![]() ![]() This way, the inserted Z-strand pair runs along the adjacent two Z-strands, and the inserted S-strand pair runs along the adjacent two S-strands. S-strands will be spliced with Z-strands and Z-strands will be spliced with S-strands. S-strands twist counterclockwise and Z-strands twist clockwise. Keep in mind that you’ll have to separate the S-strands from the Z-strands. Now you will need to unbraid the strands and prepare the ropes for splicing. Once you have decided on length, make markings on the rope strands and use some tape around the rope that will be unbraided next. Usually a length of 4 meters should suffice to make an eye splice. Starting with splicing, you will need to measure the desired length, plus some extra length for the splicing. The tools you need to perform an eye splice to a synthetic or high modulus rope are: How to make an eye splice for 24-strand rope.How to make an eye splice for 8-strand rope.How to splice mooring rope step by step : Are you trying to find ways on how to tie an eye splice knot ? In this blogpost the Katradis SA team shows you how to eye splice an 8-strand, 12-strand and 24-strand rope. One type of splicing is the eye splicing used to create a rope loop, mainly for mooring purposes. While knots weaken the rope by more than 20% most of the time, splicing attains a rope’s full strength. Splicing is vastly used in marine life in order to make semi-permanent joints between two parts of a rope. NEPTUNE SERVICE SOLUTIONS / ROPE INSPECTION.The amount a rope will be weakened will depend on the knot, type of rope and the material from which it is made but can be up to 60%. This loss is caused by the tight bends and compression found in any knot. Knots: A knot will reduce the strength of the rope, sometimes very significantly. Small diameter double braid line (less than ¼”) often cannot be spliced by common methods and must be sewn A good splice using the recommended method should not reduce the strength of a rope by more than 10%. Splices: Most ropes can be spliced, this is normally the preferred method of termination. Anyone can learn to splice all it requires is the correct tools, the instructions for the type of rope you are working with and the patience to learn the techniques involved. The advantages of a splice over a knot are primarily a cleaner appearance, a higher working load, it is less susceptible to snagging on other rigging, and it is more permanent. A splice is a clean and simple way to add a loop in the end of a line, be it a halyard, sheet, or control line. Halyards and Sheets should be inspected often for wear and replaced when visible signs of wear become significant.
