This specification covers the general requirements for the more
common types of stranded steel wire ropes. Included in this
specification are wire ropes in various grades and constructions
from 1⁄4 in. [6 mm] to
23⁄8 in. [60 mm] manufactured from uncoated
or metallic coated wire. Also included are cord products from
1⁄32 in. [0.8 mm] to 3⁄8 in. [10 mm]
manufactured from metallic coated wire. For specific applications,
additional or alternative requirements may apply.
The values stated in either inch-pounds or SI units are to be
regarded separately as standard.Within the text, the SI units are
shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact
equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of
the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in
nonconformance with the specification.
