• Single-Wire centre with six wires of the same diameter.
• Free from moisture, duct and fumes.
• Suitable lubricant to be applied every 3 months to the outer layers.
• Reel containing ropes to be rolled through 90 degree after every 3 months.
• Protect wooden reels from the attack of termites.
• In no case the reels should be put on ground or uncommented floor.

Commonly Used Rope (Non-compacted) Characteristics Simply Stated

• More wires in the outer strand (14 for 36WS) will improve bend fatigue.
• Less wires in the outer strands (9 for 19S) improve wear/abrasion resistance characteristics.
• Steel core (IWRC) IWRC resists drum crushing better than fibre core.
• Langs Lay resists interference at drum better than ordinary lay.
