We're particularly testing these sleeve bolts the maker of this 26kN canyoning hanger gave us to see if we can get that rating, because our previous tests with 8mm wedge bolts were falling short at an average of 22kN...which isn't a surprise cause it's basically 8mm threaded rod with a hanger cutting into it.
Our results for the bolts in shear:
31.28 kN and 32 kN
Hex head sleeve bolts for testing:
8mm 304 stainless steel (A2-70) made by AoZhan
70mm long
Sleeve uses a 10mm hole

The hanger used:
316 Stainless Steel Hanger w/ 7mm Ring
Hole: 8mm

---Our break results: 33.90 kN
