Which term describes a length of webbing folded back and spliced to form a closed loop?

• A. Sling Angle
• B. Selvedge
• C. Loop Eye
• D. Type III Web Sling

Answer: (C)

This item tests terminology for webbing constructions used in rigging. A length of webbing folded back onto itself and stitched to form a closed loop is called a loop eye. This configuration provides a built-in lifting point without extra hardware, created by looping the webbing and securing the fold with stitching so the loop remains intact under load.

Sling angle refers to the angle between the legs of a sling under load and affects how the load is shared; it isn’t a closed loop. Selvedge is simply the finished edge of the fabric, not a loop-shaped piece. Type III Web Sling describes the material and its rated strength class, not a specific loop or eye feature.
