Hot Pipe Testing: Heat Resistant Ropes
“What would happen if a rope supporting a technician were to come in contact with a steam pipe? How long would it last?”
Our R&D team devised a test to determine what would happen when ropes of different fibers and different diameters were exposed to 700-degree pipes, similar to what Rope Access Technicians experience with steam pipes at refineries. We tested a variety of Sterling ropes- from our 7/16" HTP all the way up to our 12.5 mm 100% Technora H3Tech125.
Introducing the OpLux
An 8 mm rope designed for tactical operations features heat and abrasion-resistant materials for strength and consistent operation.
Testing: Abrasion Resistance
How do our ropes stand up to rough surfaces and sharp edges over repeated use? We devised a test to find out.
