What is Carabiner?
A carabiner is a metal loop with a spring-loaded gate used to quickly and reversibly connect components.
Here’s a rundown on what you should know about carabiners:
- Materials: Typically made from steel or aluminum, they are designed to be both lightweight and strong.
- Design: Carabiners come in various shapes including D-shaped, oval, and asymmetrical.
- Locking Mechanisms: Some have a locking mechanism (screw lock or auto-lock) to prevent the gate from accidentally opening.
- Usage: They are essential tools in climbing, rappelling, and mountaineering for attaching ropes, harnesses, and other gear. Carabiners are also used in safety systems and material handling.
- Strength Ratings: Carabiners are rated for strength in three dimensions: longitudinal (major axis), open gate, and cross-loaded (minor axis).
- Certification: Look for certifications like UIAA (International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation) or CE (European Conformity) which indicate that the carabiner meets safety standards.
They are indispensable tools in many technical fields as well as in various sports and recreational activities. Always ensure you use carabiners that are appropriate for their intended use and that they are in good working condition.
