The elongation of synthetic rope is caused by the braiding and plaiting of the rope. New developments in synthetic fiber nnay soon eliminate the elonga- tion problem. Polyurethane coverings on the rope would eliminate the problem of fish bites. Because synthetic ropes do not appear to be well enough advanced for deep sea mooring systems, they were not selected for use on the surface plant mooring system. Two types of chains are feasible for use

Polyurethane coverings on the rope would eliminate the problem of fish bites. Because synthetic ropes do not appear to be well enough advanced for deep sea mooring systems, they were not selected for use on the surface plant mooring system. Two types of chains are feasible for use on surface plant mooring systems; 1020 carbon steel and 8620 high-strength steel alloy chain. The latter was chosen because of its high reliability. It was recommended that the chain be proof-tested at half the breaking strength and rated at half the proof-test Angle of Mooring Leg Tangent at Anchor (degrees) Figure 12.
