How is the rated capacity of 2" tape measured?

The rated capacity of 2" tape is measured per wrap because this method accounts for the effectiveness of the tape when it is wrapped around an object. Measuring per wrap provides insight into how many times the tape can go around an item to achieve optimal adhesion and securement. This is particularly important for applications where tight wraps are essential for stability and safety. When considering the nature and usage of the tape, understanding the capacity per wrap ensures proper techniques are applied for securing loads or items.

Other measurement methods, such as per foot or per roll, do not directly relate to the functional use of the tape when it comes to securing items since they would not indicate how well the tape adheres when multiple layers are applied.
