Wire Tensile

Wire Tensile for 18x20 Gauge Stitching Wire

Wire tensile strength, measured in PSI, determines the force required to break the wire. Our stitching wire has a tensile range of 135,000 to 165,000 PSI, ensuring optimal stiffness for reliable stitching without excessive wear on stitching heads or trimmer knives. High tensile wires above 165,000 PSI can cause premature wear, while wires below 135,000 PSI may be too soft, leading to poor stitch formation.
