Wire Rope Cable
ASTRO supplies marine wire rope in 304 or 316 stainless steel and constructions from 1×19 to 6×37, subject to the requested specification. Send the diameter, length, finish, lubrication, fittings, operating conditions, load and test requirements for review.
304 and 316 stainless steel options reviewed for the specified environment.
Constructions from 1×19 to 6×37 can be reviewed against the required flexibility and load.
Diameter, length, finish, lubrication and end fittings defined by drawing.
Inspection, testing, documentation, quantity and packaging confirmed for the order.
Marine wire rope must be selected for the complete application, including load, bending, corrosion exposure, fittings, inspection and maintenance. Stainless steel grade and rope construction affect corrosion resistance, flexibility and mechanical performance.
304 or 316 stainless steel reviewed according to the exposure and documentation required.
Constructions from 1×19 to 6×37 reviewed according to flexibility, bending and load conditions.
Diameter, finish, lubrication, cut length and supply format defined by specification.
Loops, terminals, thimbles and other end fittings reviewed as part of the assembly.
Application and equipment drawing.
Material grade, rope construction, nominal diameter and tolerance.
Finished length, fittings and dimensional requirements.
Static or dynamic load, bend diameter, speed and duty cycle.
Saltwater, weather, temperature, abrasion and other exposure conditions.
Inspection, proof-load or other test method and acceptance criteria.
Quantity, documentation, packaging and destination.
Typical enquiries include vessel rigging, winch cable, fishing equipment, docks, towing equipment, cranes, anchors and lifeboat equipment. Each use requires its own engineering review, applicable standards and inspection plan.
The equipment owner should define inspection intervals and discard criteria for the actual rope, equipment and duty cycle. Cleaning and compatible lubrication should follow the agreed specification and equipment instructions. Rope showing damage, deformation, corrosion or deterioration should be assessed by qualified personnel.
Send the drawing or specification, operating conditions, required testing, quantity and delivery destination.
Specify the applicable material standard, certificate, inspection plan and test report required for the marine application. Availability, scope, sampling and acceptance criteria are confirmed for the quoted product.
