PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Water Rescue Rope is a double braided rope consisting of a polypropylene core contained within an abrasion resistant braided nylon jacket. Available in 7/16 inch (11mm) diameter. FEATURES: Floats Excellent strength to weight ratio Abrasion Resistant Excellent Wet/dry strength retention Torque-free non-hockling Stays flexible and very easy to handle Spliceable APPLICATIONS: Water rescue / safety TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: STRENGTH / WEIGHT Product Code (White) Diameter Weight (Lbs/100 ft.) Tensile (Lbs.) Inches mm 2371-14 7/16 11 5.0 5,900 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). WORKING ELONGATION SUNLIGHT/UV: Rope receives very little degradation from UV and can be used outside over long term if inspected regularly. CHEMICALS: Ropes have good resistance to most minerals/organics, acids, weak alkalis, bleaches and other oxidizing agents and most solvents. HEAT: Melting point of Nylon 480F, progressive strength loss above 300F Polypropylene 330F, progressive strength loss above 200F DIELECTRICS: Rope has 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. Exercise extreme caution 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.
