Compliance to the above specifications is based upon
testing according to the Cordage Institute Standard Testing Methods
for Fiber Rope and/or ASTM D-4268 Standard Methods of Testing Fiber
Ropes.
Weights - Are average and may vary +/- 5%
Tensile strengths - Are approximate average for new, unused ropes.
To estimate the minimum tensile strength of a new rope, reduce the
approximate average by 15% (Cordage Institute defines minimum
tensile strength as two standard deviations below the average
tensile strength of the rope).
SUNLIGHT/UV:
Very little degradation from UV. Can be used outside over long term if inspected regularly.
CHEMICALS:
Good resistance to most minerals / organics, acids, weak alkalis, bleaches and other oxidizing agents and most solvents.
HEAT:
Melting point of Polyester is 480°F with progressive strength loss above 300°F.
DIELECTRICS:
Good resistance to the passage of electrical current. However in rope form, dirt, surface contaminants, water entrapment and the like can significantly affect dielectric properties. Extreme caution should be exercise any time a rope is in the proximity of live circuits.
SHEAVES:
Recommended D/d ratio is 8:1
WORKING LOADS:
No blanket working load recommendation can be made because it
depends on the application and conditions of use, especially
potential danger to personnel. It is recommended that the user
establish working loads and safety factors based on professional and
experienced assessments of risks. The working load is a guideline
for the use of a rope in good condition for non-critical
applications and should be reduced where life, limb, or valuable
property is involved, or exceptional service such as shock,
sustained loading, severe vibration, etc. The Cordage Institute
specifies that the Safe Working Load of a rope shall be determined
by dividing the Minimum Tensile Strength by the Safety Factor.
Safety factors range from 5 to 12 for non-critical uses, 15 for life
lines.
SLK= Minimum Break Strength / Safety Factor
COATING:
Can be Urethane coated to improve abrasion resistance, UV resistance, to crate a water barrier and to provide color coding.
COLOR:
White
STANDARD LENGTH:
Available in standard 600, and 1200 ft lengths
SPLICING INSTRUCTIONS:
3-strand Eye Splice
