Technical Paper - How is Rod Shear Strength Measured?
Reinforcement pins are commonly used on frac plugs to secure the mule shoe to the end of the mandrel. For this application, it is critical that the transverse shear strength of the pin is accurate so designers can calculate the correct number of pins required and build in the desired safety factor. The Gund Company always tests N180 rod using ASTM standard techniques.
