Is nylon thread stronger than a steel wire of the same thickness?
More information is needed really as the answer depends hugely on the application. For example, yes you could tow a friends broken down car with a steel cable of equal strength to the nylon tow rope. ....but not, you could not replace a nylon rope used to moor a boat with (untreated) steel cable as it wuold rust. Nylon rope also has some "give" in it, allowing it to absorb some shock as tension is taken, it is also an excellent insulator. Steel has almost no give at all and is a fairly good conductor (though not brilliant when efficient conduction is required). So it depends massively on your application - all answers from "absolutely not" to "it would be even better" can appy. Mark
What size cable do you need to support 4000 pounds with four points of contact?
Using 6x19 fiber core steel rope, you need only 1/4" which has a breaking strength of 6,020 pounds. Each cable must be able to support the full weight of the load; however, shock loading also needs to be considered. With this in mind you should use 1/2" steel rope (23,600 pound) to lift/suspend this load.
