Actually, both of my posts were my subtle, tongue in cheek way of saying that if USAV is challenging the accuracy of some net chains, lets see the supporting data. Clearly there's no physical property of any common metal that would result in lengthening over time under normal use, so it must be something else. Is it a design issue...i.e.; light gauge open links that can deform under tensile load? Or perhaps (here comes my cynical side) it's related to who ponies up the bucks to get "USAV approved".

My point is, all we have so far is "a conclusion derived, from information inferred" -" it must be true because USAV says so". In engineering circles we call that a WAG (wild-assed guess).
