S.W.L. of shackle = C / 8W . W = Width of gap in inches.

S.W.L. of ring = C / 8D₁ . D₁ = Mean diameter of ring in inches.

Note.—S.W.L. of shackle is obtained from iron or pin constant, whichever is least.
Example.—Shackle: Iron, 1¼ in.; pin, 1⁵/₁₆ in.; gap, 2½ in.

C for iron = 65·52; C for pin = 60·21 ∴ S.W.L. = 60·21 / 20 = 3·01 tons.

Example.—Ring: Iron, 1 in.; inside diameter = 4 in. ∴ Mean diameter = 5 in

S.W.L. = 67·32 / 40 = 1·683 tons.

For S.W.L. of bow shackles, see Table 17.
