My splicing attempts

[High Scale]

I was wondering what rope that was, Donaghys make some nice rope.

 

The eye really should not pull out that easy though, the 16 strand splices I have done have never come apart and would take more than human manual effort to pull the splice apart.

Yeah they do make some nice ropes, yeah thats what i thought but i did pull the core out of the length that i spliced and made the cross over using the 2 ends of the burys.. if that make sense.

 

Got some destruction test results today, ... splice vs double fig 8..

Highest break 2100kg, 1910kg, 1770kg and lowest 1670kg

None of the splices moved or budged at all!! most of the breaks were either near to the cross over or towards the knotted end of rope. The lower breaking points were on the shorter lengths of ropes aswell.

 

Will hopefully be getting the AP e2e and spark e2e tested this weekend, will post results when I have them

Just got some e2e splices tested,

 

got a length of spark tested, it broke at 2400kgs, but only broke because of bend ratio ( broke at bottom of the eye )

 

Armor prus e2e (class 1 splice at one end and class 2 at the other ) class 1 eye splice broke at 1610kgs (class 2 didn't move)

 

Just thought I'd post the results

 

cheers

Nice works Rich. 16strand is nice to splice especially donaghys spark

I need to try some.

I don't think you can get it in the uk.... But you could possibly get some through - Treetools | tree climbing, rigging, pruning and safety equipment -

I know someone with some donaghys spark, if I remember correctly it was from George Carr. I couldnt say if they still stock it though.

Carrs don't sell it, they are my local store, Spark is not availble here me thinks.
