Method
Configuration Blue Whale to Blue Whale
Determines the webbing's own MBS. This device, the Blue Whale, is based on the device used by the ISA for testing the strength of slackline webbings. We have created our own version that has a slightly different anchor method for the tail and modified anchor hole to fit our test machine. The device has an 80mm drum that the webbing wraps around and is ultimately anchored at the back of the device with a short sewn loop.
The Blue Whale is anchored to the test bed directly, with each end in opposite orientations. The webbing wraps around each side in opposite ways to allow for even stretching across the width and thickness of the webbing to prevent uneven loading caused by bent samples. Since the webbing is ultimately anchored with a short sewn loop, the entire sample is able to be tested as there are no tails exiting the sample space.
