6x36WS (Warrington Seale) - 6x19 & 6x36 Classification Wire Rope

The document discusses different classifications of 6x36 wire rope constructions, which are selected to provide fatigue resistance without having wires that are too small. It also notes that 6x36 classifications are more susceptible to crushing which can be minimized by using an Independent Wire Rope Core and well-designed sheaves, drums and proper operating techniques. A table provides the specifications of various wire rope diameters, their minimum breaking forces, and weights per foot.

6x36WS (Warrington Seale)

In most rope sizes, only one 6 x 36 classification rope is made. These constructions were selected to
provide fatigue resistance without having wires that are too small.

The greater number of wires in the 6 x 36 classification makes these ropes more susceptible to crushing.
This can be minimized, however, by specifying an Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC) and by using
well-designed sheaves, grooved drums and proper operating techniques.
