Static and Semi-static

Semi-static ropes (AKA low stretch) are utilized in caving, and that they area unit rated to carry low-impact falls underneath FF1. There are different types of UIAA certifications for ropes. Semi-static rope, dynamic rope, and full static ropes are the various certifications.

Low stretch kernmantel ropes (static ropes) are designed for protection of persons working at height and above free depth, for use in rope access, speleology, human rescue and other similar activities (combined ascent and descent of persons, safety device for work positioning in rope access, lowering and raising of persons in rescue, as a means for ascent, descent and horizontal motion in speleology).

The rope is always a part of the rope access system. Neither the manufacturer nor the distributor shall be held responsible for damages caused by improper use of the low stretch kernmantel rope (referred to as “rope” hereinafter).

Use of low stretch kernmantel ropes according to EN 1891. There area unit 2 sorts of static ropes obtainable, type A ropes and type B ropes. Type B ropes are sized for lower performance than type A ropes. Both rope varieties should be protected in use against mechanical damages (abrasion, cutting, chafing, etc).

The static ropes don't seem to be designed for impressive falls, the user shall avoid this risk. Check before use that the semi-static rope is compatible with the remaining components of your instrumentation. The manufacturer recommends testing the whole equipment in a safe place with no risk of falls.

Type A ropes shall be most popular to B ropes for the defense of persons functioning at height and higher than free depth, to be used in rope access, speleology, human rescue and other similar activities (combined ascent and descent of persons, safety device for work positioning in rope access, lowering and raising of persons in rescue, as a means for the ascent, descent and horizontal motion in speleology).
