THese are slings Cracklover sent me. He pulled these fixed draws off a sport route and replaced them....for good reason.
Anyway,... he wants to see what they will bust at and is encouraging people to have a guess at their break strength....so....
"Go"

i'll go 1 KN for the blue one and 16 KN for the Petzl (two tone). THe petzl is about 10-15 % cut. The blue one is 80-90 % cut. The weather exposure feels like 2 years max with minimal direct sun.

 I thought the pic of the blue one was post-test. WTF???
I change to 1.5 for the blue one and stay at my old guess for the petzl.

To clarify...
Do I have these labeled right?
Because if I have it right, the last image seems to show that B has a lot more material left that seems not to be visible in the other pix.
Oh, and did you find the letter? I'm pretty sure my guess was in there.
Thanks again!

You have them labelled correctly. Dont let the angle of the last shot fool you. There is about 10-15% material remaining.....it was just the angle of the shot that makes it look more.
Have to go thru the pile of paperwork on my desk for your letter. Ill find it though.

Yeah.... I know. Stuck right now working seven days a week 12-15 hour days. Paid work comes first, then my sick dog, then busting things non work related. Going to bust the slings this weekend. But thanks for the kick in the butt.... i can always use an extra one of those (seriously)
Cracklover,,...found your letter: The more worn one (OP sling) you said no more than a couple Kilonewtons. No guess for the Petzl in your letter.

Okay, for the Petzl I'll guess 15kN or less. Who knows, maybe much less - if it starts ripping on the side that's compromised...
