Line and Knot Load Testing

Picked this link up at Kitebuilder.com discussion forum.

LOADS

I found the breaking strength of various sewn loops particularly interesting. I would not have guessed that bar tacking was stronger, for example, than some of the other sewn patterns.

As I read further I’m also impressed by the load strength of multiple wrappings of two sided Velcro straps. I’m going to take another look at possible uses of the “One Wrap” that I have.
