Different types of natural fiber rope are: Hemp, Sisal, and Manila
synthetic- limiting factor is how strong the raw material is.
Diffetent types of synthetic rope are: Nylon, Polyester, and Polypropylene.
Rope Construction:
Twisted- individual fibers are twisted to make a thread. Threads are twisted to make a strand. Strands are twisted to make a rope.
Parallel Core- inside is not twisted. Outside is a jacket to hold the core together. All the strength is in the core.
Braided- double braided- core and sheath are both braided.
Knots reduce strength of rope by 50%
Inspecting rope: visual- every time rope is used, make sure there is no visual discoloration or deformation in the rope.
annual in depth inspection- feel along the entire length of the rope for any deformations.
