Synopsis

Understanding wire rope testing: how construction, materials, and lubrication affect strength and reliability

This book explains the early, systematic study of wire-rope properties. It covers tests on about 300 cables and shows how different manufacturers and constructions influence performance. The focus is on tensile strength and how ropes behave under load, with attention to lubrication and material quality.

  • Learn how wire ropes are built from strands, wires, and cores, and how “6 by 19 by 6” or similar descriptions describe their structure
  • See why lubrication matters for stress distribution, wear resistance, and life expectancy of hoisting cables
  • Discover how test data are organized by cable type (tiller, guy, hoisting) and by diameter to compare results
  • Get a historical view of the testing program, including the institutions and manufacturers involved
Ideal for readers of engineering, materials science, and rope-management topics who want practical insight into cable construction and performance.
