Checking Twine Knot Strength
1.
Remove twine from five or more bales with knot intact or hand tie knots in new twine.
2.
Using a spring scale, pull twine with knot (A) to failure at base of knot.
NOTE:
Good quality twine will have tensile strength and knot strength printed on the wrapper. Knot strength is usually one half the twine tensile strength.
