How We Test
Testing philosophy
As essential front-line safety devices, anchors should be tested to their limits and under a variety of conditions. XYZ Air Anchor testing focuses on setting, holding, breakout resistance, sudden impact, and performance over different seabeds including sand, mud, clay, weeds, gravel, and small rock bottoms.
Each design is analyzed and refined to maximize performance under demanding conditions. Field testing confirms the performance observed in development and simulation.
- Anchor setting and breakout testing under controlled scope and load.
- Sudden impact testing simulating dynamic load and direction change.
- Planing and motion testing to evaluate behavior while a vessel is in motion.
- 360° load testing to confirm holding performance under changing pull direction.
What is evaluated
- Anchor setting and hold.
- Breakout resistance.
- Behavior under sudden impact.
- Performance while the vessel is moving.
- Performance under multiple pull directions.
- Consistency across different seabed conditions.
Materials and structure
XYZ Air anchors are manufactured from marine-grade materials including 2205 Duplex stainless steel, 316/L stainless steel, and 17-4PH stainless steel, selected for demanding marine use.
Testing is intended to reflect the demanding use expected from a serious marine anchor system.
