Hillman cares about our customers’ safety and well-being. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with descriptions of terms often associated with products Hillman sells to ensure you and others use them as intended. Always inspect your product for wear and degradation before use.
Frictional surface wear on the product and/or components.
The additional stress that is imposed on the product as a result of an increase in load velocity.
The ultimate load at which a tensile strength failure occurs in the representative samples being tested. Breaking strength is a manufacturing test in which a load is applied to the representative sample product under increasing force applied by a testing machine. Breaking strength should not be used for design, service, or application purposes. Koch Industries does not normally refer to breaking strengths in any of its publications or website.
The ratio of the nominal strength to the total breaking load.
Any functional accessory attached to a chain, rope, or wire rope. This term may be loosely applied to any product shown in this publication.
This is a manufacturing test in which a load in pounds is applied to a representative sample of the product under increasing force as applied by a testing machine. This is a manufacturing test and is not intended for service or design purposes.
This is a manufacturing test referring to a load in pounds which the product has withstood during a test in which increasing tension is applied to the product.
That which exceeds the static load caused by a rapid change of movement like jerking, impacting dropping, swinging of a load, or a rapid stop of the load at the end of the product’s length are difficult to calculate and should be avoided. Maximum load ratings will not apply in this case.
The maximum load or rated capacity in pounds that shall be applied in direct tension and with steady force to a straight length of chain, cable, rope, fitting or other attachment under normal conditions. Shock loads, acceleration stress, non-straight line loading or other extraordinary conditions should be avoided when using these products. The maximum load should never be exceeded.
