Do you have a well in your garden and need a new pump? The best way to secure it is with a floating rope made of high-strength polypropylene material, certified for health safety – OEKO-TEX® Certificate. This rope is also suitable for water sports, such as water skiing or wakeboarding. The rope has very good strength and low slippage in the hand. The rope length is 100 m, diameter is 4 mm, and load capacity is 449 kg.
The diameter of our ropes is measured according to the European standard EN 2307, which specifies the exact measurement procedure. However, it is important to know that the resulting diameter of the rope may have a certain tolerance. This deviation depends on the construction of the rope (e.g., type of braid, number of strands) and the material from which the rope is made. Special attention should be paid to ropes made from natural fibers, such as jute or sisal. For these ropes, the diameter may vary between individual production batches, because natural yarns have inherent differences in thickness, elasticity, and absorbency. These deviations are not a defect but a normal property of natural materials.
Approximate rope diameter tolerance
Type of rope | Material | Construction | Diameter tolerance |
---|---|---|---|
Natural rope | Jute, sisal | 3–4 strand | ± 12 % |
Synthetic twisted and braided ropes | PP, PPV, PES, PA | 3, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 44, 48 strand | ± 8 % |
Note: For natural ropes, the tolerance may be higher due to the influence of moisture, storage, and the natural variability of fibers.
When selecting a rope, we recommend taking this tolerance into account, especially if the rope diameter is crucial for its use (e.g., in combination with fittings, pulleys, or other technical elements).
