Working Range

 

 

With the knowledge of the mean breaking load we can compare the weight-MBL relation of the Deep ropes with the steel lines.

 

What can be seen in the figure is a significant difference. Steel wire and chains have a more than 10 times greater weight on the same MBL than the Deep ropes have. This amplifies the statement that it will be both economically and technically interesting to consider using synthetic fibers instead of steel.
