   Noles:

1. Rope size number is the nomInal circumference of the rope in inches. All circumferences and diameters are
   approximate. as determined by common rope industry practices.


2. British and Japanese Standards are for rope tested without splices. Spliced strength is appro.ximately 90%
   01 unspliced strength, New ISO and DIN Standards are essentially equivalent to British Slandard.
