southwest wire rope sulphur pricelist
Southwest Wire Rope"s Engineering Services Department provides engineered lifting devices, lift plans, and engineered load testing services under the leadership of experienced Professional Engineers with extensive experience in heavy lifting.
• Tensile Strengths are determined in accordance with Cordage Institute 1500.2. Test Methods for Fiber Rope. Minimum Tensile Strength (MTS) published assumes spliced eye tenninations at each end of the rope. Weights actually calculated at linear density under state preloaded (200d’J plus 4%. Diameter and circumference size published is nominal and reflects rope size after loading (10 cycles) to 50% ofMTS. See reverse side for application and safety information .
Plasma® 12 strand is the highest strength synthetic rope available. Plasma® 12 strand is manufactured from High Modulus Polyethylene (HMPE) that has been enhanced by Cortland’s patented recrystallization process. This process is especially effective in medium to large diameter ropes where strengths are over 50% higher and creep is significantly less than that of standard Spectra® 12 strand.

~ 18-8 STAINLESS STEEL WIRE ROPE, CORDS AND STRAND The resistance of U "S"S 18-8 Stainless Steel Wire Rope to hightempe ratures and other corrosive conditions is unique. These productsnot only offer marked resistance to oxidation at elevated tempera-tures, but also possess outstanding creep strength at high temperatures.At 1650 degrees F. U"S"S 18-8 scales comparatively little. It resistseven a moderate sulphur content in gases below 1500 degrees. In theprocess industries, where acids, fumes and steam play havoc withthe ordinary rope construction, U "S"S 18-8 Wire R ope is especiallydesirable. I t is immune to t hese industrial influences and this, com-bined with its resistance to fatigue, results in longer useful wire ropelife. The broader application of U"S"S 18-8 Stainless Steel Wire R opeto Industrial tasks is a move for lower maintenance and more de-pendable service. It is especially adaptable for use in connection withthe followin g elements : Acetic Acid (cold at any Ferrous Sulphate con centration) H y drogen P eroxide Acetic Acid (hot-up to Hydrogen Sulphide approxima t e ly 10 % ) Nitric Acid Ammonium Hydroxide P otassium Chloride Ammonium Salts Potass ium H ydroxide Alcohol Potassium Sulphate Acid Mine Water Photogra phi c Solution Acetone Salt Solution Bichloride of M e r cury (di- lute-anti septic strength) Sea W ater Carbolic Acid Sodium Sulphate Carbonated Water Sulphur Dioxide Citric Acid Sulphuric Acid (cold) Copper Sulphate Sulphurous Acid (cold) Calcium Brine Tanning Liquor C r eosote Wood Pulp Crude Oil Zinc Chlor ide Fruit Juices Zinc Nitrate U ·S·S 18-8 Stainless Steel Wire Rope, Cords and Strand are avail-able in Excellay Preformed construction-the wires and strands arepreformed-making splicing easie r. eliminating crankiness and theneed for seizing.

Proper Working Loads for Wire Rope It is never advisable for the working load of a Wi~Rope for general purposes, to ClCceOO one-filth of thebreaking strength. This means that the fnctor of safetyshould be not less than live. To determine proper work-ing load, divide the breaking strength by the proper factorof ~nfcty; c.g., 1\ \ " diameter Oxl!) Monitor Sted RopeiU18 !I breaking strc ngth of 42 tons and with n fuctorof !!afcty of five the proper worki ng load would be notover 8.4 10118. Factol1l of safety in excess of five, varying up to eightsnd even morc, Brc often required for safe and economicaloperation. The proper facto r of safety for a wire ropeshould be determined by careful and thorough cotlllidcra-l ion of all pertinent data. Such data should include allloads, acceleration, deceleration, rope speed, rope attach-ments, the numbe r, 8i~e and arrangement of a ll shcavesand drums, existing conditions causing corrosion andabrasion, length of rope in service, economical rope lifeand thc degree of dangcr to lifc and propcrty. No fixed arbitrary values for factor of safcty can beproperly set for yarious c1assifications of service.

When selecting a wire rope lubricant, considerationshould be given to the type of work performed by the rope.The lubricant should not t"Onlaill aCids or other iU!,redieutsthat might corrode the Sled. It should be capable ofready penetrat ion through the spaces ootwecn the struuds.T he film of lubricant should be readily self-spreading andhighly adhesive and watef fepelbnt. A general rule for selecting II wire rope lubricnnt is thatthe highe r the speed at which the rope operatcs, thelighter the lubricant, or, technically speaking, the lowerthe viscosity of the lubricant. For low speed installations, such as shovels, cratlcs, andderricks, a heavy pctroleum oil or grefllSC with viscosity ofapproximately 1000 seconds at 210" Ie. applied hot willgive good lubrication. This same lubricant will also give satisfactory lubrica-tion to stationary fOpCS. Either an oil or grease can beused for stationary ropes provided it adheres to the ropeundcr aU conditions. For heavy haulage installations, such as slofJC ropes andlogging ropes, a lighter lubricant with a vi&."osity of from500 to 800 seconds at 210" .F . should be used. leor high speed hoisting ropes, such as mine hoists aneven lightcr lubricant is recommendcd. One with avistosily of 400 to 500 seconds at 100° Ie. givcs goodservice when automatic lubrication is employed. J n all cases, viscosity should be such that the lubricantwill cover the rope lind penetrate thoroughly, and with-stand pressures, but not be thin enough to run off the rope. Crude oils arc in most cases dctrimental to both the steel wires and the heml,l core of wire ropes, and therefore should not be used as Wife rope lubricantil. , T •• " •• l .. ~ •

Trans tnis sion or Haulage Rope "Transmission" and "Haulage" are terms that areapplied to rope composed of six strands-seven wires tothe strand. The demand for rope of this construction fortransmission of power has lessened appreciably in recentyears. The principal use to which it is now put is forhaulage in mines, on inclined planes, on tramways and inthe yards of manufacturing plants. It is also used for drill-ing and Sand Lines in certain districts by well drillingcontractors. By comparing the cut, page 15, with the Hoisting Ropecut on page 20 you will note the coarseness of wires. Theyare nearly twice as large. This is a desirable feature, as inhaulage work for which service it is particularly applicable,it is dragged along the ground and over rough rollers, etc.,being subjected to much abrasive wear. Finer wires wouldwear through and break much more quickly. While the coarseness of the wires is an asset so far asabrasion is concerned, the rope is less flexible than one ofthe Hoisting Rope designs. This should be taken intoconsideration if tile rope is to be subjected to much bend-ing. For bending, where greater flexibility is required,ropes composed of finer wires are usually preferred. Made in five grades, or strengths, as follows:

T ypeS "Special Flexi ble" is a term applied to rope compoaed of/Jix strands, thirty-seven wires to the strand. It is a veryflexible rope and much used on cranes and similar machin_erY1 where rope i81)peraled at hi!h speed and whereaheaveaano drums arc of necessity smal . l Ui wifl!S are smaller thanthose in the Standard i-16istlog «IDstruction, shown onpage 20, and consequently will not stand II.S much abrasivewea r. I t is a very efficient rope because a little over fifty percent of the wires-and consequently over fifty per cent ofthe IItrength- are in the inner layers of the strand, pro-tected from abrlUJion. Thie explains iUl particular advan_tage in addition to its flexibility. Ropes larger than 1 ~1 inch diameter, UI!ed on hoistingapparatus, are 118ually made of thill ooru;truction ratherthan 6 x 19. Made in four grades, i.e.: I. Ca3t8tul 2. Mild I"low Steel 3. I"w w Steel 4" MOllitor Steel

To determine the net selling price of Locomo-tive Switching, Ballast Unloader and WreckingRopes, add to the net price of the length, size andquality of rope specified extras furnished upon re-quest. The net price of the rope is determinedby using list and discount applying to the grade,quality and construction to which the fittings areto be attached, the length being measured fromthe bearing of hook in one end to the bearing ofthe last link in the other end. Extras includefittings and labor of splicing. Prices on application. Galvan.ized Rope Gen e r ;1l Information
Calvanized Rope, like Bright Rope, is made in manygrades and COtUltructiOlis to meet the varying oonditionso f service. It is U9Cd where cX()Of!ure to the weather, con·atant or periodical moisture, etc., are among the wlldi·tioIUI that tend 1.0 corrode a rope not protected in thia way. One should bear in mind however that galvanized ropeillnot well adapted for general hoisting pUTp08C8 as thesheave action wean the zinc olT the crowns of the wires,leaving the m cxpo8ed to the corroding effects of theelements. Detter results will usually be obtained from6lC19, 8x l 9 or 6x37 Bright H.opc8 (ungalvllnized) for ca~ofalls and similar ropes !Llong the waterfront or on shipboard.
