fences, wildlife breaking through fences, feral animals running livestock through fences, etc., arise. The wire must be able to pass through all the connections to the line posts in order to operate properly.

 

– Different gauges of fence wire:

 

It really is best to use the same gauge of fence wire throughout all of your fence systems. Resistance is a concept that has been around for quite some time. A pulse of electricity travels down the fence wires, and every time there is a joint or connection, a little resistance is created, as a result of the electric pulse traveling down the wires. Furthermore, if the wire is rusty, it makes a lot of resistance itself due to the rust itself. It is well known that 17 gauge wire has a much higher resistance than 12.5 gauge wire.

 

You can think of it as water in a pipe wouldn’t run a mile of 1/2″ pipe and switch to 1″ pipe and then back to 1/2″ pipe, would you? I understand that you have this roll of old telephone wire that you bought at a sale years ago, and you want to put it to good use.
