Amsteel loop strength?

[jadekayak]

Very funny-but you have no idea how bad the english is in some of the posts here.

eg "grinded" instead of "ground" or "grind" in a knife post and many others.

At least this one was simply wrong word

Youre so right(ir is that left)

Because the Amsteel continuous loop is basically doubled, does this increase the strength

Yes.
Basically doubled.

I bought these. They work.

One valid reason to go to 1/8" amsteel CL's is that the larger diameter line makes it easier to release a Becket Hitch knot. I have done that and I only weigh in at 145 lbs.

Admittedly I did not read all of this thread but as to a continuous loop's (grommet) strength and the effect of bend radius on strength, read this.

Well done.

Interesting to see only 35% line strength retained with a bowline on HMPE.

One more reason to use thimbles and eyes on smaler diameter lines.

The should have also put up stats for UHMPE as thats what most of us use.

Thanks!!! Finally, we seem to have the answer:

Grommet configuration highlights bending losses
Grommet strength is actually <2x rope strength
Current industry recommendations range from 1.6-1.8x rope strength
