a The reference number corresponds to the approximate diameter, in millimetres.
b The linear density, in kilotex, corresponds to the net mass per length of the rope, expressed in grams per metre or in kilograms per
kilometre.
c The linear density is obtained under reference tension and is measured as specified in ISO 2307.
d The breaking forces relate to new, dry and wet ropes.
e A force determined by the test methods specified in ISO 2307 is not necessarily an accurate indication of the force at which that
rope might break in other circumstances and situations. The type and quality of termination, the rate of force application, prior
conditioning and previous force applications to the rope can significantly influence the breaking force. A rope bent around a post,
capstan, pulley or sheave may break at a significantly lower force. A knot or other distortion in a rope may significantly reduce the
breaking force
