How does Centaur HTP ® stack up to "Imitation Centaur"?

We blazed the trail to the world’s first truly safe equine fencing systems. Human nature being what it is, when you develop something new, there will always be imitators. So before you plunk down your hard-earned money, take a look under the hood, so to speak, and see what you’re really getting.

On average, it takes 2.2 "imitation Centaur" to equal the strength of just 1 rail of Centaur!

Measurement Criteria

Tensile Impact = Amount of force, expressed in feet pounds per square inch, that it takes to break a specimen by a single swing of a calibrated pendulum. The higher this number, the more force a material can withstand before failure.

Tensile @ Yield = Amount of force, expressed in pounds per square inch, that when applied to a material, the material will no longer return to its original length or shape when the force is removed. The higher this number, the more stress a material can withstand before it is permanently damaged.

Tensile @ Break = Amount of force, expressed in pounds per square inch, that when applied to a material, the material breaks. The higher this number, the more stress a material can withstand before it is permanently damaged.

Elongation @ Break = The increase in original length at the breaking point when the maximum tensile strength is applied. It is expressed as a percentage of the original length.
