Parachute cord or cord (English Paracord, cord, parachute cord.) - Parachute cord, comes from parachute straps, which are actively used parachutists after landing during the Second World War. Through its universal characteristics (lightweight, flexible, durable, multi-purpose) parachute cord became widespread among both military and civilian. Parachute cord used even by astronauts as a multipurpose cord during mission STS-82 to repair the Hubble Space Telescope.
Parachute cord - Nylon Cord consisting of an outer sheath (a large number of woven fibers) and core (a few nylon yarns interwoven), which provides its strength and light weight.
Parachute cord has several types (I, II, III, IV), which differ by the number of filaments in the core, and consequently also in its strength. Certified US military parachute cord called Mil-Spec Paracord or MIL-C-5040 Type III (Military Specification), belongs to the type III and withstands tensile strength of 550 pounds or 250 kg and has 7 strands in the core. His commercial or civil version - 550 Type III Sommercial - has the same characteristics of strength. Weight: '30 parachute cord weighs approximately 200 grams.
It must be remembered that the parachute cord - it's not a climbing rope and can withstand a static load, rather than dynamic, that is slightly stretched while jerking or sudden load.
Usage: parachute cord - a very good alternative to the usual rope. Through its universal characteristics (lightweight, flexible, durable, multi-purpose, quick-drying, does not rot but not moldy) use of parachute cord is limited only by the physical properties of parachute cord, the cord length and imagination bracelet holder with parachute cord, which is also called "survival bracelet."
