Recognizing Damage in Nylon-Slings

Before using web slings, inspect the slings for any of the following damages. If the inner red safety core yarns become visible, remove them from service.*

Abrasion Damage
Can result from friction between the sling and an abrasive surface or from pulling the sling from under the load.
Cut Damage
A cut is a clean break in the webbing resulting from contact with a sharp load edge. If inner red safety core yarns are visible, remove sling from service.
Acid Damage
Acid or caustic vapors destroy the integrity of the nylon filaments. If slings show any sign of acid damage, promptly discard them.
Tensile break
Can result from sling overload. A frayed appearance at the failure point indicates this type of break. Never handle a load with an under capacity sling.
Snags & Punctures
Sharp objects can snag or puncture sling webbing. Due to the inability to determine the amount of sling loss on this type of damage, remove the sling from service.
Heat Damage
A sling exposed to heat above 194º Fahrenheit (90º Celsius) has lost its efficiency and should be removed from service.
