The Safe Working Load (SWL) for mooring wires is calculated by considering the wire's diameter, material strength, and safety factors. Typically, the SWL is determined by multiplying the wire's breaking strength by a safety factor, which often ranges from 5 to 10, depending on the application and environmental conditions. It's essential to consult manufacturer specifications and industry standards to ensure accuracy in the calculations. Additionally, factors such as wear, corrosion, and dynamic loads should be taken into account.
Yeah! (D X 8), where, D= Diameter!
To calculate the Safe Working Load (SWL) for spreader support wires, first determine the breaking strength of the wire or cable being used. Then, apply a safety factor, typically ranging from 5 to 10, depending on the application and regulations. The SWL is calculated by dividing the breaking strength by the safety factor. For example, if the breaking strength is 1000 kg and the safety factor is 5, the SWL would be 200 kg.
TO CALCULATE THE SWL OF LIFTING WIRE ROPE THE FORMULAE CAN BE USED- 8*D2 WHERE 'D' IS THE DIAMETER OF WIRE ROPE IN 'mm' THIS WILL GIVE THE APPROX SWL (SAFE WORKING LOAD CAPACITY)
Mooring ropes or mooring wires
The SWL stands for - Safe Working Load
SWL means Safe Working Load
The initials SWL mean Safe Working Load
Cranes typically are designed with a FoS (Factor of Safety) of 5x the MBL (Minimum Breaking Load). So if the weakest part of the structure failed (e.g. in tension, compression or shear) at e.g. 100kN (10 metric tons), then the swl would be 10t / 5 = 2 tons

I am very excited to see the mooring of a ship. I have never saw one.
Yes. Mooring is a noun.
