Shock loading, unbalanced
loading, over loading and
inadequate consideration for the effect of angle factors can adversely effect strength. |
Any of these can seriously degrade sling strength. Red core yarns can aid in locating
damaged webbing. |
Roundslings |
Being polyester, is seriously degraded at temperatures above 200°F. |
Shock loading, unbalanced loading, over loading and inadequate consideration for the effect of angle factors can adversely effect strength. |
When the sleeve on a roundsling has been damaged so that the inner load bearing yarns can be exposed, the sling MUST be discarded. |

Nylon & polyester web slings are adversely affected by prolonged exposure to UV light, i.e. sunlight or arc welding. |
Roundslings |
Material such as metal chips, weld splatter, heavy grit, etc. can damage the Roundsling's cover. |
