How To Test The Performance Of Brass Threaded
Inserts?
The producers and makers of brass threaded
inserts use different methods to check the
performance of the inserts. They take help of
three methods- tensile strength method,
rotational torque method, and rotational and
tensile applied opposite headed end method.
Each of these methods involves different tools
and techniques to test the performance of the
inserts. In this article, we will discuss about
them briefly and make you understand how to check
the performance of the threaded inserts used in
different applications.

The Tensile Strength (Pull-Out)
The axial force is needed to pull the Insert out
of the plastic material. You can perform this
test using a specialized tensile testing machine.
Professionals recommend using a load curve for
analysis job. Rotational Torque In this method,
you need to rotate the insert in the plastic
material. While performing this, the friction
between the screw head and mating component
offers an extra safety factor. You can use a
calibrated torque wrench for this testing method.

Rotational And Tensile Applied Opposite Headed End

• This method is well-suited for high tensile load
  applications. You need to give apt consideration
  to friction between the screw head and mating
  part.
• Factors That Influence Insert Performance
• Insert type
• Design
• Quality of insert features
• Plastic specifications
• Design and quality of the plastic components
• Installation method and quality

Manufacturers intend and design the inserts to
maximize and balance tensile and rotational
torque performance. They pay special attention to
knurl and thread quality as it helps in enhancing
performance further. Quality control helps in
assuring the consistency of performance. Also,
it is important to practice correct installation
settings for good performance of insert. Improper
installation may put the system at risk and can
have devastating effects on performance. This is
how manufacturers of brass threaded inserts check
and test the performance of their products. If
you also want to try such methods, ask for
