4.4.2 Tests.
4.4.2.1 Method of testing. Testing shall be done prior to any seizing when this is
specified. The proof and destructive tests shall be a single-leg straight pull method. The slings
shall be placed on a tensile testing machine using mandrels having a minimum diameter of four
times the diameter of the wire rope used in a uniform rate. Load shall be applied through the
movable mandrel at a uniform rate. An alternate test method may be used for heavy duty slings,
using a hoist or crane. One terminal of the sling shall be attached to the hook and the other to the
test load.
4.4.2.2 Proof load. Slings shall be tested for proof as specified in 4.4.2.1. Slippage of
the swage sittings or nonconformance to the applicable minimum proof load specified in tables II
or IV shall constitute failure of this test.
4.4.2.3 Ultimate tensile strength. Slings shall be tested as specified in 4.4.2.1 for
ultimate tensile strength. Nonconformance to the applicable minimum breaking strength
