Shark Byte 8 is an 8-plait construction that is a composite of copolymer olefins and polyester. It is made to match existing mooring line systems.
This product was designed to have a higher specific gravity to ensure it would be a sinking rope, and also to be a less-expensive alternative to the Shark Byte 12 product.
Diameter (Inches) | Average Break Strength *(Lbs) | Minimum Spliced Break Strength *(Lbs) | Ultimate Energy Absorption | Ultimate Energy Absorption | Est. Residual Strength **(%) | Linear Density (Lbs/100f) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1-1/8 | 29,772 | 26,795 | 271,652 | 10,364 | 51 | 26.2 |
1-1/4 | 32,300 | 29,070 | 281,000 | 10,369 | 56 | 27.1 |
* Knots and abrupt bends significantly reduce the strength of all ropes and lower the maximum working load.
** The estimated residual strength is from laboratory and tank bite tests and may not represent the effects during actual use.
