Correct Usage Methods for Ropes
1. Breaking strength serves as a reference and varies with rope diameter.
2. Specifications are based on tests conducted on newly produced, unused ropes.
3. With use, the wear and tear on ropes become increasingly apparent. Depending on the application, abrasion-resistant sleeves can be added for protection.
4. Ideal Usage and Storage Conditions:
Temperature: Should not exceed 50°C; optimal storage temperature is below 45°C.
Ropes must not be stored with electrolytic copper or aluminum.
Ropes must not be stored with acidic substances.
5. To ensure safety, companies typically provide a required tensile value. When procuring ropes, specify the exact diameter and length. Standard lengths are usually 200 meters / 110 fathoms (1 fathom = 6 feet) or 220 meters / 120 fathoms. Other lengths can be customized based on user requirements.
6. During procurement, communicate with the rope manufacturer regarding:
Whether eye splices are needed on one or both ends. The size of the eye splices. Whether abrasion-resistant coatings are required on the eye splices.
7. Certifications such as China Classification Society (CCS), UIAA, CE, and other international standards can be provided based on user needs.
8. Material Properties:
Polypropylene ropes and polypropylene filament composite ropes are water-resistant and float. Nylon ropes absorb water and sink.Polyester ropes do not absorb water but sink due to their high density.
