3/8" tenex

Re: 3/8\" tenex

Hi all,
Sorry to hear that Yale has discontinued their certification program; seems to me that anyone splicing lines that will be connected to humans should have a clear idea of how good their splices are. Really, why splice at all unless it is to approach 100% efficiency and security?
Over in the world of yacht rigging we are (at long last) looking to set up some form of certification, including destruction-testing of wire and rope splices. Would anyone be interested in setting up a batch deal with some tester? It seems likely that we could get a bulk discount. Ideally the splicers preparing samples of a particular kind of rope would all be working from the same batch of rope, and the manufacturer or the lab would already have established a 100% figure, so we could gauge relative strengths.
Any interest in this?
Fair leads,
Brion Toss

Well with every larger company they are worried about liability, as i would be. I still haven't sat down and wrote my cordinator and asked. I'll update once i look around and find someone who can break them for me. If breaking them and showing i know i can slice tenex would give tme ability to splice for our office i could reduce the overhead by a bit for loopies, whoopies, endless loops for knotless riggging systems, prussiks, and the list just goes on. Who knows we'll see.

I would love to get in on that just because it would make me sleep so much eaiser knowing that splice A broke at 5000 and splice B broke at 5400. Also not paying 100 a break would be great because that would severly limit me in what i had tested.
