| TECHNICAL FEATURES |
The values of the technical data below are given for the use of single rope/half rope/twin rope respectively
NUMBER OF FALLS: 5 / 24 / > 25
IMPACT FORCE: [7.9-8.1] kN / [5.6-5.8] kN / [9.1-9.3] kN
DYNAMIC ELONGATION: 34% / 32% / 29%
STATIC ELONGATION: 8% / 8% / 7%
SHEATH SLIPPAGE: 0 mm
NUMBER OF SPINDLES: 48
LENGTH: 80 METRES
DIAMETER: 9.1 mm |
| WEIGHT |
52 g/m
PLEASE NOTE: The weight is measured according to the EN 892 standard.
For example, for a single rope, the rope must be exposed to 10 kg of tension for 1 minute in very precise temperature and moisture conditions.
This gives you the real weight of the rope, which is often superior to the weight given by the standard.
The weight measurement according to the standard is used to compare two ropes to each other. |
| WHAT IS BEAL UNICORE? |
A process consisting of bonding the rope's core and sheath without affecting its suppleness.
If the sheath is cut or torn, the core and the sheath remain bonded together.
With a standard rope, if the sheath is cut by abrasion over an edge, a common occurrence in the mountains, it slides and gathers over several metres. |
| BELAYING PRECAUTIONS |
Used as a single rope, this rope is not suitable for all hands and devices: its thinness (9.1 mm) means that this rope requires advanced belaying skills. Standard devices will have reduced braking, while certain automatic devices may not work with this small diameter. |
| DRY COVER TREATMENT |
This innovation makes rope more resistant to abrasion and various factors such as falls, heat, dust and moisture, and significantly improves longevity. |
| WASHING YOUR ROPE |
It's important to properly care for your rope to reduce wear.
As dirt wears ropes down, we recommend:
1- using a rope cover;
2- If the rope is dirty, wash it with clean, lukewarm water.
Should stains persist and you want to wash it with soap, it is important to use a pH-neutral soap (such as Marseilles/household soap) and then rinse thoroughly with clean water.
3- Air dry the rope out of the sun and away from all sources of heat. |
| STORING YOUR ROPE |
Ropes should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from light, humidity, and corrosive agents. Never leave ropes inside a car during summer, for example. |
| CHECKING YOUR ROPE |
It is important to check your rope regularly. To do so, run the rope through your hands and inspect it metre by metre along its entire length. This will allow you to spot any nicks, cuts, abrasion or weak points. If you notice any anomalies or irregularities, if the core is visible in certain places, if the rope is deformed or has exceeded its fall rating, it must be changed. Take safety seriously! |
| ROPE LENGTH EVOLUTION |
LENGTH: 80 METRES
As they get older, all climbing ropes reduce in size. This generally ranges from 2 to 5% but can be up to 10% depending on humidity, heat, falls, washing, etc. This is why we recommend that you measure your rope on a regular basis. |
