Working Range

 

 

The diameter of the mooring rope materials can be plotted against de MBL.

 

We see for steel materials that they need a significant smaller diameter to have the same MBL’s than conventional synthetic wires. However, with the creation of the so called Deep Ropes, the difference decreases to a very acceptable level (especially with the Dyneema deep rope).
