In case of a dynamic rope around a carabiner, the clove hitch generally does not slip till ~6 kN. Chance of slipping is higher if the clove hitch is tied around a big-diameter object (tree, smooth stone), and with static ropes. With 8mm dyneema sling around a carabiner there is a report of slow slippage roughly ~3 kN of force. For list of values, see the table on right (''source, specifications - https://edelrid.com/eu-en/knowledge/knowledge-base/strength-reduction-of-textile-materials-by-knots''). Therefore it should be backed-up by another knot in critical applications. | In case of a dynamic rope around a carabiner, the clove hitch generally does not slip till ~6 kN.
