TERMINATIONS
SPLICED EYE TERMINATION:
N.B. AVERAGE AND MINIMUM STRENGTH DETAILED BELOW IS FROM A SPLICED CONDITION AS TESTED AND AS TERMINATED IN USE.
12 strand splice
An allowance of 60x rope diameter should be made for the overall length of
the splice.
To optimise the efficiency of a soft eye splice (without a thimble), the angle
formed at the neck of the splice should be 30° or less, meaning that when flat,
the length of the eye must be 2.7x the diameter of the object over which the
splice will be used.
A splice will normally increase the diameter of the rope between 1.5x and 1.75x
