Summary
Spider dragline silk has a tensile strength of roughly 1.3 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_(unit)" class="extiw" title="en:Pascal (unit)">GPa</a>. The tensile strength listed for steel might be slightly higher – e.g. 1.65 GPa. <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.webcitation.org/query?url=http://www.geocities.com/pganio/materials.html&date=2009-10-26+00:31:25">[1]</a>, but spider silk is a much less dense material, so that a given weight of spider silk is five times as strong as the same weight of steel.
