Rigging Matters
with an eye to AWES operations; AWE invites rigging mastery.
Kite lines
are considered “machines.” The configuration and method of manufacture
combined with the proper selection of material when designed for a
specific purpose enables a kite line to transmit forces, motion, and
energy in some predetermined manner and to some desired end.

- Lifting & Rigging by RopeBlock
- "Main input parameters for designing a block are:
> Application information (type of crane)
> Working Load Limit (WLL)
> Number of falls / number of sheaves
> Wire rope type and diameter
> D/d ratio
> Becket dimensions or applied socket type
> Operational temperature
> Weight requirements
> Subsea use"
- FOS factor of safety The Factor of Safety is the ratio between minimum breaking load and safe working load.
