Summary
[edit]DescriptionEB1911 Rope and Rope-making, 8.jpg |
English: Fig. 8 shows in section ten different types of construction, the particulars of which appear below:—
1. Laid rope made of 6 strands of 7 wires each. This is the class of rope most frequently used for hauling ropes where the size of the barrel and sheave will permit; it is also the make of rope in general use for standing rigging, and is such as is required by Lloyd’s regulations. 2. Hauling rope made of 6 strands, each strand being of 7 wires covering 7 smaller ones. 3. Hauling rope made of 6 strands, each of 8 wires covering 7 smaller ones. 4. Hauling rope made of 6 strands, each of 10 wires covering 7 smaller ones. 5. Formed rope made of 6 strands of 19 wires each. In larger sizes this make of rope is used for standing rigging on vessels. In smaller sizes it is sometimes used for running rigging, and it is the usual make of rope for trawl warps. 6. Flexible steel wire rope, made of 6 strands each of 12 wires, with hemp heart and hemp centre in each strand. This is the usual make of flexible steel wire rope, 412 in. in circumference and smaller; used for hawsers, running lifts, hoists, &c. 7. Extra flexible steel wire rope made of 6 strands each of 24 wires. 8. Special extra flexible steel wire rope made of 6 strands each of 37 wires. 9. Special extra flexible steel wire rope made of 6 strands each of 61 wires. This is the make of rope usually adopted for large ropes-say over 10 in. in circumference-which are largely used for slipway and salvage purposes., 10. Cable-laid rope. This is an obsolete form of rope, which is composed of six complete ropes twisted together. |
