Use Our Heat Shrink Calculator to Determine Key Application Details

The heat shrink calculator below can be used as an aid to determine the effective pressure during the tape winding application before shrink force and also provides material yield based on the dimensions of your part, the width of tape, and the overlap. If you have any questions about this or the results you receive, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Additional Information

A number of variables affect compressive force on your part. Learn more here. However, to ensure that you’re using the most ideal shrink tape possible, we recommend connecting with our engineers to discuss your application. We can even ship a sample to you to test in your production environment. To request a sample, get in touch with us here.
