Standard lengths of 10, 50, 100, 200, and 300 ft., as well as any continuous length up to 5,000 ft.All are preformed and lubricated.

6 x 19 Class and 6 x 37 Class Fiber Core, Regular — These ropes hae a fiber core whichma!es them more fle"ible than #$%& constructions, but also wea!er and less crush resistant.

$e%initions

Constru&tion— efines the design of the wire rope which includes the following/ number of strands, numberof wires per strand, and the core composition. A ) " 3 hollow core, for e"ample, has ) strands, each containing

3 wires, closed around a hollow core.The following four common constructions are !nown as class constructions/ ' " 1(, ' " 3), ) " 1(, and

" 1(. $ithin a gien class construction, the number of wires is allowed to ary within established industryguidelines. +or e"ample, a ' " 3) class fiber core rope may hae 2) to -( wires in the strand, with no morethan 1 wires e"posed.

!ollo' or Coreless— $ire rope without a center core.Fiber Core— $ire rope or cord with egetable or synthetic fiber as the core a"ial member of the rope.IWRC— nown as the #ndependent $ire %ope &enter. A wire rope is used as the core a"ial member

within a larger wire rope. Strand— Seeral wires laid helically about an a"is. Single strands are used alone or as the core of a rope.4ultiple strands are closed together to form a rope.

Pre%ored Wire Rope— A process by which strands are permanently formed into the spiral shape theywill assume as part of the rope. onpreformed wire rope tends to straighten out fray.

(ubri&ation— 6roided on most rope to increase serice life. )brasion— The surface wear on the wires of a rope. As the diameter of the outside wires increases, theabrasion resistance increases.

Fatigue— The progressie fracturing of a rope when sub7ect to bending. +atigue resistance increases as thenumber of wires increases. Flexibilit#— A measure of the rope8s ability to bend in an arc. Typically, small diameter and fiber core ropeare more fle"ible than large diameter or #$%& rope. +or rope of the same diameter, fle"ibility increases as thenumber of wires in the construction increases.

Crus*ing— The distortion of the shape of a rope or its indiidual strands when sub7ected to e"ternalforces. This is especially true when a rope is used on drums or sheaes. #n general, #$%& and strand coreropes are more crush resistant than fiber and hollow core ropes.

+reaing Strengt*— The strength at which new, unused rope will brea! under a static tensile load. As arope wears oer time, the brea!ing strength is naturally reduced. +reaing strengt* s*ould ne"er be&onsidered t*e rope-s 'oring load. To determine wor!ing load, the brea!ing strength must be reduced bya design factor or safety factor which aries depending on the type of machine and installation used.

WIRE ROPE



6 × 19 classification of wire rope







Safe use of wire rope/sling

Majority of slings used should be fitted with

thimbles to utilise the strength of the rope.

With soft eye slings , strength is reduced if

eye is supporting load via a small diameter,

e.g. shackle pin.





Safe Working Loads

In accordance to BS 1290

i) Single Leg Sling = SWL of one leg

ii) Double Leg Sling = SWL of one leg x 1.4

iii) Tree and four leg !ling! =

SWL of one leg x 2.1

should be made :

current and the sling has an %& mark.

Slings hae a red warning core that shows when the 7ac!et is worn and the sling should beremoed from serice. A sewnon tag on each sling shows the material, length, and wor! loadlimits. 4a"imum temperature is 10= +. 4eet :S<A standard 1(10.1- and AS# specification*30.(.

Flat e#eande#e slings also !nown as Type -- or Type 3 collapse into a flat position,ma!ing sling remoal easier in tight spaces.

'isted e#eande#e slings also !nown as Type 55 or Type - hae eyes that are turned (0=to form a better cho!er hitch. This allows the ends to nest together when used in a singlehoo!bas!et configuration.

8ndless slings also !nown as Type '' or Type 5 are the most uniersal general duty slings.The wear>load bearing point changes position eery time the sling is used, which increases thesling8s life.
