Cut Resistance of Ropes: Part 3 | EDELRID Knowledge Base

In the previous episode of our cut resistance series, we learned that diameter alone doesn't reliably indicate a rope's cut resistance. This raises the question: Do any other rope specifications provide useful insights into cut resistance? How can users choose equipment to mitigate the significant risk of rope failure?

In this episode, we explore additional rope characteristics to see if they offer clues about cut resistance.

If we don't find answers here, it suggests two things: First, the varying cut resistance among ropes likely stems from different constructions that users can't easily detect. Second, it underscores the need for a standardized test to reliably measure and communicate this characteristic to users.
