	Rope splicing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Rope splicing is the forming of a semi-permanent join between two ropes or two parts of the same rope by partly untwisting and then interweaving their strands.
		Splices can be used to form a stopper at the end of a line, to form a loop or an eye in a rope, or for joining two ropes together.
		The end of the rope with the splice is about twice the thickness of the rest of the rope.

	Glossary of Terms
		Rope splicing is a very strong method of fixing a loop eye; as the rope is pulled tighter so the spliced strands become more and more squeezed and locked into place.
		Rope splicing removes the worry of a knot becoming undone and a spliced eye is less bulky.
		The center of the rope may be hollow, such as in a hollow braid, allowing for easy splicing; or it may have a center rope of parallel fibers.

	30 Hour Rope splicing
		The only method of splicing a Long Case Clock rope I have seen published is to unlay six inches of rope at both ends, tie square knots at regular intervals, and then stitch up and down the joined ends to hold them together.
		The rope is made up of twelve strands plus a centre core which is about the same diameter as the strands.
		The rope is very "soft laid", which is necessary for the spikes of the clocks weight pulley to grip.

		Because of the wide range of rope use, exposure to the several factors affecting rope behavior, and the degree of risk to life and property involved, it is impossible to make blanket recommendations as to working loads.
		Ropes have lower tensile strengths at higher temperatures 30% (or more) lower at the boiling point of water (212°F) and continuing on down to zero strengths for nylon and polyester at 480°F and 300°F for polypropylene.
		UV degradation is indicated by discoloration and the presence of splinters and slivers on the surface of the rope.

		Splicing is used to join ropes together by interweaving the strands of the rope.
		However, with a splice the rope is 85 to 90 percent as strong as the original rope.
		Splicing should be used whenever there is a concern about safety or when the loop or joint is going to be left in the rope.

	Patent 4018039
		Splicing of rope includes both the formation of a closed loop at one end, i.e., an eye splice, and the joining of two running lengths.
		It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a device for splicing rope, especially the modern synthetic types, wherein a hard rope end such as formed by a melt cutting operation passes through at least one opening formed in a running length of said rope.
		This splice may be considered complete at this point or further operations may be carried out so as to form additional openings further down the running length of the rope R and the progressive workings of the end E therethrough in the same manner as hereinabove described.

		From Mark "D" measure down the rope approximately 5 full fid lengths and tie a slip knot or figure 8 knot in the rope.
		To tighten, hold the rope at the crossover point and alternately pull on the free ends of the cover and core.
		This is accomplished by holding the rope at the top of eye and sliding the cover slack back from the knot towards the splice.

		Samson's line of Tree Ropes are specifically engineered to maximize performance where ropes are expected to provide a margin of security for climbers working in the tree, running against bark and through crotches, support and control of descending loads, while providing a reasonable working life.
		Because of the wide range of rope use, changes in rope conditions, exposure to the many factors affecting rope behavior, and the possibility of risk to life and property, it is impossible to cover all aspects of rope applications or to make blanket recommendations as to working loads.
		In extreme cases, the force put on the rope may be two, three, or even more timess the normal load involved, Examples could be ropes used as a tow line, picking up a load on a slack line, or using rope to stop a falling object.

	Wire Rope Splicing
		Splicing is the joining of two rope ends to form a long splice in two pieces of rope, making a single continuous loop.
		The Long Splice is used for splicing Haulage Ropes and long lengths of wire rope operating under heavy loads.
		ANSI specifications for splice length are 1200 times the diameter of the rope, or 30 times the diameter for tuck ends.

		Turn the whole splice over, then take the third end (C) and lead it over to the right of the third strand, so that the third tuck can, again, be made from right to left, as in step 3.
		The eye splice used is based upon the construction of the rope, which employs both "Z," or right-handed lay strands, and "S," or left-handed strands.
		Taper the unlaid rope yarns or it will be impossible to apply a serving to the decreasing diameter of the splice.

	Splicing Tips
		For each splice the length of extra rope is equal to 1-1/2 fid lengths plus 1/2 the circumference of the eye.
		The "fid length" for a rope is calculated as 21 times the rope diameter.
		The length of the splicing tool called a "fid" may or may not have a 1:1 correlation with the fid length for a given rope diameter.

	Splicing Three Strand Rope by Don Casey
		A splice you put in yourself will be just as strong as one done by a professional rigger, and splicing an eye into three-strand rope is really very easy.
		The splice begins at the wrap of tape on the rope, so this marks the closing point of the eye.
		Lift a strand on the standing part of the rope at the point where you want the eye to close and tuck the center strand under it.

		First, there is a serious dearth of information relating to the subject of rope making up to about the 1700s.
		John Roper (aka John Nelson) first learned about rope making as a boy scout in the mid-1960s and as an adult re-discovered it in 1997 when he went with a troop of Boy Scouts to a Civil War re-enactment in Calico, California.
		We are looking forward to adding many useful things to this and subsequent pages on all aspects of rope, twine, cord, and other twisted fiber information, but our bosses do expect us to go to work on a regular basis.

		Extra crossing ropes would not be a bad idea, and all cargo underneath should be secured independently of the tarp, to keep the tarp from having to do the job of a net.
		Cotton rope is less likely to "burn" when pulled through the hands and prevents rope burns if a horse should get tangled when tied.
		It's common to use a rope much stronger than needed just to be thick enough to "get a grip." If you are using a knot that is correct for a given purpose then other knots will probably not be more than 10% or 20% stronger.
