Tensile Strengths are determined in accordance with Cordage Institute 1500, Test Methods for Fiber Rope. Weights are calculated at linear density under standard preload (200d2) plus 4%. See reverse side for application and safety information.
Please note that the Minimum Tensile Strengths of Black Nylon Double Braid products are normally 10% below published specifications. Type Approval of Nylon Double Braid does not apply to Black Nylon Double Braid.
