Test conditions and protocols

Pinet has a wide range of hinges to cover the needs of its customers.

Pinet product data allows pre-selection depending on the application. This data refers to static mechanical limits of resistance. It can be the result of laboratory tests or numerical simulations (FEM). Products are tested until any part of the Hinge breaks.

Product cycling and lifespan data are the result of actual tests carried out in our laboratories at an ambient and controlled temperature of 20°C unless otherwise specified. Dynamic tests are done with normed and characterised openings internally. They allow you to choose the most suitable hinges for your application.

All PINET digital tools and product selection aids are developed with realistic input data and commonly used mechanical assumptions. As with any simulation or testing tool, these values should be verified and tested with the actual application to confirm the pre-selection.

The use of this information is the sole responsibility of the customer. PINET cannot be faulted for any issues during tests carried out in situ. All values are given on an informational basis only as they are derived from laboratory tests or the results of numerical simulations (FEM).
