Steel Wire Rope; A Complex Machine
Commonly represented by a simple single line on an
engineering drawing, a wire rope is actually a complex
machine with hundreds of independent interacting
component wires.
The design and quality of materials and manufacturing
techniques used in the production of each component
determines the characteristics and potential performance
of the rope.
The basic elements and component strength members
of a steel wire rope are the individual wires.
The next stage in the construction of a wire rope is to
manufacture rope strands from spinning wires together
helically.
Fig 1.
Strand a number of single
wires helically twisted together
Wire basic element
IWRC Independent
Wire Rope Core

core of steel or bre
The construction of a relatively simple 6 strand rope,
as shown in Fig 1., is made in this case from spinning
6 strands containing 36 wires each around an
independent wire rope core (IWRC), itself comprised of
6 strands around a central King strand.
Unlike bre ropes where a variety of synthetic materials
offer a wide range of properties, the basic material
properties of high quality steel wire can only be modied
within a relatively small range. Hence, wire rope
construction is instrumental in achieving the different
performance characteristics necessary to meet differing
application demands.
Denitions, designations and classications
Oil and Gas 03

Wire rope is rightly classied as a complex machine.
Consider that in dynamic applications the strands
and individual wires need to be able to repeatedly
move relative to their neighbours in order to
bend, straighten and extend to share load across
the full cross section of the rope.

for dynamic applications there are typically 3 main types of construction as shown below
Resistance to Rotation
It is important to determine whether there is a requirement
to use a low rotation or rotation resistant rope. Such ropes
are often referred to as multi - strand ropes. 6 or 8 strand
rope constructions are usually selected unless load rotation
on a single part system or cabling on a multi-part reeving
system are likely to cause operational problems. See Fig 3.
When loaded, steel wire ropes will generate;
It should be noted that all ropes will rotate to some
degree when loaded. The diagram below serves to
illustrate the differences in rotational properties between
the four basic types of stranded rope.
The torque or turn generated will increase as the load applied
increases. The degree to which a wire rope generates torque
or turn will be inuenced by the construction of the rope.
Having recognised what can happen when a rope is loaded
it is necessary to select the correct type of rope.

Steel Wire Rope Constructions
A load held by a single layer ropes such as 6 and 8 strand rope will rotate, therefore to prevent loads spinning in single
fall systems rotation resistant or low rotation ropes that resist the tendency to rotate are specied for lifting applications.
Optimising Rope Designs
As with any machine the quality materials, effective design
and controls of manufacturing processes of the constituent
parts are critical to the operational performance of the end
product. However, maximising all properties is not possible,
hence, as with all engineering, rope design is the art of
intelligent compromise.
The primary building block for the rope is wire. Available
tensile strength and ductility for a given wire size are
governed by chemistry, metallurgy, process restrictions and
the level of control of manufacturing processes.
It is the role of the rope designer to use their skill and
experience to make the intelligent compromise between these
factors to successfully achieve the desired rope performance.
Large wires provide an excellent bearing surface for robust
performance; however their lower tensile strength, inferior
fatigue performance and shorter resultant rope length limit
their use. To make longer lengths of rope an increased
number of smaller diameter wires and strands are required.
Larger diameter ropes have an increased steel cross section
to develop the necessary higher strengths.
Smaller wires offer greater exibility and improved rope bend
fatigue performance, but present a smaller surface area
which generally reduces abrasion resistance; hence rope
construction is modied through lay type to provide effective
wear performance.

Rope Lay Direction
Rope design is not just about the steel, but also the gaps
(see Fig 8.) that are retained within the construction to allow
the necessary internal movement. The gaps are created by
the angles at which the strands are laid into the rope.
Strand gap
Centre wire
Core wires
Inner wires
Outer wires
The balancing of these gaps in the rope is essential to enable
effective load sharing. The design of these gaps becomes
more complex in multi-strand ropes where consideration of
additional layers is also required.

Dyform: Rope Compaction
Bridon manufacture ropes using a unique dyforming process that compacts the strands as shown in Fig 9. The smooth
surface of the Dyform product provides improved rope to sheave contact leading to reduced wear on both rope and
sheave. Increased cross-sectional steel area and improved inter - wire contact ensures that the rope will operate with lower
internal stress levels resulting in longer bending fatigue life and lower costs.
Resistance to Abrasive Wear
If abrasion is determined to be a major factor in rope deterioration then a wire rope with relatively large outer wires

Abrasive wear can take place between rope and sheave and between rope and drum but the greatest cause of abrasion is
often through interference at the drum.
Oil and Gas 03
Oil and Gas 15
Non Dyform wire rope on adjacent drum laps can cause point contact and accelerated wear. Selection of a Dyform
product will reduce abrasion through improved contact of the smooth surfaces, creating better contact and longer
rope life.
Crush Resistance
In multi-layer coiling applications where there is more than
one layer of rope on the drum it is essential to install the rope
with some back tension. Bridon recommends a minimum
installation tension of between 2.5%and 10% of the minimum
breaking force of the rope.
If this is not achieved, or in certain applications where high
pressure on underlying rope layers is inevitable e.g. a boom
hoist rope raising a boom from the horizontal position,severe
crushing damage can be caused to underlying layers.
Selection of a steel core as opposed to a bre core will help
this situation. Additional resistance to crushing is offered by
a Dyform rope resulting from its high steel ll-factor.
Dyform ropes are recommended for multi-layer coiling
operations where crushing on lower layers is inevitable.
Dyform ropes also reduce rope to sheave abrasion through increased contact of the periphery of the rope with the sheave
as shown in Fig 11.
Fig 11.
Abrasion Resistance
vs Bending Fatigue Resistance
Simplied X Chart
When choosing a rope for a specic application it is often
necessary to reach a balance between the two important
rope characteristics of abrasion resistance and the resistance
to bending fatigue. An established method of determining the
best construction for the rope for the particular operating
conditions is by use of the X- Chart. By referring to this
chart when selecting a rope, the mid-point of the X comes
closest to a balance between resistance to abrasion and
resistance to bending fatigue.
As with most engineering challenges, some degree of
compromise and trade off of the two properties may be
required in order to choose the best rope for the application.
This will ultimately depend on the prevailing conditions under
which the rope will be expected to operate in and the need
to reach an efcient, economical solution. (A more detailed
discussion of the X-Chart can be found in the Wire Rope
Technical Board Wire Rope Users Manual, Fourth Edition.)

Lubrication
Typical wire rope bend fatigue results (Dyform 34LR)
During the wire rope manufacturing process, the space
between the wires is normally lled with petroleum based
lubricant. These lubricants typically have a temperature
operating range of 0C to + 60C. Synthetic lubricants
have an operating temperature range of -40C to + 90C.
It is important when specifying a particular rope to consider
the type of lubricant required for the application and the
amount of lubricant required on the exterior of the rope, as
the tendency is to produce ropes with less lubricant on their
exterior. Lubricants may be applied to wire ropes during
service to both increase their fatigue performance and protect
the ropes from corrosion.

The constant cycling of marine riser tensioner ropes over
sheaves demands that ropes used for this application are
exible and highly-resistant to
bend fatigue.
Dyform rope construction reduces sheave wear and point
loading which combined with the superior dynamic structural
stability provided by the Bristar core delivers exceptional
performance and sets the standard for marine riser tensioner
applications.

HydraPlus, the next generation of precision engineered
multi-stand ropes deliver exceptional low rotation
performance and provide the highest strength to diameter
ratio within the Hydra range.
Ideal for the large capacity multi-layer winching
arrangements typical to sophisticated offshore heavy-lift
cranes, the robust Dyform construction provides high radial
stiffness and superior crush resistance.
Excellent multi-layer spooling characteristics and resistance
to crushing are essential for reliable rope performance in
these applications where load is applied directly to the reeled
rope on its storage winch which can create considerable
radial forces, crushing the underlying lower layers.
The right rope lubrication is vital to reliable performance,
thats why we tailor the lubrication applied in the manufacture
of our Hydra range to deliver optimum lubrication over a
wide range of operating temperatures including elevated
temperatures typical to heave compensation systems.
High performance offshore heavy-lift and subsea
deployment ropes from Bridon, a brand proven in the most
demanding global Oil & Gas applications.
