Had a quick google, but couldn't find a definitive answer. Did see testing from BD on rap knot strength, and the highest one pull tested to 6630 lbf on a 10.2mm rope (which google translated to about 30kN)....and knots reduce the strength of the rope somewhat also. A lot stronger that I thought it would be! |
