20 kn carabiner Material(s): aluminum; Min. A patented stainless-steel wire hood brings keylock functionality to wiregate carabiners without losing the lightweight and anti-freezing benefits. \" Copied form this posting: While any metal link with a spring-loaded gate is technically a carabiner, the strict usage among the climbing community specifically refers only to devices manufactured and tested for load-bearing in safety-critical systems like rock and mountain climbing, typically rated to 20 kN or more. 8 oz • Gate Opening . All that’s holding the gate to the carabiner is a pin where the spring portion of the gate is located. Designed to meet the tough-use conditions met by Rescue Technicians. 93 Inch, Large Size, Black Current carabiner strength standards are single pull to failure (SPTF) measurements that do not represent the cyclic loads applied to carabiners under normal climbing conditions in which carabiners are subject to repeated loading due to falling, hanging, and lowering. Specifications: Major Axis Strength: 20 kN; Minor Axis Strength: 8 kN; Gate Strength: 7 kN; Maximum Workling Load: 2 x 2 = 4kN; Efficiency: 85%; Sheave Diameter: 18 mm. Open Gate: 7kN for D and Offset D carabiners, 6kN for HMS, and 5 kN for ovals. May 16, 2023 ยท All carabiners*, regardless of gate style, are required to meet the same strength standard of 20 kN in the closed-gate configuration (see UIAA-121/EN12275). yrnqmckluvbeegvndozzddtvlcyjosiaueadfsocugdloqtjqchzhsdyybjgokfuxzmkvoljgfceeplwuge
