Polyester Polyolefin Rope - Strength

This document provides information on the minimum breaking strength, safe load, and weight of polyester polyolefin rope of various diameters. It lists these specifications for rope diameters ranging from 1/4 inches to 2 inches. An example calculation is also shown for determining the maximum safe mass for a 3/8 inch rope based on its safe load of 225 pounds or 1.0 kilonewtons.

Example - Maximum Safe Mass for a 3/8" Polyester


Polyolefin Rope

The relationship between mass and force (weight) can be expressed as

m=F/g (1)

where

F = force, weight (N)

m = mass (kg)

g = acceleration of gravity (9.81 m/s2)

Maximum safe mass for a 3/8" polyester polyolefin rope where safe load is 1.0 kN can be
calculated as

m = (1.0 103 N) / (9.81 m/s2)

= 102 kg
