What is Mil Spec Type 3?
Hardcoat Anodize is Type III which is done under more exacting process conditions resulting in a harder, denser, thicker, and more abrasion resistant coating. Hardcoat thicknesses can vary from 0.0005 to 0.0030” and beyond but is dependent on the specific alloy being anodized.
What is the difference between Type 3 and Type 4 paracord?
Type III has a minimum strength of 550 pounds, with a minimum of 225 feet per pound. It is the most widely used paracord, due to its good balance of strength and quality for an affordable price. Type IV is a very strong cord, with a minimum strength of 750 pounds and a minimum of 165 feet per pound.
What is Type 3 nylon?
Parachute cord (also paracord or 550 cord when referring to type-III paracord) is a lightweight nylon kernmantle rope originally used in the suspension lines of parachutes. This cord is now used as a general purpose utility cord. The now inactivated US military standard MIL-C-5040H required the material to be nylon.
What is the thickness of anodizing?
Anodizing typically ranges up to 5 mils thickness. The three most common variations of aluminum anodizing include chromic anodizing (type I), sulfuric anodizing (type II) and hard anodizing (type III).
How strong is 7 strand paracord?
550 pounds
It is 1/8″ in diameter with 7 twisted inner Strands all made from 1000 Denier Polyester – as strong or stronger than nylon. The average tested breaking strength is 550 pounds, and it resists shrinking, color fading and tangling.
How do you determine the thickness of anodize?
The most common means of measuring the thickness of anodized aluminum is the Eddy Current Method (Figure 1). The Eddy Current Method uses a probe that contains a coil. This probe/coil is driven by a high–frequency oscillator to generate an alternating high-frequency field.
