What is the difference in weight per 100 feet of:
- seatbelt polyester 1" strap (3500#)
- regular polyster 1" strap (3500#)
- heavyweight 1" polypro (900#)
- high tenacity 1" polypro (1750#)
- 1/8" Amsteel Blue (2500#) - 0.5#/100ft
- 7/64" Amsteel Blue (1600#) - 0.3#/100ft
- Other (lighter)?
I expect that the strap weights would proportion by strap width. In other words 3/4" strap would be 3/4 the weight of 1" strap? I did notice that the cord doesn't always proportion by r1^2/r2^2
Is there a "rule of thumb" for minimum suspension strength versus weight in hammock? 4X? 6X? more?
Thanks
Dan
