In web slings, an overlap of webbing material that is sewn together is called a splice.

• A. Loop eye
• B. Turn
• C. Weave
• D. Splice

Answer: (D)

In web slings, a splice refers to the overlap of the webbing ends that is sewn together to form a continuous length or a fixed loop. This method secures the two ends by stitching through all layers, providing a strong, reliable join used in lifting gear. A loop eye is simply a loop at the end, not the joint itself; a turn isn’t a standard term for joining webbing; weave describes interlacing fibers to make fabric, not the specific sewn-overlap join. So the sewn overlap joint is called a splice.
