Manufacturer part #: V-100 5/16"
V-100㢠has a Vectran fiber core and a polyester cover. The strength member core design utilizes the exceptional performance properties of Vectran fiber for a rope that has very high strength, ultra low stretch, and no creep. The polyester cover protects the core in abrasive environments.
Features
- Ultra Low Elongation
- Torque-Free
- Abrasion & Snag Resistant
- Easily Spliced
- No Creep
Applications
- Main Halyards
- Genoa Halyards
- Afterguys
- Guys
Sunlight/Uv: Very little degradation from UV, and can be used over long term if inspected regularly.
Chemicals: Polyester has good resistance to most chemicals, except 95% sulfuric acid and strong alkalis at boil. Vectranå¨ fiber has good resistance to most minerals, organics, acids, and weak alkalis. Vectran㢠fiber also has excellent resistance to bleaches and other oxidizing agents as well as to most solvents.
Heat: Polyester has a melting point of 480å¡F with progressive strength loss above temperatures of 300å¡F. Vectranå¨ fiber has a melting point of 660å¡F with progressive strength loss above 430å¡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 D/d * ratio is 8:1. (*Sheave diameter to rope diameter)
Working Loads: No blanket safe working load (SWL) recommendations can be made for any line because SWL's 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.
