The above figures (exc. right hand columns) are approximate and have been extracted from the graphs contained in BS G 178 Part 2, within the conductor ranges 0.132mm2 to 109mm2, for information and test solution guidance only.
Actual pull-off forces may vary and we can evaluate and demonstrate testing solutions with your test specimen, tailored to your specific testing requirements.
