 ROPE TERMINOLOGY
1. COMPACT ROPES-
Ropes which is subjected to compacting process after
closing,thus reducing diameter.
2. SOLID POLYMER FILLED ROPES-
3. Ropes in which free internal space is filled with polymer.
 ROPES DESCRIPTION
TECHNICAL ENQUIRY
a) Diamension Diameter and length of the rope
b) Detail of construction Number of strands
Number of cores
Number of stands per core
Direction and type of lay
Type of cores
Types of construction

TENSILE DESIGNATION
c) The intended purpose of use
d) The fittings required

CONSTRUCTION AND TECHNICAL REQUIREMENT

a) DIAMENSIONS - 1.Length
2.Diameter (in mm)
b) CONSTRUCTION -1.Number of strands
2.Wire placement
3.Type of lay
4.Type of core
5.Type of construction
6.Number of lay
7.Direction of lay
 SPECIFICATION OF THE ROPES
1) Standered wire ropes for winding and man riding haulags mines
2) Steel wire ropes for haulage purpose
3) Steel wire ropes for general engineering purpose
4) Specification for steel wire suspension ropes for lifts,escalator
 SELECTION CRITERA FOR STEEL ROPES
1.
Crane type -> what type of ropes are needed
Standards > safety factors, discard criteria, inspection
Environment -> lubrication, surface treatment, material
Crane load capacity > breaking load, diameter, wire grade
Target costs - > cost of ownership, you get what you pay for
Operation -> safety, reliability, quality, service life time
Supply chain -> manufacturing, distribution, spare parts, technical
service
Repetitive part usage -> modular design

2.

Hoisting rope > rotation resistance, use of a swivel

Trolley rope -> low elongation, bending cycles, breaking load
Boom hoist -> flexibility, breaking load, rough spooling
Pendant rope - > length tolerance, weight, breaking load
Systems lengths -> rope lengths, weight
Reeving system -> number of falls, bending cycles, reverse
bending, flexibility, hoisting speed

Geometry details -> sheaves, drum, fleet angles

Multi layer spooling -> roundness, exact diameter tolerance,
rope stiffness, change of shape under load and pressure, special
design features
End connections -> material, breaking load
