| 3. Webbing for rigging purposes is made of woven ___ or ___ fibers. | nylon, polyester |
| 4. In general, how is the material that the webbing is made from identified | by colored marker yarns woven in |
| 5. Which type of webbing materials can be used around bleaching agents | polyester |
| 6. Which type of webbing materials can be used in oily environments | both polyester and nylon |
| 7. Exposure to ultraviolet light, such as sunlight or arc welding, may affect the webbing material strength without any visible indication True or False | True |
| 8. Web-slings consist of what four parts | length, body, splice, and loop eye |
| 9. A ___ is a leather or webbed pad used to protect the web sling from damage | wear pad |

| 11. Web sling load capacity tables generally list what four characteristics | webbing class, number of plies, webbing width, sling construction type |
| 12. What is meant by "fabrication efficiency" | ratio of tensile strength of webbing material to tensile strength of web sling it is made into |
| 13. List at least four factors that decrease web-slings strength | age, mishandling, tying into knots, pulling it out from under a load |
| 14. What is a round sling | bundle of unwoven yarns of load-bearing synthetic fibers, surrounded by non-load-bearing woven cover |
