Swaging questions

[Brion Toss]

Hello,
I also would like to see any evidence of sealant affecting swage strength. It would have to be really compelling, because I definitely have seen assiduously drip-waxed swages splitting open from internal corrosion in the tropics, the same territory where sealed swages stay just fine. Show me the numbers.
ps,
There also seems to be a logical disconnect between metal-to-metal integrity and the effect of internal sealant in a swage; with Sta-loks and Hayn's, for instance, we've seen reliable test results up at or near the wire's actual break strength, even though the compression on these fittings is far less than with any swage.
