Hoop
stress can be determined using the following
equations (figures 15–18).1
• V = Length of Boss (figure 14) = .400
• I = Interference Fit (figure 15)
• W = Geometry Factor (figure 16)
• H = Hoop Stress (figure 17)
• E = Material Modulus
• μ = Frictional force between materials
• lEngage = length of engagement between the
shaft and the hub
Press Fit Example Problem
Figure 14 is an example of a press fit problem.
It is limited to a number of cavities such
as (4, 8, 16, 32, 64).
Step each 90° bend in the system down in size
(from sprue to gate) approximately 1.5mm
(1/16") to reduce pressure drop.

Apart from manufacturing optimization, Versaflex HC helped Finetool
to avoid coring—the tendency for a material to produce tiny fragments
when penetrated by a needle—with 6mm IV infusion spikes and needles
16 gauge and smaller, even after multiple uses.
