ZINC-POURED SPELTER SOCKETING1. Measure the Rope Ends to be Socketed
The rope end should be of sufficient length so that theends of the unlaid wires (from the strands) will be at thetop of the socket basket. (Fig. 8)
2. Apply Serving at Base of Socket
Apply a tight wire serving band, at the point where thesocket base will be, for a length of two rope diameters.(Figs. 9 & 10)
3. Broom Out StrandWires
Unlay and Straighten the individual rope strands andspread them evenly so that they form an included angleof approximately 60 degrees. Unlay the wires of eachindividual strand for the full length of the rope end—being careful not to disturb or change the lay of thewires and strands under the serving band. Unlay thewires of the independent wire rope core (IWRC) inthe same manner. A fiber core should be cut out andremoved as close to the serving band as possible. (Fig. 9)
4. Clean the Broomed-Out EndsA suggested cleaning solvent for this step is SC-5 MethylChloroform or equivalent solvent. These are knownunder the names Chlorothane VG, 1-1-1 Trichlorethane,Perchloroethane, and Perchloroethylene.
CAUTION: Breathing the vapor of this solvent is harmful;it should only be used in a well-ventilated area. Be sure tofollow the solvent manufacturer’s instructions, and care-fully observe all instructions printed on the label.Swish the broomed-out rope end in the solvent, thenbrush vigorously to remove all grease and dirt—makingcertain that the wires are clean to the very bottom of thebroom up the serving band (Fig. 11). Additionally, a solu-tion of muriatic acid may also be used. If acid is used, thebroomed-out ends should be rinsed in a solution of bicar-bonate of soda so as to neutralize any acid that may re-main on the rope. Care should be exercised to preventacid from entering the core; this is particularly importantif the rope has a fiber core. Where it is feasible, the bestand preferred cleaning method for rope ends prior tosocketing is ultrasonic cleaning. After this cleaning step,place the broomed-out end pointing downward, allowingit to remain until all solvent has evaporated and the wiresare dry.Solvent should never be permitted to remain on the ropeor on the serving band since it will run down the wireswhen the rope is turned upright.

5. Dip the Broomed-Out Rope Ends in Flux
Prepare a hot solution of zinc-ammonium chloride fluxcomparable to Zaclon K. Use a concentration of 1 lb. ofzinc-ammonium chloride to 1 gallon of water;maintainthe solution at a temperature of 180 degrees to 200degrees F. Swish the broomed-out end in the flux solu-tion, then point the rope end downward until such timeas the wires have dried thoroughly (Fig. 12).
6. Close Rope Ends and Place Socket
Use clean seizing wire to compress the broomed-end intoa tight bundle which will permit the socket to be slippedeasily over the wires (Fig. 13). Before placing the socketon the rope,make certain the socket is clean and nomoisture is present inside the bowl of the socket. Heatingthe socket will dispel any residual moisture and will alsoprevent the zinc from freezing or cooling prematurely.A word of caution: Never heat a socket after it is placedon the rope. To do so may cause damage to the rope.After the socket is on the rope, the wires should be dis-tributed evenly in the socket basket so the zinc can sur-round each wire. Use extreme care in aligning the socketwith the rope’s centerline, and in making certain thereis a minimum vertical length of rope extending from thesocket equal to about 30 rope diameters. This verticallength is necessary for rope balance. Premature wirebreaks at the socket can occur if the rope is not balancedat pouring.
Seal the socket base with fire clay or putty but make cer-tain the material does not penetrate into the socket base.Should this occur, it could prevent the zinc from pene-trating the full length of the socket basket thereby creat-ing a void that would collect moisture after the socket isplaced in service (Fig. 14).7. Pour the Zinc
The zinc used should meet ASTM Specification designa-tion B6-49 Grade (1) PrimeWestern or better, andFederal Specification QQ-Z-351-a Amendment 1, interimAmendment 2. Pour the zinc at a temperature of 950degrees to 1000 degrees F (Fig. 15). A word of caution:Overheating of the zinc may affect its bonding proper-ties. The zinc temperature may be measured with aportable pyrometer or a Tempilstik. Remove all drossfrom the top of the zinc pool before pouring. Pour thezinc in one continuous stream until it reaches the topof the basket and all wire ends are covered; there shouldbe no “capping” of the socket.
8. Remove ServingAfter the zinc and socket have cooled remove the servingband from the socket base and check to make certainthat the zinc has penetrated to the socket base (Fig. 16).9. Lubricate the Rope
Apply wire rope lubricant to the rope at the base of thesocket and on any rope section where the original lubri-cant may have been removed.
Figure 15. Figure 16.
Thermo-Set Resin SocketingBefore proceeding with a thermo-set resin socketing pro-cedure, check the resin manufacturer’s instructions care-fully. Each resin system has specific procedures and stepswhich must be followed in the order specified for the sys-tem to give the desired results. Since any thermo-set resinsystem depends upon chemical reaction, the procedurebecomes critically important. Give particular attention toselecting sockets designed for resin socketing. The fol-lowing steps give a general outline to follow for resinsocketing, they should not be used as a substitute fordetailed instructions supplied by the resin manufacturer.1. Measure the Rope Ends to be Socketed
The rope end should be of sufficient length so the endsof the unlaid wires (from the strands) will be at the topof the socket basket. (Fig. 8)2. Apply Serving at Base of SocketApply a tight wire serving band, at the point where thesocket base will be, for a length of two rope diameters.(Figs. 9 & 10)
3. Broom Out StrandWires
Unlay and straighten the individual rope strands andspread them evenly so that they form an included angleof approximately 60 degrees. Unlay the wires of eachindividual strand for the full length of the rope end—being careful not to disturb or change the lay of thewires and strands under the serving band. Unlay thewires of the independent wire rope core (IWRC) inthe same manner. A fiber core should be cut out andremoved as close to the serving band as possible. (Fig. 9)
4. Clean the Broomed-Out EndsA suggested cleaning solvent for this step is SC-5 MethylChloroform or equivalent solvent. It is also known underthe names Chlorothane VG, 1-1-1 Trichlorethane,Perchlorothane, and Perchloroethylene.
CAUTION: Breathing the vapor of this solvent is harmful;it should only be used in a well-ventilated area. Be sure tofollow the solvent manufacturer’s instructions, and care-fully observe all instructions printed on the label.
Swish the broomed-out rope end in the solvent, thenbrush vigorously to remove all grease and dirt—makingcertain that the wires are clean to the very bottom of thebroom up to the serving band (Fig. 11). The use of acidto etch the wires before resin socketing is unnecessaryand not recommended. Also, the use of flux on thewires before pouring resin should be avoided since thisadversely affects resin bonding to the steel wires. Whereit is feasible, the best and preferred cleaning method forrope ends prior to socketing is ultrasonic cleaning. Afterthis cleaning step, place the broomed-out end pointingdownward allowing it to remain until all solvent hasevaporated and the wires are dry.
Solvent should never be permitted to remain on the ropeor on the serving band since it will run down the wireswhen the rope is turned upright.
5. Close Rope Ends and Place Socket
Place rope in a vertical position with the broom end up.Close and compact the broom to permit insertion of thebroomed end into the base of the socketing. Slip thesocket on, removing any temporary banding or seizingas required. Make certain the broomed wires are uni-formly spaced in the basket, with the wire ends slightlybelow the top edge of the basket, and the axis of therope and the fitting are aligned. Seal the annular spacebetween the base of the socket and the rope to preventleakage of the resin from the basket. In addition to nor-mal sealing materials, non-hardening butyl rubber-basesealant or latex glazing compounds are satisfactory forthis purpose. Make sure the sealant does not enter thebase of the socket so the resin will be able to fill thecomplete depth of the socket basket.
6. Pouring the Resin
Mix and pour the resin in strict accordance with theresin manufacturer’s instructions.
7. Lubrication After Socket Attachment
After the resin has cured, re-lubricate the wire rope at thebase of the socket to replace any lubricant that may havebeen removed during the cleaning operation.

8.Acceptable Resin Types
Properties of commerically available resins vary consider-ably. It is next to impossible to establish general rules tocover all available resins. It is extremely important torefer to the individual resin manufacturer’s instructionsbefore using any one type. If the resin manufacturer hasno data as to how his resin system preforms with wirerope socketing, tests should be conducted before thesystem is used for field applications.
When properly formulated,most thermoset resins areacceptable for socketing. These formulations,whenmixed, form a pourable material which will harden atambient temperature, or upon the application of moder-ate heat. No open flame or molten metal hazards existwith resin socketing since heat-curing when necessary,requires a relatively low temperature (250-300 degrees F)obtainable by electric resistance heating. Since resin sock-eting is so much simpler than zinc socketing, care mustbe taken not to become lax in following the recommend-ed procedures.Tests have demonstrated that satisfactory wire rope sock-eting performance can be obtained with resins havingcharacteristics and properties as follows:The resin shall be a liquid thermoset material that willharden after being mixed with the correct proportion ofcatalyst or curing agent. (Hardener)
A. Properties of Liquid (Uncured) Material
Resin and catalyst are normally supplied in two separatecontainers. After thoroughly mixing the two componentstogether, the liquid can be poured into the socket basket.For ease of handling, liquid resins and catalysts shouldhave the following properties:
1) Viscosity of the resin-catalyst mixture should be 30-40,000 CPS at 75 degrees F immediately after mixing.The viscosity will increase at lower ambient tempera-ture and the resin may require warming prior to mixingwith the catalyst if ambient temperatures are too low.
2) Flash PointBoth resin and catalyst should have a minimum flashpoint of 100 degrees F.
3) Shelf LifeUnmixed resin and catalyst should have a maximumshelf life specified by the resin manufacturer.
4) Pot Life and Cure TimeAfter mixing, the resin-catalyst blend should bepourable for approximately eight minutes and shouldharden within 30 minutes. Heating the blend in thesocket should be permissible to obtain the cure.
B. Properties of the Cured Resin
1) Socket PerformanceThe resin shall exhibit sufficient bonding to the sol-vent-washed wires in a wire rope end socket to devel-op the breaking strength of all types, constructions andgrades of wire rope.No slippage of individual wires ispermissible when testing resin socketed rope assem-blies in tension. After testing, however, some“seating”of the resin cone may be apparent and is acceptable.
The resin/wire bond within the cone or basket must becapable of withstanding tensile-shock loading encoun-tered in normal field usage.
2) Compressive StrengthThe minimum allowable compressive strength for fullycured resin is 12000 psi.
3) ShrinkageMaximum allowable shrinkage is 2%. To controlshrinkage, an inert filler may be used in the resin pro-vided that the viscosity requirements are met. Thisfiller material should always be formulated into theresin system by the resin manufacturer, not fieldmixed by the user.
4) HardnessThe desired hardness of the cured resin system is inthe range of Barcol 40-55.
C. Performance of Resin Socketed Assemblies
Resin socketed assemblies may be moved after the resinhas hardened. If the resin manufacturer’s directions arefollowed, resin sockets should develop the breakingstrength of the rope, and have the capability to with-stand shock loading to a degree sufficient to breakthe rope, without the resin cone cracking or breaking.
One final note: resin technology is changing almost daily.Characteristics of these products vary significantly andeach must be handled differently. The resin manufacturershould supply specific data as to fitness of their systemfor wire rope socketing.

The following simplified, step-by-step instructions shouldbe used only as a guide for experienced users. For fullinformation, consult our document WIRELOCK® TECH-NICAL DATA MANUAL, WIRE ROPE USER MANUALby AISI and WIRE ROPE MANUFACTURERS CATA-LOGS.
STEP 1 – SOCKET SELECTION1. WIRELOCK® is recommended for use with Crosby
416 - 417 Spelter Sockets.2. For use with sockets other than Crosby 416 - 417 con-
sult the socket manufacturer or Crosby Engineering.3. Sockets used withWIRELOCK® shall comply with
Federal or International (CEN, ISO) Standards.4. WIRELOCK®, as with all socketing media, depends
upon the wedging action of the cone within the sock-et basket to develop full efficiency. A rough finishinside the socket may increase the load at which seat-ing will occur. Seating is required to develop thewedging action.
STEP 2 – SEIZINGSeize the wire rope or strand as shown using softannealed iron wire.
STEP 3 – BROOMING1. Unlay the strands of the wire rope and IWRC as far as
the seizing.
2. Cut out any fiber core.3. Unlay the individual wires from each strand, including
the IWRC, completely, down to the seizing.4. Remove any plastic material from broomed area.
Strand Wire Rope
STEP 4 – CLEANING1. The method of cleaning will depend on the lubricant
and/ or coating on the wire.2. The methods and materials used for cleaning should
comply with the current EPA regulations.3. Consult theWire Rope Technical Board, yourWire
Rope supplier or theWire Rope Manufacturer for rec-ommended materials and methods.
4 The currently recommended Trichlorethane does notcomply with the “Clean Air Act of 1990, Section 611,Ozone Depletion Substances.”
WARNING• Incorrect use of WIRELOCK® can result in an unsafe terminationwhich may lead to serious injury, death, or property damage.
• Do not useWIRELOCK® with stainless steel rope in salt water envi-ronment applications.
• Use only soft annealed iron wire for seizing.• Do not use any other wire (copper, brass, stainless, etc.) for seizing.• Never use an assembly until theWIRELOCK® has gelled and cured.• Remove any non-metallic coating from the broomed area.e
• Sockets with large grooves need to have those grooves filled beforeuse withWIRELOCK®.
• Read, understand, and follow these instructions and those on prod-uct containers before usingWIRELOCK®.

TYPICAL ASSEMBLY Electroline fittings are the first real advance in connect-ing practices since the development of wire rope.Thesefittings are remarkably compact assemblies of threebasic units:
1. The sleeve,which slips over the end of the rope.
2. The plug, (see inset photo) which is inserted toseparate and hold the rope strands in the sleeve.
3. The covering socket.
The combination of these three units literally locksthe rope into a strong, solid assembly.
Strand passed through sleeve.
SLEEVE
Wire rope passed through sleeve and strands fanned outfor inspection of fluted plug.
SLEEVE PLUG
Plug driven in and strands closed to apply socket.
Working loadsElectroline terminations,when properly assembled,willhold the “normal” or “rated”breaking strength of the IPSwire rope. They are certified by the “UnderwritersLaboratory, Inc.” (Safety Appliance No. 799) to hold noless than 85% of the rated breaking strength of the rope.Fittings are designed for linear loads only.
Electroline terminations are NOT marked with a safeworking load (SWL) as the termination is a componentof an assembly which includes the wire rope. Due to the
many different types of ropes with which our termina-tion may be used, the safe working load is dependentupon the type of rope and the usage.
Electroline terminations are designed to have a break-ing strength greater than 6x19 IPS IWRC wire rope ofthe corresponding size. Our safety factor is 1.3 for themachined fittings and 2.0 for the forged types. How-ever, the rope is the weakest component of the assem-bly, and these safety factors cannot be used to deter-mine the SWL of the assembly.
