Efficiency ratings for wire rope end terminations are based upon the wire rope
manufactures breaking strength. The efficiency rating of a properly prepared loop
or thimble-eye termination for clip sizes 1/8" thru 5/8"  is 80%.

The number of clips shown (see table) is based upon using RRL or RLL wire rope
6 x 19 or 6 x 37 Class, FC or IWRC; IPS or XIP.

The numbers of clips shown also applies to rotation resistant RRL wire rope.
8 x 19 Class, IP, XIP and rotation resistant RRLwire rope,
19 x 7 Class IFS, XIP.

In Accordance with good rigging and maintenance practices
the wire rope end termination should be inspected periodically
for wear, abuse and general adequacy.
