Strength of dyneema grommets?
I have been making some overlapping dyneema grommets from the working rope book, and in light of the recent soft shackle testing, I am wondering if the two styles of grommets have been pull tested?
What percent of line strength does the overlapping grommet break at, and what about a grommet with a full 72 diameter tail bury?
Do the overlapping grommets get weaker as the circumference decreases?
My guess would be that we should get close to 200% of the line strength, but I have seen no data to validate that guess.
