    1/8" Dyneema Break Tests

    Looking over some testing on 1/8" Dyneema synthetic rope, this break test video illustrates a method that should work pretty well.

    For instance, the bury splice should be suitable for looping around a tree trunk.

    A 6-foot length with long bury splices at each end, then run around the tree and run one loop thru the other.

    One might encase it in a sleeve to further protect the tree.

    The above video was copied from this URL (http://www.chicagoyachtrigging.com/tag/dyneema/) from the Chicage Yacht Club testing performed on various tests, some of which are at the above link.


    For the full series of tests:

    1/8″ Dyneema Break Test Bracket: Quarterfinal Rd 1 Skiff Knot vs Bury Splice

    1/8″ Dyneema Break Test Bracket: Quarterfinal Rd 2: Loop vs Short Bury Splice

    1/8″ Dyneema Break Test Bracket: Quarterfinal Rd 3: Bowline vs Sliding Sling Splice

    1/8″ Dyneema Break Test Bracket: Quarterfinal Rd 4 Soft Shackle vs Brummel Splice

    1/8″ Dyneema Break Test Bracket: Semi Final 1 Full Bury Splice vs Short Bury

    1/8″ Dyneema break test bracket Semi Final 2: Brummel Splice vs Sliding Splice

    That concludes the break testing for now, if you have suggestions or requests for similar tests feel free to get in touch with me at [email protected]
