spiral (metal mesh): a single transverse coil of wire that is the basic element from which metal mesh is fabricated.
struiqhi-linc hitch: a method of rigging a sling in which an eye opening, end fitting, or one end of the sling is attached to the Load, and the other eye opening, end fitting, or end of the sling is attached to a hook, shackle, or other load’handling device
strand-laid rope: a wire rope made with strands (usually six to eight) formed around a fiber core, wire str,ind core, or independent wire rope core (IWIIC).
swu,ce’d socket: an end fitting into which a wire rope is inserted and lwn I)ermanently attached by mechanical loInpression applied to the cwkeI shank.
tenacity: liwasurement of strength of the fiber or yarn where strength is defined as the force divided by the linear density. This is typically expressed as grahuis force per denier (gpd)
turnhackswuqed eye spike (wire IOj;4’). a mechanical splice in which the rope is looped back on itselfand secured with one or inure metal sleeves The term return loop is commonly used to describe a turnback swaged eye.
vertical hitch: see .struight.line hitch.
yarn: a generic term for a continwus strand of fibers.
