In general, the wider the
jacket the better the results
Results among different
sling manufacturers can
vary widely
108k EHP is recommended
for large capacity slings
EHP yarn has one third the stretch of polyester and therefore is less
“forgiving”.
Polyester elongation at break is ~12% at break vs. less than 4%
for EHP yarn.
Best results are obtained when the wraps are kept as evenly as
possible.
Sling building speeds should be reduced and all tensions
equalized to maintain uniform wrap lengths.
Slack or drooping ends will NOT “pull out” as they do with
polyester slings.
Proof testing (up to five times at 2x WL) is recommended for all High
Performance Roundslings.
Per Cordage Institute CI-1905, maximum temperature for HMPE
roundslings is 158 F (70° C).
Using this product to fabricate slings requires refined skills to manufacture a good suitable roundsling. As all sling makers fabrication methods differ,
each sling manufacturer must do their own testing to determine the suitable rating of their products. While Filtec's hybrid yarn is over three times stronger
than 60,000 denier PES, this does not necessarily make slings made with the same # wraps three times stronger. Only internal testing by the
manufacturer can verify their suitable rating.
