TEMPERATURE
High and low temperatures can influence rope performance in a variety
of ways. Ambient temperature conditions should be well understood
and within the limits outlined in Table 2. Generally speaking, extremely
cold temperatures commonly will not have a negative impact on rope
performance. However, moisture and subsequent freezing will impact a
rope’s handling and flexibility, but with no known negative long-term impact
on rope life. High temperatures can reduce a rope’s strength and fatigue
resistance. If temperatures exceed the limits shown in Table 2, special care
should be taken to ensure the product is fit-for-purpose.
