Remark:
1. SWL to be marked on or near the fittings in units of metric tons (Letter t).
2. The SWL of Foundations and Supporting Deck Structure must be specially considered when siting and rating the
capabilities of the fitting. In principle the strength of the supporting structure and connection of the fitting to it should
be greater than the fitting itself so that any failure does not result in damage to the ships structure. Since foundations
and connections to the deck are often made in non-ideal conditions onboard the ship rather than factory condition,
and to allow for possible resulting weld imperfections, it is recommended that they be at least 10% stronger than the
fitting.
