Inter-link wear may be tolerated until the thickness at the point of contact has
been reduced to 90% of the nominal diameter. This measurement should be
taken in 2 directions at right angles from each other.

Understanding Working Load Limits
When using a single leg sling in a choke hitch the working load
limit (WLL) must be reduced by 20%.
If using grab hooks as shortening clutches, those without
cradles to support the chain links, result in the reduction of the
WLL by 20%.
The WLL of a two leg sling applies under normal conditions of
use in a straight configuration and is based on the uniform
load method of rating. If however, the load is not evenly
distributed between each leg the WLL of the sling must be
reduced by 30%.
The WLL of a multi leg sling is always shown with the
applicable angle between the legs or angle from the vertical. If
the sling is used at a different angle, the WLL must be adjusted
accordingly. Slings must not be used when the angle between
the legs exceeds 120° or 60° from the vertical. (see WLL table
for details)
When a sling is wrapped around an edge, it is recommended
that the radius of the corner is at least 2 x the chain size. When
the radius is less than twice but still more than the chain size,
the WLL must be reduced by 30% and it isn’t recommended to
use chain around a sharp edge.
