ShockWatch® Flex – When to Use the Flexible Housing for Tube Indicators

ShockWatch® Flex is a specialised housing designed to hold ShockWatch® Tube indicators on surfaces where standard Clip or MiniClip housings cannot be mounted. Its flexible construction allows it to conform to curved, uneven, or irregular surfaces, making it ideal for shipments that require impact monitoring but lack flat mounting areas.

What Is ShockWatch® Flex?

ShockWatch Flex is a bendable, durable housing that securely holds a ShockWatch Tube indicator. Unlike rigid housings, Flex can contour to the shape of the product or packaging, ensuring proper adhesion and visibility even on challenging surfaces.

  • Flexible design: Conforms to curved or uneven surfaces.
  • Durable material: Protects the Tube from accidental knocks.
  • Secure mounting: Typically applied using strong adhesive backing.
  • Ideal for irregular shapes: Perfect for pipes, cylinders, drums, and rounded equipment.

When Should You Use ShockWatch® Flex?

Choose ShockWatch Flex when your shipment has surfaces that are:

  • Curved – such as pipes, cylinders, or drums.
  • Uneven or textured – where rigid housings cannot sit flush.
  • Limited in flat mounting space – making Clip or MiniClip unsuitable.
  • Non-standard shapes – including machinery components or irregular equipment.

Flex ensures the ShockWatch Tube remains properly aligned and visible, which is essential for accurate activation and inspection.

ShockWatch Flex vs Clip vs MiniClip

  • Clip: Best for large, flat surfaces and maximum visibility.
  • MiniClip: Best for small or space-limited flat surfaces.
  • Flex: Best for curved, uneven, or irregular surfaces.

All three housings use the same ShockWatch Tube indicator, so your sensitivity level and activation method remain consistent across all options.
