I have often wondered about the sort of stresses applied to biners when used with bolt plates. The contact area is very small and therefore the force per unit area very high. Biners are tested in a rig consisting of 10mm pins placed in the optimum points in the biner and then the force cranked up until destruction. I wonder what sort of numbers would be obtained from sharp edges?
