Oval carabiners are pretty cool for belaying because although they do tend to move around, they always align themselves along the stronger axis. And they are usually super durable, because made of steel

So why is the weak axis often flat? Is there a practical reason for it to be flat, or is it just a design choice?

@Flaime69 2 жыл бұрын

you want to avoid the carabiner being loaded flat (called cross loading) as much as you can. the carabiner gets its strength from the spine and cross loading pulls on it unfavorably.

What material are Carabinas made from ? Are they Chrome Moly Steel ? Are they hardened and tempered?

@Candesce 3 жыл бұрын

It doesn't really matter because climbing carabiners are rated for certain loads, no matter what material they are. The material affects price and weight more than anything else. Steel and aluminium are common.

All climbing-rated carabiners are effectively equivalent strength within error tolerance. If every kN mattered, we would all be climbing on steel carabiners.

What do the numbers and symbols mean on carabiners?

@nathanaelmccooeye3204 3 жыл бұрын

Hey, it's a rating of its strength. From REI website: Carabiners are rated for strength in three directions: lengthwise (major axis), sideways (minor axis) and while open (major axis open or "gate open"). These ratings are typically marked on the spine of the carabiner. All climbing carabiners pass UIAA and CE standards, which means they are plenty strong enough as long as you use them correctly. Gate-open strength and minor-axis strength are where you see the most variation.

The locking mechanism on a biner does not affect the strength. It just keeps the gate shut.

@Vim_Tim 8 ай бұрын

For climbing purposes, strength rating is basically irrelevant as long as it's UIAA or CE certified. Carabiner failure occurs due to compromised, unrated scenarios (e.g. hooked nose, leveraged over an edge...) Material is also irrelevant because it's all aluminum. Steel is an option but unnecessary for the vast majority of use-cases.
