Hi,
What is #24 cave line??? Here's what I DO know:
24 is a specification of size in an AMERICAN rope sizing system
Cave line is #24 white braided-nylon (here in the US.)
Here's where I'm frustrated: No one I have asked has been able to tell me what #24 really means. The people at West Marine, Boater's World, and Lowe's Hardware all had never heard of such a sizing system, which surprised me. All of the commercial packaging I have seen locally has had inches or mm as measurments.
Also, the resources I have found online specifying a diameter in inches for #24 have been conflicting. I have found NO resources about the sizing system.
Can someone please clear up the following for me:
a) what is the imperial/metric diameter equivalent of #24?
b) what are the details of the numbering system and what is the system called?
