3.4.3 Texture. The texture of the finished rope shall be firm without sleaziness, and the cover (outer braid)
shall fit closely around the core (inner braid) when inspected with the rope in a relaxed state.
3.5 Physical requirements. The finished rope shall conform to the physical properties specified in table III
when tested as specified in 4.5. The circumference in accordance with table III shall be as specified (see 6.2).
3.5.1 Elongation. The elongation of the ropes shall not exceed 40 percent at the minimum breaking strength
when determined as specified in 4.5.5. The load elongation curve, drawn autographically, shall not exhibit
evidence of sudden changes in load applications greater than 5 percent of the load weighted at the instant of
change. Changes due to splice slippage shall not be considered in this determination.
