What is the difference between kilogrammes and kilonewtons

The reason we need karabs at the bottom, is the hall has no flaying space, so the lines will be swung out sideways with no load, when they are dropped in, the load needs to be quick to attach.

Completely off topic, but it seems to have pretty much finished anyway - I thought that fall arrest systems limit the force excerted on the body to below 6KN, rather than that being the ammount of force needed to deploy them? If you must use a carabiner, how about a Petzl William or similar. It provides a twist lock, allowing it to be opened with a simple twist of thumb and finger yet locks shut once the load is in place.

Again, it's rated at 25kN. You can post now and register later. If you have an account, sign in now to post with your account. Paste as plain text instead. Only 75 emoji are allowed. Display as a link instead. Clear editor. Upload or insert images from URL. Share More sharing options Followers 0.

The kilogram is a unit of mass. The newton is a unit of force. So 1 kilonewton is the force produced by kg Hope this helps Seano Posted June 15, AndrewR Posted June 15, Anything marked with KN is showing a breaking strain!
