Size: Diameter and circumference are nominal. A new unused rope in relaxed state will measure larger; loading and use compacts ropes, sets splices and lessens rope size.
Weights: Published weights of sizes 1-5/8″– 4-1/4″ diameter are calculated at linear density under stated preload (200d²) plus 4%.
Tensile Strengths: Tensile strength determined in accordance with Cordage Institute 1500‑02 Test Methods for Fiber Ropes and ISO 2307.
