Note: Most rescue knots have a 20-to-28% efficiency loss. Choosing the right knot can make the difference between catching that big fish or losing it. Although not possible when tying most knots, this rule must be followed as much as possible (ropes over square edges, ropes through pulleys, etc. See detailed instructions, pictures, tutorials, and videos for the Grinner Knot. The Figure 8 knots were The Revised 5th Edition includes the following updates: Updated testing of knot efficiency including polyester ropes Test results of contamination on polyester ropes Updated discussions of main/belay and Twin-Tension systems Tensioned belay system added Revised techniques for belaying with the MPD User information for the new 3D descent control To maintain maximum line efficiency one should also avoid acute bends. ) Sep 15, 2022 · Abstract A knot is the weakest point of every rope, and the knot efficiency measures the portion of original rope strength taken away by the knot. Knot strength or ‘strength efficiency’ (resistance to breaking, relative to the same rope with no knot) depends on the extent to which force (from loading the rope) is transmitted to any place where the rope is weakened (usually by tight compression, a tight deflection in the rope, or torsion that damages the fibres). Figure 8 Follow Through Loop. The elongation of a life safety rope relates directly to the impact forces encountered when the rope stops a fall, as well as to the efficiency of a lowering/raising system. Learn to tie the Trilene Knot and see knot strength data and charts.
