Boiling Webbing?

[Storker]

oh, and dumplings! Don't forget the dumplings....

Or the herbs.

All the webbing and hardware you can dream of.... You can buy it by the Roll or the Foot...

Jim...

Fantastic! Thanks.

I've recently begun to experiment with Molle webbing I got from Vintage Double Hose.
Vintage Double Hose • View topic - SCUBA / MOLLE Webbing If you're into customizing your harness, this could be the thing you're looking for. It is a bit more flexible than the standard harness webbing that usually is sold for a backplate harness.

you need to know :

thickness (depends on thread size) x method of knitting = denier ( tell us how many how many thread loops per square inch you have )

What is Denier | Standard Fiber

for sure you have denier number for technical wings and dry suit for straps is more rear but still

@lucca brassi webbing is not knit, it is woven. Denier is messed up unit that is a function of density of the polymer and is dated back to the weight of 9000m of silk worm silk. It is only useful when comparing polymers of like densities. In this case it tells you how thick the individual yarns are, but this is not necessarily indicative of how thick the webbing is. Weaving webbing can often lead to many layers of webbing using very thin yarn which makes a much stronger fabric than one layer of thick yarn.
Denier of the webbing while somewhat related to the bending rigidity of the webbing has nothing to do with resin impregnation which is what makes the backplate webbing as rigid as it is.

As a Master Parachute Rigger.. Seal # QGT.... The webbing that we use for scuba gear is like super over kill... The webbing's can take THOUSANDS of lbs shock loading... We will never get that loading on the harness... What we are looking at in scuba diving is abrasion and salt water corrosion... You could have a Type 7 webbing ripped 7/8 of the way through and it would last longer then you will live... Nylon is so strong we could use a 1/4 inch webbing and still be fine...

Jim.....

add carrots, potato, celery & onions...... maybe some pan seared seasoned beef..... salt & pepper to taste

Thank you, Julia Cousteau.

Jim.....

but good lord it would be uncomfortable... We use the 2" webbing because of load distribution not strength, and the thickness is primarily for abrasion resistance as well as rigidity for getting into and out of them. Thin webbing is prone to cupping under tension. This is seen especially in tourniquets where the edges of the webbing cut into the patient and can push through the skin. For scuba, that is why we don't use seat belt webbing or non-resin impregnated webbing since that would be extremely uncomfortable to try to carry around doubles. The resin impregnated webbing gives the double advantage of staying flat when under tension as well as roughly holding its shape so you can get into and out of the rig much easier
