Left: The data in the graph above was
generated by our state-of-the-art, self­contained force-measuring computer, which
is capable of measuring both tensile and
compressive loads. It is protected by a steel
cylinder and mounted on swivels at both
ends. Data was sampled 10 times per
second. This leading-edge technology has
enabled Carlon to determine the actual
loading on the pipe as it is being pulled
through the ground. This is the first known
application of such high technology to the
development and application of pipe for
boring applications.
