1、Designation: F2116 01 (Reapproved 2015)Standard Specification forLow Stretch and Static Kernmantle Life Safety Rope1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2116; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year
2、 of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers the general characteristics oflow stretch or static kernmantle ropes used for rescueappl
3、ications, whatever their constituent material. This specifi-cation does not apply to dynamic rope intended for leadclimbing.1.2 This specification covers small diameter sizes com-monly used in life safety applications. These include sizes 7 to16 mm (932 to58 in.).1.3 The values stated in SI units sh
4、all be considered asstandard. Values in inch-pound units are included for reference.1.4 In the event of any conflict between the text of thisspecification and any references cited, the text of this specifi-cation takes preference.1.5 This specification may involve hazardous materials,operations, and
5、 equipment. This standard does not purport toaddress all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with itsuse. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard toestablish appropriate safety and health practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Refere
