When choosing high-strength zip ties, tensile strength is crucial, as it indicates the maximum weight a tie can safely support before breaking. For example, a zip tie with a tensile strength of 120 lbs. will fail if used to hold anything heavier than 120 pounds. This factor is essential when securing heavy objects to prevent potential system failures or safety hazards.

Common Zip Tie Tensile Strengths:

  • 2.5mm width Cable Ties: 18 lbs.
  • 3.6mm width Cable Ties: 40 lbs.
  • 4.8mm width Cable Ties: 50 lbs.
  • 7.6mm width Cable Ties: 120 lbs.
  • 9.0mm width Cable Ties: 175 lbs.
  • 12mm width Cable Ties: 250 lbs.

Calculating the Required Number of Zip Ties:

To determine how many zip ties you need, divide the total weight by the tensile strength of the zip tie. For example, securing a 1,000 lb. load with 250 lb. tensile strength zip ties would require at least four ties. However, for added safety, using five or six ties is recommended. Proper spacing ensures that each tie supports no more than its rated capacity.
