GENERAL INFORMATION
Rotation Resistant: The conventional rotation resistant wire rope is composed of a number of strands that are laid up in opposite directions to produce a non-rotating effect. The 4 strand Mono Track is a complete departure from this convention and is created through theoretical analyses of the working torques. Multiple Operation Triangular Strand: The wires are specially formed to produce a strand with a triangular section this type of rope is only produced in Langs lay. This construction has improved wear and crush resistance and has wide application in winding and haulage systems. Galvanised Strand: These are single strands of concentric layers of wires, some of which are cross laid to produce a non-rotating result. Half Locked Coil: A strand with the outer layer composed of alternate shaped and round wires covering one or two layers of round wires laid in the opposite direction. Full Locked Coil: A strand used as a rope and composed of one or two layers of Z-shaped wires laid over layers of half lock coil and/or layers of round wires. Rotation Resistant Mining Ropes: A rope composed of flattened strands of six or eight wires contra laid over a triangular strand rope to produce a rotation resistant result.
Single Operation
Rotation Resistant
Galvanised Strand
Multiple Operation: Individual strands are composed of successive layers of wire laid up at different lay lengths. This results in a cross laid rope. This type of construction is now confined to a limited range of products such as ropes below 8mm diameter, and large sling and static ropes. Single Operation: All wires in the strand are laid up in the one manufacturing operation. This type of rope is standard production, providing an equal laid rope that eliminates internal cross-mating and forms a compact strand of high metallic content. There are three main types: 6x9/9/1, 6x25 FW and 6x36 SW.

Postforming
Postforming is a manufacturing process applied to ropes to minimise stretch in service. It reduces the stretch caused by "bedding-in" the wires and strands onto their respective cores. In addition to controlling stretch, postforming produces results closely related to those achieved by preforming. Postforming is particularly useful in overcoming stretch in long lengths of rope and where take-up adjustment is restricted. It is commonly applied to ropes used in aerial ropeways, guying, chairlifts and control cables.
Lay
This refers to the way the wires in the strands, and the strands in the rope are formed into the completed rope. The wire strands are essentially laid up in a planetary motion with controlled twist being imparted to produce a tightly formed rope. The term "lay" is used in three ways: 1. To describe the direction in which the strands are laid in the rope, right or left. In a Right Hand lay strands are laid around the rope core in a clockwise direction see illustration. In a Left Hand lay, the strands are laid anti-clockwise see illustration. Steel Wire Ropes are conventionally produced Right Hand lay unless special circumstances require Left Hand lay. 2. To describe the direction in which the wires are stranded in relation to the direction of the strands in the completed rope, e.g. Ordinary lay or Langs lay. Ordinary lay means the wires in a strand are laid in a direction opposite to the direction in which the strands are laid in the final rope. Langs lay is the reverse of Ordinary lay. That is, the wires are laid in the same direction as the strands in the rope. Langs lay ropes have superior properties in resistance to wear, abrasion, fatigue and scuffing. This is illustrated on the following page, where it can be seen that wear on an outer wire is distributed over a far greater area than in Ordinary lay. 3. "Lay" is also a measure of the pitch of a strand in a rope.
With the increasing use of heavy-duty and more compact equipment (e.g. power winches on mobile cranes and mine winding) there is a gradual upward trend in the required rope wire tensile range. However, as factors other than strength influence the life of wire rope, the specific application must be kept in mind when tensile strength of wire is selected.

The most common are: Galvanised wire rope - Zinc coated Class B is denoted with B (formerly G). Galvanised wire rope - Zinc coated Class A is denoted with A (formerly G Class A). Uncoated or Bright wire rope (Black) - is denoted with U (formerly B).

GENERAL INFORMATION
Lay Directions & Types
Lay direction of strands for stranded ropes are right (z) or left (s) and correspond to the direction of lay of the outer wires in relation to the longitudinal axis of the strand. Lay direction of ropes are right (Z) or left (S) and correspond to the direction of lay of the outer wires in a spiral rope, the outer strands in a stranded rope or the unit ropes in a cable-laid rope in relation to the longitudinal axis of the rope. Characteristics of Lay: The direction of rope lay does not affect the Breaking Force of a rope. However, the combination of strand lay and rope lay will greatly affect the rope characteristics and this factor must be taken into consideration when choosing a rope. Although the lay length can slightly affect rope behaviour the dominant aspect that influences performance is the direction of lay and whether it is Langs lay or Ordinary lay. For example, the importance of rope lay is evident in a four-part highlift grab where rotation of the grab is prevented by the use of alternate right-hand and left-hand ropes.

Rope Core
The type of rope core must be specified because of the significant differences in properties of a wire rope core and fibre core.
Rope Length
Wire rope is manufactured to length tolerances as follows; Up to 400m = +5% - 0% 400 to 1000m = +20m Over 1000m = +2% - 0% When a closer length is required, this should be specified in the order. In calculating rope length requirements, it is advisable to consider the following practical points for economy in operation: 1. In most cases, mining regulations require a test length be cut at specified periods. Sufficient extra length to cater for such tests over the expected service life of the rope should be added to the necessary operating rope length, plus a minimum of 2 1/2 drum turns for anchorage. 2. It is also advisable to make allowance for "cropping" in service as a consequence of wear or accidental damage at the capel end. 3. In many rope applications, wear and other deterioration are concentrated in spots along the length of the rope. It is often possible to gain economies in the overall life of the rope by providing additional length to enable feeding through of the new rope from the drum to spread the area of wear. This practice is regularly used to advantage on cable-operated earthmoving equipment and oil-well drilling rigs. 4. Short lengths of special rope constructions, if ordered in single units, can be costly to produce. Consideration of the number of such ropes in use and their probable service life can often make it more economical to order several such ropes at one time. As a rule, this helps to expedite production and lessens the possibility of delays in supply. On existing equipment the rope size is generally fixed by the grooving of the sheaves and drums. Larger ropes should never be used without modification of drum and sheave grooving to suit the new rope. It should be remembered that ropes 8mm and above are made to a diameter tolerance of minus 0% to plus 5% with the exception of 6x24 construction, which has a tolerance of plus 7%. 6 x 25 FW Fibre Core
Construction
The construction of a rope for any given application should be suited to the equipment and to the conditions under which it will operate. It is important to nominate the construction when ordering. For example, the rope illustrated is ordered as 6x25 Filler Wire.
EXAMPLE
A typical order for wire rope would read: "500m 16mm 6x9/9/1 A, B or U 1770 Grade RHLL (zZ) IWRC."
Rope Grade
The minimum tensile strength of the wire is expressed in megapascals.
Lay of Rope
Lay affects behaviour and operating life of a wire rope. It is important therefore to quote (a) the direction of lay, and (b) the type of lay and details of the rope application and operating conditions. The illustration shows a right hand langs lay (zZ) or RHLL rope. Ropes are normally supplied right-hand lay.

Wrap the seizing wire around the rope eight or ten turns. 2. Twist the two ends of the seizing wire together approximately at the centre position of the seizing. Alternate tightening and twisting of the ends will draw the seizing up tight. 3. Cut the end of the twisted wires and knock down into a valley between strands.
Short Seizing
Prestretching
Is the loading of a rope or strand from 33.3% to 50% of its breaking load to remove constructional stretch, and this allows for the more accurate setting of lengths for guying and suspension cables. The initial stretch cannot be accurately determined by theoretical means and will continue to take place until it has been completely removed. After this initial stretch (or constructional stretch) has been removed the strand will have a truly elastic measure where elongation is proportional to applied load.
The number of seizings required depends on the type and diameter of the rope. The following minimum number of seizings are recommended:Preformed or Postformed ordinary lay 1 seizing. Langs lay rope with wire rope core and rotation resistant ropes 2 seizings. Seizing Wire Both soft annealed single wire and stranded seizing wires are used in the seizing of steel wire ropes. Suitable sizes are listed below:List of Seizings Recommended For Standard Ropes Rope Diameter (mm) 7 wire seizing strand Up to 14 16 26 28 38 Over 38 7/0.90 7/1.25 Single seizing wire 0.90 1.25 2.00 2.75
Seizing
Either of the following methods of seizing will ensure that the rope will later perform its job satisfactorily. Long Seizing (for ropes over 26mm diameter) 1. Place one end of seizing wire in the valley between strands. 2. Take the long end of the wire and turn at right angles to itself and wind back over itself and the rope in a close tight seizing of the required length. 3. The amount of seizing should not be less than 6 to 8 times the rope diameter. 4. Twist the two ends of the wire together. Alternate tightening and twisting of the ends will draw the seizing up tight. 5. Cut the end of the twisted wires and knock down into a valley between two strands.

Storage
Ropes, whether on reel or in coils, should be stored on blocks off the floor to prevent sweating and corrosion and under cover in dry conditions free from possible attack by corrosive agents, such as milldust, sulphur or acid fumes.
29
WARNING
When releasing rope from coils or reels, care must be taken to retard the violent release of the rope end which could cause damage, serious injury or death.
Installation
Rope Equipment Checking
Improved rope performance can be obtained by paying attention to the following areas: Sheaves should be grooved to the nominal rope diameter plus an allowance of 7% to allow for rope manufacturing tolerances and should be re-machined when worn to nominal diameter plus 3%. Sheaves must also be free from score marks, run freely and be true. Guides and rollers must be free from undersized grooving and broken flanges, and should run free and true. Drum grooves should be checked for size and riser plates checked for effectiveness. Displaced or damaged cheek plates in rope blocks or safety guards should be repaired. Grabbing clutches and brakes should be repaired and adjusted to obviate impact loads on the rope.
Handling
Incorrect handling of rope from reels and coils can result in springing of wires and strands and kinking of the rope. This type of damage can seldom be entirely corrected and can greatly reduce the effective life of the rope. The drawings show correct and incorrect methods of reeling a rope from the transport reel onto a drum or another reel. The transport reel should be firmly mounted and braked to prevent overrunning and give tight rewinding. A suitable stand for the reel is also shown.
Correct method
Incorrect method
End fittings, such as wedges, sockets and drums anchorages, should be inspected for excessive wear. The fleet angle has an important bearing on the winding of a rope from sheave to drum, particularly at high operation speeds. If winding is to take place smoothly, the fleet angles on both sides of the drum will have to be kept within acceptable limits. Excessive fleet angles can result in considerable abrasive damage to both sheave flanges and rope and considerably reduce the life of the rope and the equipment. Fleet angles normally range to a maximum of 1.5 for plain drums and to a maximum of 2.5 for grooved drums. Smaller angles are required for high speed haulage such as mine windings. Unless the head or guide sheave is centred with respect to the drum, there will be different values for the left and the right fleet angles.
Methods of removing rope from reels & coils Turntables, preferably mounted on the floor, may be used for unwinding ropes from reels stored on their sides. Care must be taken to brake such turntables, as over-running could cause the rope to slacken, fall off and foul under the turntable. If a coil is too large to be handled manually it should be mounted on a turntable or suspended by a spindle from a swivel crane hook. When coiling ropes down by hand on the floor, an occasional coil wound underhand relieves torque and provides a more easily handled coil. Right Hand lay ropes should be coiled down clockwise, Left Hand lay ropes anti-clockwise.
Incorrect method: Dont pull the rope from a stationary coil. Correct methods of taking ropes from coils: Roll the coil along the ground or use a turntable. Drum
Tensioning Rope
Wire rope for multi-layer drums must be installed under tension. It is imperative that the bottom layer is tight with the exact number of turns on the drum.
Correct methods of taking ropes from reels: When a large reel is used, it is recommended that a plank is used as a brake against the reel flange or on the shaft or side plate.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Wire Rope Life
The main factors, which affect rope life are:
2. Operating Environment:
Corrosion when corrosive conditions exist, regular rope inspection, particularly of the IWRC, is essential. The effects of corrosion can be partly offset by the use of galvanised wire rope. Temperature excessively high operating temperatures can lead to deterioration of the wire rope core, and thereby cause rope fatigue.
3. Rope Maintenance:
End for ending and cropping in certain applications, e.g., drag ropes, it is possible to "end for end" the rope. This will give longer rope life due to the wear points being re-located. If additional rope can be accommodated on the drum, then progressive cutting back (cropping) will bring "new" rope into the system, and will re-locate wear points. Treatment of broken wires broken wires affecting the life of adjacent wires should be removed. Discard practices - clear policies regarding discard should be formulated. Rope Maintenance Schedules, based on experience, should be drawn up to provide periodic inspections and removal cycles for each rope as well as inspections of individual components such as the sheaves. Regular maintenance ensures optimum rope life, minimises down time of plant and equipment and increases the efficiency of the operation.
Broken Wires
General purpose ropes, crane ropes and hoist ropes should be discarded whenever any of the types of degradation exceed the limits given in the Table below. However, the rope life may be ended before these limits are reached. The table below allows for internal wire breaks and is valid for all constructions of rope. In 6-strand and in 8-strand ropes, wire breaks occur principally at the external surface. This does not apply to wire ropes having a number of layers of strands (typically multistrand constructions), where the majority of wire breaks occur internally and are therefore non-visible fractures.

Outer wires are worn more than one third of their diameter The loss of metallic area due to visible combined wire wear and broken or cracked wires exceeds 10% Corrosion is marked by noticeable pitting or loosening of outer wires
NOTES: 1. The number of wire breaks before discard in the above table is quite high, and if wire breaks are concentrated in one strand, lower levels for discard are appropriate. If more than one third of the outer wires in a strand are broken over a length of six times the rope diameter, the rope shall be discarded. 2. Where ropes are used for lifts, AS 1735.2 applies, which is less stringent than the above table. The mining industry frequently requires more stringent discard criteria. 3. Rope of Langs lay construction other than rotation resistant ropes shall have no more than 50% of the above values. 4. Number of broken wires alone is not the only factor in discarding a wire rope.

Deterioration
Typical examples of wire rope deterioration
1. Mechanical damage due to rope movement over sharp edges whilst under load
3. Narrow path of wire breaks caused by working in a grossly oversized groove or over small support rollers.
Inspection
Wire rope is tough and durable, but nonetheless expendable and eventually reaches the end of its safe service life. Rope deterioration becomes noticeable through the presence of broken wires, surface wear, corrosion, wire or strand distortion due to mechanical abuse, or drastic reduction in diameter and lengthening of the lay. Also deterioration can be detected by the use of non-destructive testing techniques. Wire ropes should periodically be inspected for signs of deterioration. While Statutory Regulations govern the inspection and discarding of certain wire ropes, the same rules cannot be applied to all ropes. The proper frequency and degree of inspection depends largely on the possible risk to personnel and machinery in the event of rope failure. The determination of the point at which a rope should be discarded for reasons of safety requires judgment and experience in rope inspection in addition to knowledge of the performance of previous ropes used in the same application. Where the Statutory Regulations are laid down for the inspection and discarding of wire ropes and their attachments, wire rope users should become fully acquainted with the regulations and see that they are carried out. Sufficient records should be kept to provide a reliable history of the ropes under their control. Inspection of both operated and discarded ropes frequently indicates equipment faults that have a large bearing on the service life and safety of the rope. It is therefore essential to inspect the equipment on which the rope is used as well as the rope itself. 4. Severe wear in Langs Lay, caused by abrasion at crossover points on multi-layer coiling application. 5. Corrosion of severe degree caused by immersion of rope in water. 6. Typical wire fractures as a result of bend fatigue. 7. Wire fractures at the strand, or core interface, as distinct from crown fractures caused by failure of core support. 8. Typical example of localised wear and deformation created at a previously kinked portion of rope. 9. Multi-strand rope bird caged due to torsional unbalance. Typical of build-up seen at anchorage end of multi-fall crane application. 10. Protrusion of IWRC resulting from shock loading.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Stretch in Ropes
When load is first applied to a new rope it stretches due to the individual wires settling down. This is referred to as the Initial or Manufacturing Stretch. Subsequently a gradual stretch takes place during the whole of the ropes life; the amount depends on many variables such as length, type of construction, loading and the modulus of elasticity of the particular rope. T = (2W + Lw) Where T W L w a E = = = = = = To forecast the amount of stretch accurately for a rope under a given set of conditions, calculations must be based on the result of a load / extension test on a sample from the particular rope. However, if the results of such a test are not available, an indication of the increase in length can be obtained from the formula.

Koepe friction winders are either installed in a ground or tower mounted configuration. The number of head and tail rope pairs can vary between 1 and 10 depending on the hoisting duty of the winder. In general the combined unit mass of the head and tail ropes are equal to ensure balanced winding. Single layer rope constructions are widely used for shallower shaft Koepe
winders, but for depths exceeding 900 m it is critical that non-spin or rotation resistance constructions are used. For free looping tail ropes, non-spin ropes with swivels under both conveyances are recommended. For multi-rope winders, rope load balancing and equal driving sheave/drum circumferences are critical to ensure good rope life.
Double drum and BMR winders are almost always ground mounted. For these winders, single layer rope constructions can be used even in very deep shafts in even in excess of 3000 m. However, in such cases the lay length changes from the manufactured state would be significant. Rope load balancing and accurate drum spooling between rope pairs are critical on BMR winders. Ropes which offer high drum crushing
resistance are preferred for these applications as the ropes normally deteriorate first at the _ turn and layer crossovers on parrellel grooved drums. In cases where the ropes are free to rotate during the winding cycle (e.g. kibble winders) or where the shaft uses rope guides, non-spin or rotation resistant constructions are used.

7 x 19
7 x 19 is the most common and versatile construction of stainless steel wire rope. It consists of 7 strands each with 19 wires and is the most flexible and the easiest construction to work with particularly where the rope needs to turn corners, change directions or where ferrule secured thimble eyes and wire rope grips are used. 7 x 19 can be used in either fixed rigging or for limited working rope applications such as on a boat winch.
7x7
7 x 7 consists of 7 strands each with 7 wires and is not as flexible as 7 x 19. 7 x 7 is an excellent choice for fixed rigging applications such as balustrading and safety barrier rails. Although 7 x 7 is stiffer than 7 x 19 it is still capable of limited angles and can be used with thimble eyes or swage fittings. 7 x 7 has very limited applications as a running or working rope.
1 x 19
1 x 19 consists of a single strand with 19 wires. 1 x 19 is very stiff and is suitable for fixed "straight line" rigging only such as mast stays, guy ropes and structural applications. It cannot be used with thimble eyes and is best utilised and looks very effective with machine swaged end fittings.

316 Grade ropes are preferred but 304 Grade is also usually available. Please nominate grade required at time of order.
