3.6 Extraneous material. No extraneous material shall be added for the purpose of weighting the rope. The
extractable matter of the finished rope shall not exceed 4.0 percent when tested as specified in 4.5.6.
3.7 Moisture content.
The moisture content of the rope shall not exceed 5.0 percent when tested as specified
in 4.5.8.
3.8 Identification marker. The double braided nylon rope shall be identified by a water-resistant marker
inserted between the braids in all ropes larger than 1 - 1/8 inch circumference. Unless otherwise specified (see
6.2), the manufacturer's name, the year of manufacture, and type of fiber (nylon) shall be printed on the marker in
bold, easy-to-read type which shall be clearly printed on the marker. Italic or script type shall not be used. The
printing shall not be affected by exposure to saltwater or mineral oil, when tested as specified in 4.5.7.
3.9 Identification tag. In addition to the requirements specified in 3.8, a ticket (identification tag) shall be
attached to each package unit. The ticket shall be in accordance with type B, class 1, size 4 or 5, 15 CSU grade

3.10 Put-up. Unless otherwise specified (see 6.2), the rope shall be furnished without knots or splices on non
returnable reels not larger than 7 feet in diameter. Unless otherwise specified (see 6.2), multiple lengths shall be
permitted in the same put-up. When specified (see 6.2), continuous lengths, other than a standard length, may be
used. The rope shall be ordered by weight, as specified (see 6.2). Delivered weight per reel shall be within plus 10
percent minus 0 percent of the weight specified in table IV. The weight for lengths other than standard shall be
determined in accordance with table IV with the proper length ratio applied. However, the actual length shall be
not less than the standard length, when measured in a relaxed condition.
3.10.1 Braider splices. Braider splices shall be the overlapping continuation of a single interrupted strand (or
multiple strand) with another identical strand which follows the identical path in the braid. Although it is
desirable that no braider splices be present in the core or the cover of any size and length of rope, some methods of
manufacture impose limitations. To compensate for these limitations, braider splices shall be in accordance with
3.10.1.1 through 3.10.1.3.
3.10.1.1 Standard length or less. To allow for a braider malfunction, one braider splice shall be permitted in
the core and in the cover for standard length or less as specified in table IV.
