Scope

Guidance for Safe Use

The purpose of this document is to provide technical sling performance data for safe choice and use of Cortland’s Plasma® high performance synthetic slings.

While Cortland does manufacture heavy rope lift slings from other modern synthetic fiber materials such as Technora®(Aramid), Vectran® (LCP), Polyester and Nylon (Polyamide), the most popular fiber is High Modulus PolyEthylene (HMPE). Plasma® HMPE rope slings are extremely durable, have superior strength/weight benefits and have elongation properties after proof loading, similar to wire rope. Specifications of a synthetic rope sling may include additional mechanical components such as end termination hardware, (e.g. thimbles), fittings, (e.g. shackles) and chafe protection. These slings are excellent lightweight lifting tools and can be used for many land-based and marine lifting applications.

Plasma® 12 StrandPlasma® 12 Strand is manufactured from High Modulus Polyethylene (HMPE) that has been enhanced by Cortland’s patented recrystallization process to significantly enhance its strength. During processing, a polyurethane coating is added to provide protection against application hazards such as abrasion. The finished Plasma® is very durable, cut resistant (compared to other synthetic ropes) and has very good UV resistance. It also has excellent bending flex fatigue – far superior to wire rope. It is extremely flexible and conforms easily to surfaces.

Plasma® 12x12Plasma® 12x12 is a 12-strand braided rope in which each of the 12 strands is, in turn, a 12-strand rope, or braided primary strand. This patented construction addresses the most critical properties of the fibers to provide very high strength translation efficiency for larger ropes. This design allows for long lay lengths, making rope that is more flexible for bending applications, easy to inspect, and can be quickly spliced using standard 12 strand splicing techniques. Plasma® 12x12 is supplied with our standardpolyurethane finish, although other coatings can be applied to suit specific applications.

ratings based on Design Factor of 5:1

120° or >

Minimum Break Load (MBL) in pounds or tonnes and is determined using spliced test samples in accordance with Cordage Institute 1500-02 - Test Method for Fiber Ropes.

Minimum Sling Length on Eye & Eye fabricated Cortland slings assumes 1) a compressed minimum eye splice of 6.75 times the rope diameter in inches, and 2) a clear span area between splices of 10 times Cortland rope circumference in feet.

The recommended Design Factor (DF) of 5:1 on this chart is based on several existing lifting sling standards including ASME B30.9. This design factor takes into account various factors including the use of HMPE (High Modulus Polyethylene) fiber which is extremely durable and resistant to repeated high loads. Plasma® rope slings have and can be used with different DF ratios: however, this is a decision which must be made by a qualified person or designer of the lift in conjunction with the rope manufacturer.

Cortland, at this time, does not recommend the use of Plasma® rope slings in a choker hitch at a lifting angle of less than 120°. Testing on rated values is not complete and available at this time.

Eye & Eye Sling

Minimum Sling Length on Eye & Eye fabricated Cortland slings assumes 1) a compressed minimum eye splice of 6.75 times the rope diameter in millimeters, and 2) a clear span area between splices of 10 times Cortland rope circumference in feet.

The recommended Design Factor (DF) of 5:1 on this chart is based on several existing lifting sling standards including ASME B30.9. This design factor takes into account various factors including the use of HMPE(High Modulus Polyethylene) fiber which is extremely durable and resistant to repeated high loads. Plasma® rope slings have and can be used with different DF ratios: however, this is a decision which must be made by a qualified person or designer of the lift in conjunction with the rope manufacturer.
