Rope To Rope Splice

Rope splicing in ropework is the forming of a semi permanent joint between two ropes or two parts of the same rope by partly untwisting and then interweaving their strands.

Step by step instructions for splicing two ropes together using a lon. Samson recommends splicing as the preferred rope termination method. Splices are preferred to knotted rope since while a knot typically reduces the strength by. The sliding splice is the exception.

This three strand splice is used when you need to maintain a similar thickness of rope. These techniques are stronger than knots and are generally intended for permanent lengthening. Knots can significantly decrease a ropes strength while in most cases splicing maintains 100 of the specified rope strength. Some workers installing electricity cables however have reported using the same splice to haul cables through buried pipes.

Splicing is a technique used to join two separate lengths of rope together to make longer stretches of rope. Back in the days of weak chain and hemp rope a two strand splice was developed to allow bulky rope to fit through a link. Splice terminations are used in all our ropes to determine new and unused tensile strengths. In a two strand long chain splice one strand is unlaid far back up the rope and the remaining two strands are fed through the link in opposite directions lying flat and sharing the load evenly.
