Wow, thanks Lok. That's a great answer. Would you mind explaining the (25*(9+9)=450mm^2). I find this really interesting, I'll have to read more on the subject. I assume the size of the pin that passes through the hole makes a difference too?

Is it possible to calculate now you have dimensions?

Sorry, forgot to add those in. Here is an amended pic.

I thought there might be some materials software for working out things like this. I know this would take plenty of tension, I just wondered if I could work out how much. If I compare the dimensions to avaliable items, this is overkill (comparison with a quick link for example).

Erm..not quite lol. I hope it wouldn't combust.

Sorry I meant horizontally, I'm really tired tonight lol. It's part of a slackline setup.

Sorry I should of added more detail. Imagine it's a chain link vertically, and it's under tension.

Hello everyone, this is my first time here and I was wondering if you could help. I would like to know if there is a way of calculating how much weight this simple component could hold. It will be made from mild steel. TIA Scott
