Record the buckle–webbing interface before comparing samples

Use one worksheet for the exact parts and the motion that causes creep. Nominal width alone cannot describe locking contact.

Buckle model and revision
What to record: Model or revision, material and moulded face
Project detail: ____________________
How to confirm: Match the part to a drawing or master

Threading path
What to record: Bars, entry and exit sides, and tail direction
Project detail: ____________________
How to confirm: Photograph both faces, fully threaded

Tape fit
What to record: Actual width, edge curl and compressed layer stack
Project detail: ____________________
How to confirm: Measure the slot and fit all layers

Contact
What to record: Tape face, finish, bar radius, teeth and wear
Project detail: ____________________
How to confirm: Mark the face and retain paired samples

Movement
What to record: Load direction, set length, motion, pauses and relevant moisture
Project detail: ____________________
How to confirm: Mark a datum; report movement after defined cycles

Loads, cycle counts and acceptance limits are project-defined. A diagnostic comparison does not create a safe working-load rating.
