INTRODUCTION

What is Knot tying?

Knot tying involves the technique of tying knots on a rope, cloth, nylon, or other object. Properly tying a knot can be the difference between a charming, chaotic, and sometimes life-and-death knot.

What is a Knot?

A knot can be described as a fastener that connects long materials such as ropes in a constant manner.

Knot history

Sailors have been using this term since the 17th century to measure the speed of ships using a device called "log". As civilization grew, the use of ropes and knots was essential for building construction, especially cranes and hoists. The Chinese knot has been a form of Chinese folk art in China since the Tang and Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD) and later became popular in the Ming Dynasty.

Qualities of a good knot

A good knot should have the following qualities:

Strength

Knots tend to loosen the rope in which they made. When a knot is pulled, the rope is usually torn, always on or near the knot. Smart users pay more attention to the strength of the rope chosen for work under the influence of knots, age, breakage and impact. Smart users pay more attention to the strength of the rope chosen for work under the influence of knots, age, breakage and impact.

The load limit of the rope, for example, is generally set by a maximum of 15: 1 , which is an important safety factor.

Safety

Even if the rope is not broken, the knot has a possibility of failing. It is said that a strong knot is more reliable than a weak knot in various adverse conditions.

Easy to untie

The effort used to untie knots after loading differs. Jamming knots are knots that become extremely difficult to untangle.

Bight

A bight is an arc between the rope or the ends of a loose rope or loop.
