| Nominal Diameter (Inches) | Average Spliced Break Strength *(Lbs) | Minimum Spliced Break Strength *(Lbs) | Maximum Working Load 5:1 **(Lbs) | Weight (Lbs/100f) |
| 5/16 | 3,600 | 3,240 | 720 | 2.3 |
| Nominal Diameter (mm) | Average Spliced Break Strength *(kg) | Minimum Spliced Break Strength *(kg) | Maximum Working Load 5:1 **(kg) | Weight (Kg/100m) |

* Knots and abrupt bends significantly reduce the strength of all ropes and lower the maximum working load.
** Working load is based on static or moderately dynamic lifting/pulling operations. Instantaneous changes in load, up or down, in excess of 10% of the rope’s rated working load constitute hazardous shock load and would void the normal working-load recommendation. Consult Yale Cordage for guidelines for working loads and the safe use of rope.
Specific Gravity: 1.38
Dielectric Strength: The maximum allowable leakage for clean, dry PE-12 and Pilot Line is 100 micro-amperes when tested at 100kV per Yale Method 712-1701 Rev 1 "Routine Production Test." Absorbed and entrained moisture or impurities will increase rope's conductivity dramatically.
