10.15 Load ratings U-Handles
Load rating of cabinet U-Handles / Tubular handles in metal in ascending order of the standard numbers
An extensive series of tests were carried out with the cabinet “U” handles / Tubular handles listed below.
The handles were slowly loaded and relieved at room temperature with incrementally increasing force. After load relieve, a deTypeation irrelevant in terms of function and appearance remained at the listed values for F1 and F2 respectively. The breaking loads were in most cases multiples above the specified value.
Note:
The details given on load rating are non-binding guide values without any liability. In general, they do not constitute a warranty of quality.
The user must determine from case to case if a product is suitable for the envisaged use. Ambient factors and ageing may influence the specified values.
