Engineering:Static rope
A static rope, or a semi-static rope is a low-elongation rope that is designed to stretch minimally when placed under load; typically less than 5%. In contrast, a dynamic rope is designed to stretch up to 40%.[1] Static ropes have a wide variety of applications, for instance in climbing, fire rescue operations[2] and caving.[3]
Static ropes have some applications in climbing, such as for hauling gear, abseiling, and top-roping in some situations.[4]
Rated static ropes usually conform to the EN 1891 standard split into EN 1891 Type A, and EN 1891 Type B. Type A ropes are intended for general use due to their superior strength; whereas Type B ropes are intended for use in specialised circumstances where their usually thinner diameter and lower weight are critical for an operation.[5][6]
