Wire terminal, cable lug, wire crimp, solder, lugs etc., is widely use is various industry. The quality of a crimp joint depends on the strength of the joint as well as its electrical conductivity. Crimp joint testing can ensure the integrity of the final product. In general, wire connection lug testing can be broken into two categories; destructive pull testing and non-destructive pull testing. These tests both aim to determine a tensile force that the test wire can withstand. To meet the requirements of standard specifications, the tensile force that a wire can withstand must be greater than the minimum tensile strength defined by the standard.
