Ship Used Steel Wire Rope
Ship used steel wire rope is essential in marine industries as it plays a crucial role in mooring, towing, lifting, and lowering equipment, as well as in drilling operations, aquaculture and fishing activities. It is a cable made of several strands of wire twisted together to form a helix pattern, providing strength and flexibility to withstand the harsh marine environment. The wire rope’s strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion make it an ideal material for these applications.
Overview
Brief introduction:
Long term mooring: single strand steel wire rope, full-lock coil ropes
Mobile mooring, towing: linear contact round strand wire rope
Marine lifting, A&R winch: compacted strand wire rope
Towrope, sling: large diameter round strand wire rope
Available diameters: ≤264mm
Material: high carbon steel(70#, 72A, 82A, 82LX), stainless steel, etc.
Finish: galvanized, plastic coated, and more
Standard: GB/T 33364, YB/T 5359, EN12385, ISO 2408
Usage: mooring, towing, lifting, and lowering equipment, as well as in drilling operations, aquaculture and fishing activities
Typical structure:
-Long term mooring wire rope: 1×229, 1×283, 1×343~1×559, ZZZ-WSC, ZZZZ-WSC, etc.
-Mobile mooring, towing wire rope: 6×36WS,6×41WS, 6×49SWS, 6×55SWS, 8×36WS, 8×41WS, 8×49SWS, 8×55WS, 8×109SWSNS, 6×K36WS,6×K41WS, 6×K47WS, 6×K55SWS,, etc.
-Marine lifting, A&R winch: 35(W)×K7, 35(W)×K19S, 35(W)×K36WS, 40(W)×K719S, etc.
-Towrope, sling: 8×61, 8×91N, etc.
The Role of Fiber Cores in ship used Steel Wire Ropes
1. Reduce Internal Friction: The fiber core acts as a cushion within the steel wire rope, reducing internal friction when the rope is tensioned.
2. Increase Flexibility: The fiber core enhances the flexibility of the steel wire rope, making it easier to handle and operate.
3. Prevent Internal Corrosion: Since the fiber core contains oil, it helps prevent internal corrosion of the steel wire rope.
4. Provide Lubrication: The fiber core serves a lubricating function.
Safety Notice:
1. In operation, the wire rope should be in steady speed
2. Never overload, and never shock load a wire rope
3. Wire rope should be inspected regularly, including abrasion of wire rope, condition of broken wire and metal parts
4. It is important to clean and replace lubricant to the wire rope periodically.
The service life of wire rope has a great relation with the use method, so it should be used according to the rules.
