9-4.7.3 Maintenance of Sling Identification
Sling identification shall be maintained by the user so as to be legible
during the life of the sling.
With tuck splices in three-strand and eight-strand synthetic ropes, no less than four full tucks shall be used. Short splices shall
contain at least six full tucks, three on each side of the center
of the splice.
Strand end tails in all tuck splices shall not be trimmed short
(cut flush with the body of the rope). In cases where the projecting tails may be objectionable, the tails shall be tapered and buried
into the body of the rope using two additional tucks.
Synthetic rope slings shall have a minimum undisturbed length
of rope of 10 times the rope diameter between the last tuck
of tuck splices or between the ends of the buried tails or strands
of other types of splices.
The diameter and width of the bearing surface of the fitting can
affect the strength of the sling. The sling manufacturer's
recommendation should be followed when fittings are used
with the sling.
Knots, clips, or clamps shall not be used to fabricate slings.
If thimbles do not have ears to prevent rotation, they should be lashed to the rope. Thimbles should be used in the sling
whenever possible, installed in a manner that will prevent
the thimble from rotating inside the eye or falling out of the eye.
9-4.7.4 Replacement of Sling Identification
Replacement of the sling identification shall be considered a repair
as specific in paras. 9-4.9.5(a) and (b). Additional proof testing is
not required.
SECTION 9-4.8: EFFECTS OF ENVIRONMENT
9-4.8.1 Temperature
(a)
(b)
Polyester and nylon rope slings shall not be used in contact
with objects or at temperatures in excess of 194°F (90°C) or at temperatures below -40°F (-40°C).
Some synthetic yarns do not retain their published breaking strength during long-term exposure above 140°F (60°C).
The rope sling manufacturer should be consulted for the effects
of long-term heat exposure.
9-4.8.2 Chemically Active Environments
The strength of synthetic rope slings can be degraded by chemically
active environments. This includes exposure to chemicals in the
form of solids, liquids, gases, vapors or fumes. The sling manufacturer
or qualified person should be consulted before slings are used in
chemically active environments.

Matching the Rope to the Application
All ropes have individual characteristics, reflecting the
different properties of the various materials used in rope
making. For example: Polyester (Dacron) has excellent
resistance to abrasion, flexing, creep (tendency to elongate
and break under continuous load), ultraviolet radiation,
high temperature and most chemicals. It has low elongation
and is unaffected by water. Nylon is about 17% lighter
than polyester, rates about the same in abrasion, flexure,
ultraviolet, and chemical resistance, but resistance to
creep and elevated temperatures is somewhat lower, and
it loses 10% to 15% of its breaking strength when wet.
Higher elongation makes nylon excellent for dynamic
loading, but due to its rapid recovery on release of load,
there are hazards from recoil.
Use eye splices at points of attachment. Avoid
knots in rope.
Avoid running rope over sharp corners or edges
or around diameters less than eight times the
diameter of the rope.
Protect from damage such as cutting, wedging
and severe abrasion.
Store away from exposure to sun or rain, and
avoid such exposure as much as possible.
To dry wet rope, hang it loosely in coils.
Keep rope away from chemicals harmful to your
specific type of rope. (With nylon rope, avoid strong
acids; polyester rope: strong alkalis; polypropylene
rope: hot petroleum-based oils and solvents; manila
rope: acids, alkalis, detergents, and most other
chemical agents.)
Before Loading
Inspect the rope. Be sure the rope is in satisfactory
condition and that you are using it in the recommended
manner. Be sure that the load weight is accurately
estimated, and that the rope selected is correct for that
working load. You must determine if your application
involves shock loading, long-term sustained loading or
rated temperatures. If knots must be used for attachment
or along the rope, or if the rope must be used around
sharp bends or small radii, you must reduce by 40 percent
the acceptable working load on the rope being used.

Polypropylene is the lightest of rope materials. It floats
and is unaffected by water. It resists most chemicals, and
has fair resistance to abrasion and flexure. Degradation
will result from continuous or excessive exposure to
sunlight or ultraviolet radiation. Breaking strength
decreases as temperature rises, and its resistance to
creep is poor. Combination ropes—blends of polyester
and polyolefins—provide surface characteristics of

You can best utilize the strength of your rope and promote
on-the-job safety by following these rules:
Slings
Cuts, gouges, badly abraded spots.
Seriously worn surface yarns.
Considerable filament or fiber breakage along the
line where adjacent strands meet. (Light fuzzing
is acceptable.)
Particles of broken filaments or fibers inside the
rope between the strands. (Check inside the rope.)
Discoloration or harshness that may mean chemical
damage or excessive exposure to sunlight. Check
filaments or fibers for weakness or brittleness.
Kinks or hockles.
If any of the above signs of possible damage appear, the rope may be unsafe.

Recommended Procedure for Using Rope
Hardware
When inspecting rope, look for the following:
Lifting
Products
The most common error in using rope is ignoring signs
of excessive wear or damage incurred on the job.
Any rope should be inspected frequently, especially if
it is used in applications involving a risk of personal
injury or property damage.
Wire
Rope
polyester with the lightweight and economy of a
polyolefin. Aramid (Kevlar) fiber is slightly heavier than
polyester and has more than twice polyester’s tenacity.
Creep resistance is excellent but resistance to abrasion
and flexure are inferior. Low stretch prevents efficient
utilization of its very high fiber strength except in small lines
or special constructions.

Efficiencies of
Common Rope Splices,
Knots, Bends & Hitches
Besides being more closely related to actual field use, this
splice is most convenient for test purposes since it offers
the longest method of attachment.
These pages have been compiled so that both our own
personnel and those of our customers can better understand
exactly what to expect from ropes which have been spliced,
knotted or hitched.
It should be noted that only Eye Splice, either with or
without a thimble, should be seized with marline or wrapped
with tape for longer wear. When using a thimble for an
Eye Splice with synthetic fiber rope, it is advisable to use
an eared thimble for greater security.
All of the efficiencies listed herein either correspond with
or take precedence over previously published figures.
Short Splice—The Short Splice, which is used to join
two ends, is essentially the same as the Eye Splice. If the
splicer uses the same number of tucks back in each
direction and tapers the splice in a manner similar to the
Eye Splice, the efficiency, of the Short Splice will be very
close to that of the Eye Splice (See Figure 1). The only
disadvantage to the Short Splice is that it greatly increases
the diameter of the rope at that point so that it may not
pass through rings or over sheaves.
Efficiency of Splices
Before discussing individual splices, it should first be
understood that we have traditionally based our published
rope strengths on tests using an eye splice at both ends.
When tested, the ropes invariably part at the splice.
This may seem conservative, on our part, since a straight,
unspliced line will have greater strength. However, it is
hard to conceive an actual “in use” application where
sufficient force can be applied to reach the breaking point
without some sort of splice, knot or hitch being utilized.
Occasionally, where small ropes may be tested by securing
both ends with several turns around a post or cleat,
break strengths at slightly higher than eye-spliced results
may sometimes be achieved.
Long Splice—You will note in Figure 1 that Long Splices
do not afford the strength of the Short Splice. However, the
Long Splice causes a smaller increase in diameter. Properly
tucked and well pounded down, the Long Splice will often
run satisfactorily over sheaves.
If ordered from our mills, care must be taken in terminology
to avoid confusion with the Long Blind Splice, listed below.
In the Long Splice, strands are not divided, but are tucked
back over and under in both directions.
As you will see, in certain cases, obtainable splice
efficiencies may sometimes suggest the desirability of
using a slightly smaller diameter continuous length
of line for a larger diameter, which must be long
or short spliced.
Long Blind Splice—Sometimes called the
“Transmission Splice”, the Long Blind Splice sacrifices
a great deal of strength in order to preserve a constant
bulge-free diameter.
Instructions for making the various splices are shown
in specific brochures and booklets, which deal with the
proper use of rope.
The mating strands are divided in half and recombined.
This introduces points of seriously reduced strength. The
Long Blind Splice should never be used except where
the reduced strength is acceptable.

Orion produces high quality nylon ropes for industrial
use. All sizes above 5/16" diameter utilize piled yarns
manufactured in a four-stage process. Orion uses
specific grade raw materials sourced from well-known
domestic manufactures. Nylon filament is stream
heat set prior to twisting to reduce rope shrinkage in
the field. Nylon has the highest stretch, strength
and shock absorbency of any synthetic rope.

Polypropylene is the lightest and least expensive synthetic
rope with approximately twice the tensile strength of manila.
Polypropylene rope will not rot or mildew, is resistant to
most chemicals and acids and floats in salt and fresh water.
Polypropylene rope can be stored wet.

Polyester (3-Strand)
Rope
SEE PRODUCT GUIDELINES
ON PAGES 794 - 795.
Orion’s polyester rope is produced with 100% high
tenacity multifilament fiber. The benefits of polyester rope,
as compared to products made from other conventional
synthetic fibers, include:
■
■
■
■
Superior UV resistance
Lowest stretch and creep (tendency to continue
to elongate under load)
Highest resistance to abrasion and heat degradation
High dielectric properties when in new condition
Orion’s four-stage plied yarn construction ensures a
torque-balanced product; the firm strand comes
in a medium lay construction ensuring a durable rope
with a long working life. Orion’s polyester rope is
ideal for your critical tasks requiring low-elongation,
such as lifelines, arborist climbing and bull ropes,
and heavy marine applications, such as ship-docking.

In diameters 1/4" through 3/4", Extra-Lene® is
manufactured using composite (polyester over
polypropylene) single-ply yarns all the way
to the core.
In diameters 7/8" through 4", Extra-Lene® is
produced using four-stage plied cover yarns of
100% polyester over a strand core of
monofilament polypro (composite strand).
Extra-Lene® is engineered to balance the elongation
characteristics of both fiber types. The rope features the
superior wear characteristics of an all polyester rope
with an economic, lightweight core.

Plasma® 12 Strand
SEE PRODUCT GUIDELINES
ON PAGES 794 - 795.
Plasma® 12 strand is the highest strength synthetic
rope available. Plasma® 12 strand is manufactured from
High Modulus Polyethylene (HMPE) that has been
enhanced by Cortland’s patented recrystallization process.
This process is especially effective in medium to large
diameter ropes where strengths are more than 50% higher
and creep is significantly less than that of standard
Spectra® 12 strand.
Plasma® 12 strand is delivered standard with a
polyurethane finish and is easily spliced using a simple
lockstitch type splice, 4-3-2 or 5-4-3 Tuck Splice. Its soft,
torque free braided construction provides easy handling.

Plasma® 12 x 12 is a 12-strand braided rope
in which each of the 12 strands is, in turn, a
12-strand rope, or braided primary strand.
Services
Plasma® is manufactured from High Modulus Polyethylene
(HMPE) that has been enhanced by Cortland’s patented
recrystallization process. This process is especially effective
in medium to large diameter ropes because it creates
strengths that are more than 50% higher with significantly
lower creep compared to standard Spectra 12 strand.
Slings
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. This is
especially prevalent in sizes above 4" diameter. Published
nominal sizes from 4-1/8" and larger represent stabilized or
preloaded size.
*
Weights:
Published weights of sizes 1-5/8" – 4" diameter are
calculated at linear density under stated preload (200d²)
plus 4%. For this chart, sizes 4-1/8" – 8-1/4" diameter
represent un-cycled, (non-stabilized) weights.

This patented construction addresses the most critical
properties of the fibers to provide a very high strength
translation efficiency for larger ropes. This design allows
for long lay lengths, making rope that is more flexible
for bending applications, easy to inspect, and can be quickly
spiced using standard splicing techniques. Plasma®
12 x 12 is supplied with our standard polyurethane finish,
although other coatings can be applied to suit
specific applications.

Phillystran aramid fiber ropes jacketed with abrasionresistant, moisture-blocking extruded polymers are made
to order for most shipboard applications. Phillystran
ropes provide the strength and low-stretch characteristics
of steel with the lightweight, non-corrosive, and dielectric
properties of fiber ropes.
Engineered
Products
The U.S. Navy has approved Phillystran rope for
use in lifelines and boat davit preventer stays. Some
of the advantages of replacing steel cables for
these applications are:
Hardware
Slings
Inter-modulation interference (IMI) is eliminated
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is eliminated
Received and transmitted signal patterns are improved
Expensive maintenance such as painting, greasing,
and de-icing is eliminated
Useful life is dramatically increased when corrosion
due to sea water and stack gases is eliminated
Safety concerns due to metal “fish hook” injuries and corrosion-weakened steel wire ropes are eliminated
Applications where electrically transparent,
corrosion-resistant Phillystran is the best choice are:

Working Loads:
No blanket safe working load (SWL) recommendations can
be made for any line because SWLs must be calculated
based on application, conditions of use, and potential danger
to personnel, among other considerations. It is recommended that the end user establish working loads and safety
factors based on best practices established by the end
user's industry; by professional judgment and personal
experience; and after thorough assessment of all risks. The
SWL 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 in cases of
exceptional service such as shock loading, sustained
loading, severe vibration, etc. The Cordage Institute
specifies that the SWL of a rope shall be determined by
dividing the Minimum Tensile Strength of the rope by
a safety factor. The safety factor ranges from 5 to 12 for
non-critical uses and is typically set at 15 for life lines.
Heat:
Polyester melts at 480°F with progressive strength loss
above 300°F.
Dielectrics:
Good resistance to the passage of electrical current.
However, dirt, surface contaminants, water entrapment,
and the like can significantly affect dielectric properties.
Extreme caution should be exercised any time a rope is in
the proximity of live circuits.
Sheaves:
Recommended sheave diameter to rope diameter is 8:1.

Nylite Connector Assembly
Spools, Shields & Shackle Assembly
Nylite connector assemblies are easily installed into or
removed from a premade soft eye. The Nylite spool
is only one-seventh the weight of a steel spool. Nylite
connectors will not deform or rupture from repeated
loadings. The shackle takes advantage of the
high-strength Nylite connector and synthetic rope.

The first layer (wrap) around the winch drum should be
put on closely and tightly. The initial winding tension (load)
should be approximately 50 pounds. This will prevent
subsequent wraps from slipping down between turns when
tension is applied. Samson winch lines tend to self-level.
Important: Samson recommends at least four wraps*
always be left on winch drum.

Product Warnings,
Cautions & Guidelines
Phillystran Cautions
CAUTION
Break Strength: The breaking strength of a rope is the load at which a new rope will break when tested under laboratory conditions.
Break strength should not be mistaken for safe working load.
Safe Working Load: Because of the wide range of rope use, rope condition and the degree of risk of life or property, it is not
possible to make a blanket recommendation for safe working load. It is ultimately dependent on the rope user to determine what
percentage of break strength is their own safe working load.
Wear: Ropes wear out with use; the more severe the usage, the greater the wear. It is often not possible to detect wear on a rope
by visible signs alone. Therefore, it is recommended that the rope user determine a retirement criteria for ropes in their application.
For assistance in developing safe working load and retirement criteria for each application please call or write Phillystran.
All printed statements, data and recommendations are based on reliable information and tests, and are presented without any
guarantee or warranty. Statements regarding the use of Phillystran’s products and processes are not to be construed as

International Warnings
& Guidelines
-
Loads are not accurately known
-
High or continuous dynamic loads are anticipated
(See Section 6)
-

-
Tension is on the rope for long periods
-
Knots are used, as knots can reduce strength by
as much as 50%
-
Operators are not well trained
-
Operation/use procedures are not well defined
and/or controlled.
-
Severe abrasion is likely to occur from exposure to
rough surfaces or cutting edges, or by contamination from dirt and grit.
WARNING
The use of rope and cordage products has inherent safety
risks which are subject to highly variable conditions and which
may change over time. Compliance with standards and
guidelines of the Cordage Institute does not guarantee safe
use under all circumstances, and the Institute disclaims any
responsibility for accidents which may occur. If the user
has any questions or uncertainties about the proper use of
rope or cordage or about safe practices, consult a professional
engineer or qualified individual.
Expert Guidance is Strongly Suggested for the
Following Situations:
■
Rope is used constantly over pulleys or around a small bend.
■
Rope is used at elevated temperature that may glaze,
weaken or melt the fibers.
■
Rope is used in the presence of hazardous chemicals.
■
Rope is not new and is of unknown properties
and/or prior use.
■
Rope is not inspected frequently or adequately.
Rope will be in service for long periods that may lose strength ■
due to fatigue.
CI Guideline 2003 Fibers for Cable, Cordage, Rope and Twine
explains some of the effects of elevated temperature and
chemicals on synthetic fibers.
5. Calculation of Values
■
After the WL has been estimated and the DF for an application has been determined, a rope can be selected by calculating
the necessary new rope Minimum Breaking Strength. The required MBS is determined by multiplying the Working Load by Design Factor. WL x DF = MBS. For example, an application with a Working Load of 3 tons and a Design Factor of 10 would require
an rope with MBS = 3 x 10 = 30 tons.
■
Similarly, the Working Load Limit of a new rope is determined
by dividing the Minimum Breaking Strength by the Design Factor for a given application. MBS ÷ DF = WLL. Examples of WLL,
based on a DF of 5:1 and 12:1, are given in individual Cordage Institute Standards. The WLL in CI standards are for new ropes with standard terminations.
6. Dynamic Loading
■
Nearly all rope in use is subject to Dynamic Loading to some
degree. Whenever a load is picked up, stopped, moved or swung there is an increased force due to the acceleration or dynamics
of the movement. The more rapidly or suddenly such actions
occur, the greater the forces. In extreme cases, the force sustained by the rope may be two, three, or even more times the static load. (e.g., when picking up a tow on a slack line or using a rope to stop a falling object) Therefore, in applications such as towing lines, lifelines, safety lines, climbing ropes, etc., the DF must reflect the added risk involved. If significant dynamic load is foreseen, a
DF at or above the high end of the range should be considered. Loads should be handled slowly and smoothly to minimize
dynamic effects.
■
Users should also be aware that dynamic effects are greater
on a low elongation rope, such as manila, than a high-elongation rope, such as nylon. Also note that dynamic effects are more
significant on short segments of rope as opposed to longer ones.
■
Excessive dynamic loading will shorten the life of a line and/or cause premature failure.
7. Recoil / Snapback Safety Warning
■
When a tensioned rope breaks, an attachment fails, or either are
suddenly released, the energy in the rope will cause it or the
attachment to recoil back in unpredictable directions with great force, resulting in possible injury or death to persons in its path. Persons should never stand in line with or in the general path
of rope under tension to avoid snapback injuries.
8. Special Applications
■
The DF ranges can be lower or higher than recommended in
applications where actual field experience has proven successful, where a recognized standard or specification exists, where
qualified professionals have made a thorough engineering analysis of all conditions of use and/or a regulatory agency has granted specific permission. In such controlled cases, breaking strength, elongation, energy absorption, and other factors, including
operating procedures, must be evaluated during the selection
of the Design Factor.
■
In addition to the above, more specific guidelines should be
considered for applications such as life safety and marine use.
CI 1401-06 Safer Use of Fiber Rope
Purpose
■
This Guideline is provided to help in the selection and safer use of cordage products. Compliance with Cordage Institute Standards and Guidelines does not guarantee safe use
under all circumstances, and the Institute disclaims any
responsibility for any accidents that may occur.
1. Overview
■
There are inherent risks in the use of rope and cordage
because such products are subject to highly variable
conditions that change over time. Therefore, Design Factor selections and Working Load Limits must be calculated
with consideration of exposure to risk and actual conditions
of use for each application. If in doubt, consult an experienced engineer or other qualified individual regarding the design, application and selection of a rope product.
2. Minimum Breaking Strength
■
The Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS) is the force that a
given rope is required to meet or exceed in a laboratory test when it is new and unused. MBS values are given in
Cordage Institute Standards and individual manufacturers’ specifications.
3. Working Load / Working Load Limit
■
The Working Load (WL) is the weight or force applied to
rope or cordage in a given application.
■
The Working Load Limit (WLL) is a guideline for the
maximum allowable capacity of a rope product and should
not be exceeded.
■
Applied loads higher than a specified WLL can overstress
and damage fibers, resulting in premature rope failure.
The Working Load of an application should not exceed the WLL of the rope for optimal product performance and the safety of personnel and property.
4. Design Factors
■
The Design Factor (DF) is the ratio between the MBS
and WL. This value is the margin of safety for an application. For a particular application, the factors affecting rope
behavior and the degrees of risk to life, personnel and
property must be considered when setting a DF.
■
Commercial and industrial users must determine a
DF based on actual service conditions and establish
operating procedures for a specific application. A “general use” consumer must also assess his application and
determine conditions of use and hazards that may apply.
■
As a rule, the more severe the application, the higher
the DF needs to be. Selection of a DF in the general range between 5:1 and 12:1 is recommended. A design factor
at the low end of this range should only be selected with
expert knowledge of conditions and professional
estimate of risk. DF at or above the high end of the range should be used for more severe conditions of use. When in doubt, always select the highest practical DF, or contact the manufacturer for additional guidance. Engineering assistance
may be necessary to determine the service loads and risks
and to set the appropriate DF.
Considerations in the Selection of a Design Factor
■
Experience is the best guide for determining a DF. Select a DF value used in a similar application that proved successful.
■
Consider increasing the Design Factor if:
-
Problems have previously been observed in
similar applications
-
Injury, death or loss of property may result if rope fails
