Breaking Strain
Similar Terms: BS,Breaking Load,BL,MBL,MBS
The load at or around which a major failure or breakage could occur to some part of the products structure. No product should be used at more than half of the breaking strain so as to provide a minimum Safety Factor of 2. Therefore as a guide, a safe working load (SWL) can be 25 to 50% of the breaking strain, but will depend on the usage and the standard required.
Â
When you divide the Minimum Breaking Load (MBL) by the Safety Factor (SF), this will give you the Safe Working Load (SWL).
