Frequently asked questions
What load field is used for sockets?
Minimum Breaking Load. Do not rename to Working Load or WLL.
Does the same rope diameter always have the same MBL for open and closed sockets?
No. The source tables differ.
Can dimension A from a shackle be compared directly with dimension A from a socket?
No. Dimension letters are product- and drawing-specific.
Why is there no inch column?
Inch correspondence exists on the source sheet but is not transcribed in this demo. Rope diameter is shown in mm.
What should I provide for a socket inquiry?
Open / Closed, Rope Diameter, Required Minimum Breaking Load if known, Connection Geometry, Quantity and Drawing.
