Steel Wire Rope For Offshore Construction


Anchor Wire And Winch Wire
A Huge Inventory
KTL Offshore maintains an inventory of over 6,000 metric tons of the worlds premium wire rope brands such as KISWIRE, Usha Martin and DSR. Tensile grades include EIPS and EEIPS as well as the latest ultra high-strength grades such as KISWIREs Alpha and Delta grades and Usha Martins Super Titan and Titan Max grades. These grades have a rated strength well in excess of the standard EEIPS grade.

Wire Rope Construction


Anchor and winch wire rope is subjected to heavy abrasion, fatigue, mechanical handling and corrosion damage. For all wire rope for offshore use we recommend a drawn galvanized surface finish. The zinc coating is applied prior to wire drawing and hence provides protection against corrosion while also retaining the required mechanical properties in the steel wire. To achieve the optimum balance between fatigue and abrasion resistance, the following table provides a guide for the correct rope construction:

Wire Rope For Pipe Lay Operations


Special Wire Rope For A&R Applications
Wire rope for A&R winches is fast evolving into a highly specialised product that only a few manufacturers can provide. Depending upon water depth, the wire rope may be a standard construction, a low rotation type or rotation resistant type. At KTL Offshore, we can evaluate your operating conditions to recommend the correct type of wire rope. State-of-theart CAD is used to conduct the evaluation, and recommendations are provided after consultation with our principles.

KTL Offshore Offers Years Of Experience In This Demanding Field

6x36 (Standard Rope)

Spin 9KP (Rotation Resistant)

35xk7 (Low Rotation)

A standard 6x36 construction is very robust but has limited resistance to rotation and may cause complications because of twisting and eventual kinking of the wire rope. The 35xk7 low rotation rope has the best resistance to rotation and twisting. It is very rugged in the compacted form; as such, it is an excellent rope for use in A&R operations. The Spin 9KP rope has improved rotation resistance compared to the 6x36 type. Yet, it retains much of the abrasion resistance thanks to the nine compacted strands. It is a good option when the rope is for meant for dedicated use in A&R applications only.

(Left) 84mm diameter x 1,200 metres low rotation A&R wire rope supplied by KTL Offshore. The rope was manufactured by Redaelli in Italy.

Wire Rope For Shore Pull Applications


When specified at the time of order, we are able to direct our wire rope manufacturer to design and supply steel reels that can handle the high back-tension forces exerted in a shore pull (beach pull) operation. As a value added service, we also engineer and modify existing steel reels to meet shore pull requirements.

KTL Offshore Value Added Services: KTL Offshore can provide a Load vs Twist evaluation to demonstrate The

how the proposed wire rope will rotate and twist when loaded and lowered to a certain water depth. steel reels supplied with the wire rope are critical, especially when used in beach pull operations. KTL Offshore can provide the strength and design calculations to assess strength and backtension requirements, as well as modify and strengthen existing reels to meet the same criteria.

Wire Rope For Cranes


Heavy Lift Mast (HLM) Cranes
The latest concept in heavy lift cranes for offshore operations is the Heavy Lift Mast Crane. Popular brands include Huisman, Seatracks and Amclyde. These cranes use the latest in wire rope designs to achieve the high breaking load and safety factors of the upgraded API 8C specification. The modern HLM crane demands wire rope having extremely tight tolerances on specification it is very important that careful consideration is given to the correct rope construction and brand before selecting the replacement wire rope. KTL Offshore recommends only Redaelli (Italy) for HLM crane applications.

KTL Offshore maintains an impressive inventory of these two brands of wire rope.

Main, Auxiliary And Whip (Fly) Hoist Wire Rope


Depending upon crane design, wire rope for main, auxiliary and whip (fly) hoist duty may either be a low rotation or non-rotation resistant construction. When a double drum hoisting system is deployed, a left hand and right hand non-rotation resistant combination is usually used. For single drum applications, a low rotation wire rope is often recommended by the crane designer. Consult KTL Offshore for the correct selection of wire rope.

Boom Hoist (Luffing) And Topping Wire Rope


Compacted 8- or 9-strand wire rope with plastic impregnation is the ideal choice for demanding boom hoist (luffing) and topping applications. Double-parallel closed wire ropes are also used as they exhibit superior fatigue life and exceptionally high breaking loads.
Redaellis Pack 9P offers increased fatigue life due to the 9 compacted outer strands. In addition, the plastic impregnation offers greater crushing, fatigue and shock loading ability.

A compact 35xk7 low rotation wire rope is the ideal choice for single-drum hoisting applications. Most HLM cranes use this type for the main and auxiliary hoist ropes. For paired rope systems, robust non-rotation resistant types such as the 8- or 9-strand compacted wire rope with plastic impregnation are more suitable.
08 KTL Offshore Pte Ltd

Most derrick crane barges use the older, standard wire rope designs for crane applications. However, many operators are now replacing these designs with high performance wire rope such as compacted 6- and 8-strand, and compacted 35xK7 low rotation wire rope. This is because the extreme crushing forces exerted on the boom rope in particular under conditions of multilayer coiling. Compacted 6-strand wire rope is very robust. Trials by one of the worlds largest offshore construction and derrick crane barge operators have proven that the use of high performance wire rope greatly extends the rope life.

The standard 6x25Fi construction (left) may be replaced by the compact 6x36 type (right) for increased rope performance.

Offshore Pedestal Cranes


Pedestal cranes have a very high work ratio as they are most commonly used on offshore drilling rigs and small to medium derrick barges. As this application is extremely demanding, only wire rope of the highest quality is suitable.

Compact 35xK7: ideal for main, auxiliary and whip (fly) hoisting and pendant rope applications.

Compact 6x36: highly rugged construction that is suitable for boom (luffing) hoist duties.

Compact 8-strand with plastic impregnation: 8 strands and plastic layer increase fatigue, crushing and shock absorbing ability. It is ideal for boom (luffing) hoist duties.

Compact 9-strand with plastic impregnation: added fatigue and crushing resistance makes it the ultimate rope for boom (luffing) applications.

09 KTL Offshore Pte Ltd

Davit Wire Rope


The davit is used to raise and lower equipment over the side of the vessel, sometimes in significant water depths. The reeving system is usually very simple, therefore for these reasons it is recommended to use standard or compacted 6-strand wire rope.

Dive Support Vessel (DSV) Crane Rope


The Dive Support Vessel (DSV) has unique requirements for wire rope used in the bell hoist application. At KTL Offshore our personnel understand these requirements and we are able to provide the additional value added services to ensure your operation runs trouble-free and safely.

KTL Offshore Value Added Services: We have qualified wire rope inspectors to carry
destructive and destructive testing for bell wire.

Heavy Lift Sling Product Range (Steel Wire Rope)


KimSwage Flemish Eye Slings
KimSwage slings are large diameter wire rope slings using a single wire rope with a Flemish eye splice. This new product range eliminates the need to use a braided or cable laid sling for the lower range of heavy lift slings. The KimSwage range has outstanding flexibility and ease of handling that is similar to a single wire rope. The range is available in 4-1/2 (114mm), 5.0 (127mm) and 6.0 (152mm) diameters. The 6.0 diameter sling is made from an 8-strand wire rope for increased flexibility. The KimSwage range is made to the same strict tolerances as our KimFlex and cable laid slings.

KimFlex Braided Slings


KimFlex braided slings are multi part slings braided in a 9-strand configuration and terminated using a Flemish eye splice and steel ferrules. This produces heavy lift slings that are extremely easy to handle. The typical construction of a KimFlex sling is 9x(6x36+IWRC). The eyes are laid in parallel to produce a very narrow structure, making these slings ideal for situations where there are limited spaces for the connection at the eye. Available in diameters up to 24, KimFlex braided slings offer the following advantages: Flexibility Ease of inspection Narrow Gap eye dimension Reduced weight Reduced rotation properties

KimLock Cable Laid Slings Resin Socketed


The KIMLOCK cable laid sling has a resin socketed termination with an efficiency of 100%. This results in a sling with a very high breaking force. KTL Offshore designs and fabricates our KIMLOCK cable laid slings to the PM20 (1987) Guidance Note. The typical construction of a KIMLOCK cable laid sling is 7x(6x36+IWRC). KIMLOCK cable laid slings are available up to 16 in diameter.

15 KTL Offshore Pte Ltd

Cable Laid Slings Hand Spliced


Hand spliced cable laid slings have been used in the offshore industry for several decades and are still a favorite with many heavy lift contractors due to their proven ruggedness and reliability. KTL Offshore designs and fabricates our cable laid slings to the IMCA M179 (2004) specification, which replaces the old PM 20 series. The typical construction of a cable laid sling is 7x(6x36+IWRC). Cable laid slings are available up to 16 in diameter.

Heavy Lift Grommet Product Range (Steel Wire Rope)


Cable Laid Grommets
Made to IMCA M179 (2004), cable laid grommets offer an extremely rugged lifting connection that is able to withstand the most adverse bending and lifting conditions. Laid up with six outer ropes over a core rope, the core rope is butted and not spliced and hence it is disregarded in the strength calculation and the construction of a cable laid grommet is depicted as 12x(6x36+IWRC). This is in compliance to IMCA M179 as well as the now withdrawn PM 20 specification. KTL Offshore cable laid grommets are provided with 3-ply wire rope seizing at each end, steel identification collar and visibly marked tuck and core butt positions. Cable laid grommets are available up to 13.5 in diameter.

KTL Offshore cable laid grommets are produced Twist Free to ensure ease of use.

Application InformationHeavy Lift Slings


KTL Offshore Offers The Widest Choice For Your Heavy Lift Requirements 1. Which Heavy Lift Sling To Use?
The answer to this question depends upon several factors, mainly concerned with the type of lift being planned. Where the required working load permits, the single-part KimSwage Flemish eye slings should always be used as they have the highest strength-to-mass ratio and are the easiest slings to handle. When the working load exceeds the maximum available in the KimSwage range, the choice is between the flexible KimFlex range and the robust cable laid range. While each sling type posses certain advantages over the other, either type can be used safely for almost any lift. The table below provides a guideline for the optimum sling selection.

Strength-to-mass ratio is the CSBL divided by the total mass of a 20-metre long sling at the maximum available diameter. CSBL is the term used to denote sling strength for slings made from multiple component wire rope while MBL is used for slings made from a single component wire rope. # Sling should be de-rated by 20% when used with a swivel.

2. Design Factor, Safety Factor And Rated Capacity (WLL or SWL)


In keeping with good practice and sound engineering design KTL Offshore follows the recommended practice as stipulated in the major international specifications such as IMCA M179 and ASME B30.9. The Wire Rope Sling Users Manual issued by the Wire Rope Technical Board is also a widely respected reference document. The design factor or safety factor is used to calculate the sling or grommets rated capacity and allows for conditions such as wear, abrasion, damage and variations in load. The rated capacity of a sling or grommet is based upon the minimum breaking load of the component wire rope, splicing efficiency, spinning loss, number of parts of wire rope used, type of hitch, diameter around which the body of the sling or grommet is bent (D/d) and the diameter of the pin used in the eye of the sling. In the industry many terms are used to describe the rated capacity such as Working Load Limit (WLL) and Safe Working Load (SWL). In line with IMCA M179 and PM 20, KTL Offshore uses the term WLL to designate the maximum allowable load the sling or grommet is allowed to raise, lower or suspend.
18 KTL Offshore Pte Ltd

2.1 WLL For KimSwage Slings


For a straight pull with no horizontal angle, the rated capacity for KimSwage slings is provided by the following formula:

Where: MBL = Minimum Breaking Load of KimSwage sling using a splicing efficiency of 0.9

WLL = MBL Safety Factor

D/d at the eye = 1.0 Minimum

2.2 WLL For KimFlex Slings


For a straight pull with no horizontal angle, the rated capacity for KimFlex slings is provided by the following formula:

Where: CSBL = Calculated Sling Breaking Load of KimFlex sling

WLL = CSBL Safety Factor

Minimum D/d at the eye = 0.75

2.3 WLL For Cable Laid Slings (Hand Spliced)


For a straight pull with no horizontal angle, the rated capacity for cable laid slings is provided by the following formula:
Where: CSBL = Calculated Sling Breaking Load according to IMCA M179 and PM 20 CSBL = CRBL x 0.75 for hand spliced slings CRBL = Calculated Rope Breaking Load IMCA M179 and PM20 recommend a minimum safety factor of 2.25 Minimum D/d at the eye = 1.0

WLL = CSBL Safety Factor

2.4 WLL For KimLock Cable Laid Slings (Resin Socketed)


For a straight pull with no horizontal angle, the Rated Capacity for KIMLOCK cable laid slings is provide by the following formula:

Where: CSBL = Calculated Sling Breaking Load according to PM 20 CSBL = CRBL x 1.00 for resin socketed slings CRBL = Calculated Rope Breaking Load

WLL = CSBL Safety Factor

and PM20 recommend a minimum IMCA M179 safety factor of 2.25


Minimum D/d at the eye = 1.0

19 KTL Offshore Pte Ltd

3. The Effect Of Bending And Sling Angle On Sling Strength


When a wire rope is bent or deflected around an object such as the bow or pin of a shackle or trunnion, a loss in strength occurs. This loss is measured by the bending efficiency (EB) and is calculated from the following formula provided in IMCA M179 as well as PM 20: E B = 1 0.5 D/d

Where: D = Minimum bend diameter d = Sling body diameter

Similarly, when the sling is used where the horizontal angle (called the sling angle) o is less than 90 , the load in the sling will increase. This increase must be factored into the WLL calculation.

3.1 Bending Effect On KimSwage Slings


KimSwage slings use a single wire rope with a Flemish eye splice using a steel ferrule as the termination. According to the manufacturers of the steel ferrules used by KTL Offshore Crosby and Wiropthe termination efficiency, ET = 0.90. When using a basket hitch at a D/d ratio of 25 or more, EB = ET = 0.90. Therefore no de-rating of the WLL is required as KTL Offshore has already computed the termination efficiency into the original sling MBL. However, when the D/d ratio is below 25, the bending efficiency will cause the sling strength to reduce below that predicted by the original rating. In this case, the WLL should be de-rated according to the following equation:

WLL =

MBL Safety Factor

x Number of legs x Sin A x E B

Where: MBL = Minimum Breaking Load of KimSwage sling Sin A = Minimum horizontal sling angle in degrees EB = Bend efficiency according to IMCA M179 and PM20

When considering the eyes of the KimSwage sling at the lifting point, each eye will comprise two legs. This means that the eye has twice the strength of the body. When D/d = 1.0 (where EB = 0.5), there is no need to de-rate the sling. However, at D/d values below 1.0, the sling must be de-rated but it is good practice not to use a bending ratio less than this at the eyes to avoid crushing damage on the sling. It is important to note that under no circumstances should the sling be used or allowed to come into contact with a D/d of 0.5 or less.

3.2 Bending Effect On KimFlex Slings


KimFlex slings use a 9-part body construction with Flemish eye splices and multiple steel ferrules to form the termination. Although ET = 0.90 for the Flemish eye, our product development testing program has demonstrated that when formed into a KimFlex sling arrangement, ET = 1.0. Therefore, the effects of bending are immediate and the sling must be de-rated when using a basket hitch regardless of the D/d used.

20 KTL Offshore Pte Ltd

When using a basket hitch all KimFlex slings should be de-rated according to the following calculation:

WLL =

CSBL Safety Factor

x Number of legs x Sin A x E B

Where: CSBL = Calculated Sling Breaking Load of KimFlex sling Sin A = Minimum horizontal sling angle in degrees EB = Bend efficiency according to IMCA M179 and PM20

When considering the eyes of the KimFlex sling at the lifting point, each eye is comprised of 12-parts of wire rope laid in parallel. Because of this arrangement, at D/d = 0.75 or greater, there is no need to de-rate the sling. However, at D/d values below 0.75, the sling must be de-rated but it is good practice not to use a bending ratio less than this at the eyes to avoid crushing damage on the sling. It is important to note that under no circumstances should the sling be used or allowed to come into contact with a D/d of 0.5 or less.

3.3 Bending Effect On Cable Laid Slings Hand Spliced


Hand spliced cable laid slings use a 7-part body construction with hand splicing to form the termination. According to IMCA M179 and PM 20, for hand spliced cable laid slings ET = 0.75. IMCA M179 and PM 20 stipulate the following guidelines when considering the effects of bending on cable laid slings: For hand spliced slings only, when using a basket hitch at a D/d ratio of 4 EB = ET = 0.75 therefore no de-rating of the WLL is required as the termination efficiency of 0.75 has already been factored into the original sling CSBL. EB and ET are not additive therefore whichever one causes the greater loss in strength is used to calculate the sling strength. As the D/d ratio drops to below 4 the bending efficiency EB is less than the termination efficiency ET and the WLL should be de-rated according to the following equation: WLL =
Where: CRBL = Calculated Rope Breaking Load according to IMCA M179 and PM 20 Sin A = Minimum horizontal sling angle in degrees EB = Bend efficiency according to IMCA M179 and PM20 For hand spliced slings where D/d is equal to or greater than 4, replace EB with ET = 0.75 IMCA M179 and PM20 recommend a minimum safety factor of 2.25

CRBL x Number of legs x Sin A x E B Safety Factor

For resin socketed slings, EB is used regardless of D/d

For resin socketed cable laid slings, since ET = 1.0 the effects of bending are immediate and the sling must be de-rated using the equation above regardless of the D/d used. When considering the eyes of the cable laid sling at the lifting point, each eye will comprise two legs. This means that the eye has twice the strength of the body. When D/d = 1.0 (where EB = 0.5), there is no need to de-rate the sling. However, at D/d values below 1.0, the sling must be de-rated but it is good practice not to use a D/d less than 1.0 at the eyes to avoid crushing damage on the sling. Both IMCA M179 and PM 20 stipulate that under no circumstances should the cable laid sling be used or allowed to come into contact with a D/d of 0.5 or less.
21 KTL Offshore Pte Ltd

3.4 Bending Effect On KimLock Cable Laid Slings Resin Socketed


KIMLOCK cable laid slings use a 7-part body construction with either hand splicing or a resin socket to form the termination. According to PM 20 for resin socketed slings ET = 1.0. IMCA M179 and PM 20 stipulate the following guidelines for considering the effects of bending on cable laid slings: For resin socketed cable laid slings, since ET = 1.0 the effects of bending are immediate and the sling must be de-rated using the below equation regardless of the D/d used. WLL =
Where: CSBL = Calculated Rope Breaking Load according to IMCA M179 and PM 20 Sin A = Minimum horizontal sling angle in degrees EB = Bend efficiency according to IMCA M179 and PM20 For KIMLOCK resin socketed slings EB is used regardless of D/d IMCA M179 and PM20 recommend a minimum safety factor of 2.25

CSBL x Number of legs x Sin A x E B Safety Factor

When considering the eyes of the KIMLOCK cable laid sling at the lifting point, each eye is comprised of two legs therefore providing twice the strength as the body of the sling. Thus at a D/d = 1.0 where EB = 0.5, there is no need to de-rate the sling. At values below 1.0, the sling must be de-rated but it is good practice not to use a D/d less than 1.0 at the eyes to avoid crushing damage on the sling. IMCA M179 and PM 20 both stipulate that under no circumstances should the cable laid sling be used with a D/d of 0.5 or less.

4. Sling Rotation And The Use Of Swivels


When any type of steel wire rope sling is loaded, torque will develop in the sling body. This build up of torque may cause the sling and the load being lifted to rotate under certain circumstances. KimFlex slings have the best resistance to rotation because they are manufactured in a braided manner. The braided construction affords some inherent resistance to rotation, although these slings are not to be considered as non-rotating. Independent testing by KTL Offshore has demonstrated that it is possible to use KimFlex slings with a swivel to relieve some of the torque build up in the sling construction. However, the WLL of the sling should be reduced to take into account the effects of twisting of the sling body on the strength of the sling. The following twist data may be used as a guide for KimFlex slings:

Twist Data For KimFlex Slings*


Recommendation/Guideline
Load at which Swivel may First Rotate

Data
3% to 5% of CSBL

Reduction in WLL Required when using a Swivel

20%

*The above data applies only to KimFlex slings manufactured by KTL Offshore and tested using a Crosby swivel. Braided slings and swivels made by other manufacturers have different manufacturing parameters and design characteristics which may result in different twist behaviour.

Cable laid and KimSwage slings are made in either a left hand or right hand direction of lay and have no inherent resistance to rotation. As the sling is loaded, the wire rope will turn in the opposite direction of lay and may eventually cause twist. CABLE LAID (hand spliced and KIMLOCK) and KIMSWAGE slings should not be used with a swivel as this may cause the sling to unlay leading to catastrophic failure.

5. Slings And The Use Of A Crush Buster


KTL Offshore has developed the unique Crush Buster device. The Crush Buster has the ability to absorb a certain amount of crushing energy that is generated at the contact point between the sling and connection when a load is lifted. Crush Busters (left) are recommended for all KimFlex slings used for basket hitch lifts. In addition, KTL Offshore supplies all KimFlex grommets as standard with a Crush Buster at each end. Independent testing and verification by ABS Consulting has proven the effectiveness of the Crush Buster device in reducing the effects of crushing on the sling/grommet body. Crush Busters are not available for cable laid slings or grommets. The 3-ply wire rope seizing is recommended for these products.

Application InformationHeavy Lift Grommets


1. Which Heavy Lift Grommet Is Suitable?
As for slings, the answer to this question depends on several factors like the type of lifting project or simply user preference. We recommend the flexible KimFlex range and the robust cable laid range. While each grommet type has certain advantages over the other, both can be used safely for almost any lift. The Ultra Short grommet is designed specifically for situations where the lifting height is restricted. The table below provides a guide for the optimum grommet selection.

*6x36 refers to the ANSI/API 9A/ISO 10425 Classification for wire rope constructions. Strength-to-mass ratio is the CGBL divided by the total mass of a 20 metre long grommet.

2. The Effect Of Bending And Horizontal Angle On Grommet Strength


Since the strength of a grommet is calculated according to the body in double part, the effects of bending must considered regardless of the D/d (unlike for slings where the eye has more strength than the body and hence is able to connect at a very low D/d ratio without a reduction in WLL). IMCA M179 and PM 20 describe the effects of bending on the grommet strength. After thorough evaluation through our own product development program, KTL Offshore recommends that these guidelines are followed for both KimFlex and cable laid grommets. For grommets, if the horizontal angle (sling angle) is less than 90, the load in the grommet will be increased and must be factored into the WLL calculation.

24 KTL Offshore Pte Ltd

2.1 Bending Effect On KimFlex And Cable Laid Grommets


According to IMCA M179 and PM20, the effect of bending must be factored into the WLL calculation for all cable laid grommets. In addition KTL Offshore applies this rule to KimFlex grommets as well. The following equation is used to determine the WLL for both types of grommets:

WLL =

CGBL x E B Safety Factor

Where: CGBL = Calculated Grommet Breaking Load EB = Bend efficiency according to IMCA M179 and PM20 IMCA M179 and PM20 recommend a minimum safety factor of 2.25 for cable laid grommets

When the horizontal angle is less than 90 , the following formula should be used to determine the WLL:

WLL =

CGBL Safety Factor

x Sin A x E B

Where: CGBL = Calculated Grommet Breaking Load EB = Bend efficiency according to IMCA M179 and PM20 Sin A = Minimum horizontal sling angle in degrees IMCA M179 and PM20 recommend a minimum safety factor of 2.25 for cable laid grommets

2.2 Bending Effect On Ultra Short Grommets


Ultra short grommets are designed and rated based on a minimum D/d ratio of 5:1. For smaller D/d ratios, use the following formula to estimate the WLL:

WLL =

CGBL x E B Safety Factor

Where EB = 1 0.5 8.D/d

IMCA M179/PM20 and ASME B30.9 provide a guideline for the inspection, examination and discard of cable laid and braided slings and grommets. KTL Offshore recommends that the guidelines detailed in this section be used. An inspection is defined as a visual check carried out by a competent person, either independent or representing the sling or grommet owner. A thorough examination is defined as being more detailed than an inspection and is carried out by a competent person independent of the owner of the sling. It is recommended that: an inspection is carried out prior to each use.

a thorough examination is carried out at least once every six months if the sling or grommet is in use. a thorough examination is carried out before putting the sling or grommet into long term storage. a thorough examination is carried out if the sling or grommet has been in storage for more than six months and will be put
to use.

Discard Criteria
Wire rope is a complex piece of machinery and therefore no precise rules can be provided as to when a sling or grommet should be replaced. There are many variables and all should be considered. ASME B30.9-2003 specifies that a wire rope should be replaced if any of the following conditions are present. 1. Broken Wires: the table below lists the number of broken wires that signals discard for the sling or grommet:

Remove when the following Number of Broken Wires is Observed Sling/Grommet Type Per Lay
Cable Laid (hand spliced and KIMLOCK) BraidedLess than 8-part braid Braided8-part braid or more (Applies to KIMFLEX range) Single Part Sling (Applies to KIMSWAGE range) 20 10 randomly distributed or 5 in one strand

Per Braid*
20 40 -

*One braid is one complete twist of the sling or grommet body.

2. Metal loss: wearing or scraping of one-third the original diameter of the outside individual wires. 3. Distortion: kinking, crushing, birdcaging or other damage that distorts the rope structure. Check for wires or strands that are pushed out of their original position in the rope. 4. Heat damage: any metallic discolouration, fused wires or loss of internal lubricant caused by exposure to heat. 5. Damaged end attachments: cracked, bent or broken end fittings. 6. Corrosion: severe corrosion of the rope or end attachments which has caused pitting or binding of wires. Light surface rust does not substantially affect the sling or grommet strength. 7. Pulled eye splices: any evidence that the eye splices have slipped, tucked strands have moved or pressed sleeves have serious damage. For cable laid slings, the tail splices should be at least 3 times the sling diameter in length. 8. Unbalance: a very common cause of damage is the kink caused by pulling through a loop or even by using in basket hitch around an object too small for the sling or grommet body (low D/d). The presence of a kink will make the sling or grommet unbalanced and reduce the strength.

Application InformationHeavy Lift Shackles


Consider The Effects Of Bending
As discussed under the Heavy Lift Slings and Grommets section, the bending effect on slings and grommets can have a significant effect on strength. Very often the connection point between the sling or grommet and the shackle represents the minimum-bending diameter to be considered in the D/d equation. The bending diameter of the shackle is usually situated at the bowunless the pin is used to connect the sling, in which case the pin diameter becomes the minimum bend diameter. It is recommended to connect the slings or grommet to the bow of the shackle and use the pin to connect to the structure being lifted. In this way, the full advantage of the larger bow diameter in raising the D/d ratio between sling and shackle can be gained. Wide body shackles have much larger bow diameters and hence provide higher D/d ratios and greater bending efficiency.

Connecting Shackles Together


Connecting two Crosby shackles either bow-to-bow or bow-to-pin is entirely acceptable. Two Crosby shackles of the same size and type can be fitted together in a bow-tobow arrangement. Connecting two Crosby shackles pin-to-pin is acceptable as long as the load can be balanced.

Balance The Load


Crosby shackles symmetrically loaded with two leg slings having a maximum included angle of 120 can be utilised to full Working Load Limit. Never exceed a 120 included angle for any shackle application. The load should always be balanced to prevent tilting. Use spacers around the bearing point on the shackle pin to stabilise the load if necessary.

Point Loading
Crosby shackles may be point loaded at the bows. At the pins, point loading is also acceptable but Crosby recommends an 80% spread over the pin as best practice.
39 KTL Offshore Pte Ltd

Side Loading
Side loading of Crosby shackles is allowed, although the WLL must be reduced according to the following table:

Side Loading Reduction Chart (from Crosby Catalogue) For Screw Pin and Bolt Type Shackles Only Angle of Side Load from Vertical In-line of shackle
0 In-line 45 from In-line 90 from In-line
0 0 0

Adjusted Working Load Limit


100% of rated Working Load Limit 70% of rated Working Load Limit 50% of rated Working Load Limit

For other brands of shackles, side loading may not always be recommended - please check their latest product brochures for more information.

Complete Equipment
The shackle comes complete as a tested assembly consisting of the shackle bow, bolt (pin), nut and cotter pin. The cotter pin acts as a safety pin to prevent the nut from disengaging should the load cause the pin to rotate. The cotter pin should always be present during use of the shackle. Although Crosby Wide Body shackles have serialised identification numbers on the bows and pins, it is not necessary for the number on the bow and pin to match each other on any individual shackle.

Fairleaders, Horizontal And Vertical Sheaves


Fairleaders can be supplied in the standard double sheave swivel head design, or as a single sheave swivel head type. The single sheave type has the advantage of increasing the D/d ratio between the sheave and wire rope, thereby resulting in significantly improved wire rope life while the double sheave arrangement provides a back up in case one of the sheaves should become unusable.

(Left) McKissick single sheave fairleaders and (below) horizontal sheaves for 3 diameter anchor lines supplied by KTL Offshore (in 2007) to one of the largest derrick barges in the world DB 101. Precision engineered and custom made!

KTL Offshore has supplied vertical and horizontal sheaves for many offshore vessels where quality is of paramount importance. For offshore pipelay operations, tapered roller bearings are strongly recommended for use in both the sheaves and barrel. For underwater use, special seals and selflubrication bushings can be installed. McKissick (part of the Crosby Group) engineering is respected and trusted throughout the world brought to you by KTL Offshore.

Spelter Sockets
Spelter sockets have a 100% efficiency when resin socketed therefore the full strength of the wire rope is achieved. KTL Offshore uses sockets from Crosby (USA) and Ropeblock (Holland). For pennants, either closed spelter sockets are used or the more compact and lighter G-517 M-Line/ Short Bow socket (Pee Wee or Gold Nose type).

The M-Line/Short Bow sockets have the additional advantage of a streamlined shape they slide easier over the tailboard or roller (no hang-ups) and they wind easier on the drum as compared to the closed spelter socket.

Synthetic Slings and Grommets (HMPE)


High Strength, Light Weight, Easy and Safe Inspection
In todays fast moving world, the cost of rigging set-up time is expensive. Traditionally dominated by steel wire rope, slings comprise the backbone of the lifting accessories in use in almost all lifting operations around the world. With the introduction of high performance synthetic rope made from HMPE (High Modulus PolyEthylene) fibers the rigging environment is changing. As one of the worlds premium heavy lift riggging manufacturers, KTL Offshore has combined forces with the worlds foremsot HMPE rope manufacturer Cortland Puget Sound Rope.

KimPlasma And Puget Sound Rope (PSR) Synthetic Rope Solutions The Benefits In Lifting
The use of KTL Offshores KimPlasma synthetic rope slings and grommets holds many advantages and during lifting when compared to using steel wire rope: wire rope

Reduced weight - removes self-weight penalty of steel Crane capacity not limited by weight of rigging. Installation and rigging set-up times drastically Retains 100% strength in sea water Easily inspected, externally and internally Easily repaired and spliced in the field High fatigue and abrasion resistance

KimPlasma slings can be used to synthetic round slings in almost any application. The advantages of the KimPlasma range as compared to round slings either polyester or HMPE round slings are as follows:

FULL INSPECTABILITY Every strand of every inch of the KimPlasma sling is visible and therefore inspectable there are no hidden components. Highest resistance Abrasion Nylon or Polyester cover tears easily a cause for immediate discard or thorough inspection. Nylon or Polyester cover prevents visual inspection of the core of the sling a dangerous condition during repeat lifting.

Plasma rope strands have been heat treated (recrystallized) and have a polyurethane coating that gives a tough, abrasion resistant surface finish the toughest available. Easy Re-Splicing The KimPlasma hand splicing can be done in the field re-splicing of damaged sections will ensure longevity of the sling. High Strength-to Weight KimPlasma slings and grommets have the highest strength-tomass ratio of any sling on the market. Low Elongation KimPlasma slings and grommets have elongation properties at WLL of around 1-2%, equivalent to steel wire rope. Solid Cross Section KimPlasma slings and grommets have a simple 12 strand cross section comprised of relatively large diameter strands no small strands that break easily. The construction is also easy to open up by hand, facilitating inspection.

Round slings cannot be repaired in the field and once damaged, cannot be re-used. There is no resplicing- a costly investment.

Polyester slings have high elongation (10-15%).

Round slings are made up of multiple, small strands this is inherently subject to rapid fatigue and mechanical damage.

KimPlasma slings are safer and more economical to use than round slings!

KimPlasma Eye-and-Eye Slings


The KimPlasma Eye-and-Eye sling is spliced by using a standard tucked hand splice. The splice is positively locking and will not slip under any circumstances. This splice does not require any tools and can be done in the field by suitably trained personnel. Protection at the eye is provided by a Nylon cover, which is easily removable and replaceable.

General Engineering Slings, Grommets and Shackles


Used For Everyday Lifting, General Engineering Slings, Grommets And Shackles Are Usually Supplied With A Standard Rated Lifting Capacity

Turnback Eye Slings (Aluminium Swaged)


With sizes up to 4 (102mm) in diameter, our turnback eyes slings, which feature swaged aluminium ferrules, are an economical choice for general lifting. Our aluminium ferrules conform to EN13411-3, while our slings are manufactured according to the ASME B30.3. In addition, we are able to produce slings according to the standard you require. When considering the slings load bearing capacity or minimum breaking load (MBL), the termination efficiency (TE) is of vital importance. Several rigging manufacturers conveniently omit this in the technical specification when quoting their products. Not only is this reckless, it is also dangerous as the actual sling MBL will be overstated. At KTL Offshore, we set our TE at 0.90, which is in compliance with EN13411-3 for aluminium swaged slings.

Flemish Eye Slings (Steel Swaged)


KTL Offshores range of Flemish eye slings come in a wide range of sizes: from as small as 12 (12mm) to 6 (152mm) in diameter. Our slings conform to ASME B30.3 ensuring we have one of the highest industry manufacturing standards. At KTL Offshore we use only the best steel ferrules for general engineering slings - Crosbys National Steel Cold Tuff Swaging Sleeve S-505. According to Crosbys rigorous quality standards - proven through decades of testing and certifying - the S-505 has the following TE factors according to wire rope size: Wire Rope Diameter (mm)

Accessories
Slings without thimble inserts are called soft eye slings. To protect the wire rope at the eye, it is recommended to use a steel thimble. Such slings are known as hard eye slings. There are several types of hard eye sling configurations possible.

Advantages Of Flemish Eye VS Turnback Slings


Flemish eye slings are established as the required standard for offshore lifting due to the following inherent advantages over turnback eye slings using steel or aluminium ferrules:

The interlocking strands in the Flemish eye provide backup lifting capacity if The
ferrule should fail for any reason. fatigue life of swaged S-505 steel ferrule, together with the interlocking strands, is much greater than the turnback eye slings. This means they have longer usable life and there is less chance for sudden failure.

KIMFLEX grommets in general conform to ASME B30.9:2003.

Cable Laid Grommets


Cable laid grommets have a 6 over 1 construction in two parts where the outer component wire rope is laid up over the core component rope. The core is butted and tucked. This area is marked with red paint and the grommet should never be lifted at this point. The core is disregarded in the strength calculation as it is only butted. These grommets offer excellent strength, crushing resistance and durability.

Strand Laid Hand Tucked Grommets


Strand laid hand tucked grommets are made from one continuous length of strand. To manufacture a very smooth, circular grommet, the sleeves are omitted when making the joint. The core of the grommet does not contribute towards the CGBL. Therefore, it must be disregarded in the strength calculation. These grommets offer excellent strength, crushing resistance and durability.

DF = Design (Safety) Factor. This may change according to the customers requirement. WLL in VERTICAL is based on a vertical pull (90 degrees) with both parts (legs) of the grommet considered with a D/d of at least 5:1. For lower D/d ratios, the effects of bending on the grommet strength must be considered and may be estimated by applying the formula: E B = 1-0.5/(D/d).

Strand Laid Mechanical Splice (Al-Swaged) Grommets


Strand laid mechanical splice grommets are made from a single length of steel wire rope joined mechanically by swaging one or more aluminium ferrules to connect the two ends of the grommet. These grommets are not as smooth as the strand laid hand tucked type but do offer the advantage of a clear indication of the splice area. They offer ease of use and are regularly utilised in shipyards.

DF = Design (Safety) Factor. This may change according to the customers requirement. WLL in VERTICAL is based on a vertical pull (90 degrees) with both parts (legs) of the grommet considered with a D/d of at least 5:1. For lower D/d ratios, the effects of bending on the grommet strength must be considered and may be estimated by applying the formula: E B = 1-0.5/(D/d). Strand laid mechanical spliced grommets conform to WRTBs Wire Rope Sling Users Manual: Third Edition.

Being one of the worlds largest Crosby dealers places KTL Offshore in a position to offer the widest range of shackles available in the market. Crosby is our premium brand of shackles and our recommended choice for any application.

Why Buy Crosby?


Consider the following value added features provided by the Crosby brand: 1. Made in the USA Absolutely no genuine Crosby product is made in China. Majority of the products are made in the USA, while some smaller shackles are manufactured in Crosbys facilities in the European and Canadian markets. 2. Charpy impact properties Shackles have enhanced impact properties for greater toughness at all temperatures. 3. Reduced brittleness Bows and pins are quenched and tempered to reduce brittleness. 4. QUIC-CHECK All shackles (except G-2160) incorporate two marking indicators forged into the shackle bow at 45 angles from vertical. These allow the approximate angle of a two-legged hitch to be checked quickly. 5. Material analysis Crosby can provide certified material (mill) analysis for each production lot, that is traceable by the product. 6. Product Identification Code (PIC) Crosby verifies the analysis of each heat of steel and every shackle is traceable back to the steel making process. 7. Fatigue testing 1/3t to 55t shackles are fatigue tested to meet the Euronorm standard of 20,000 cycles at 1.5x WLL.

8. Field inspection Written instructions for visual, magnaflux, and dye penetrant inspection of shackles are available from Crosby and KTL Offshore. In addition, acceptance criteria and repair procedures for shackles are available.

Application InformationShackles
Crosby Range Of General Lifting Shackles
Round pin shackles can be used in tie down, towing, suspension or lifting applications where the load is strictly applied in-line. No side loading is allowed. Screw pin shackles can be used for applications involving side-loading circumstances. Reduced Working Load Limits are required for side-loading applications. While in service, do not allow the screw pin to be rotated by a live line, such as a choker application. Bolt-type shackles are recommended for permanent or long term installations and where the load may slide on the shackle pin, causing the pin to rotate.

D-shaped shackles are used mainly for single leg slings whereas anchor shackles are used on multiple leg slings.

QUICK-CHECK Markings
All Crosby shackles, except for G-2160, incorporate markings forged into the product at 45 from vertical. These allow a quick check on the approximate angle of a two-legged hitch or the angle of a single leg hitch when the shackle pin is secured. And the pull of the load is off vertical or side loaded, thus requiring a reduction in the working load limit of the shackle.

Application InformationROV Hooks and Shackles


Pre-Rigging for Remote Operation of Latch Pad eyes are provided on either side of the L320R eye hook and L562A shank hook as cable guides. The cable is passed through a hole drilled in the latch to a remotely operated cable to open the latch easily. Cables and drilled latches are not provided by Crosby but KTL Offshore will fit stainless steel cables and drilled latches upon request. Crosby allows the user to modify the latch as required to accomplish the task. Using the QUIC-CHECK Indicators The L320R eye hook utilises Crosbys S320N style hook while the L562A Shank hook makes use of the S319N style hook. Both hooks incorporate the following indicators: Deformation indicators: Two strategically placed marks one just below the shank and another on the hookallow for a QUIC-CHECK measurement to determine if the throat opening has changed. This prevents the abusing and overloading of the equipment. A measuring device (such as a tape measure) should be used to determine the distance between the marks. The marks should align to either an inch or a half-inch increment. If the alignment is larger than an inch, the hook should be inspected for possible damage. If the throat opening has increased beyond the mentioned distance, the hook should be discarded. If the tip of the hook is bent out of plane by more than 10 degrees from the body, the hook should be discarded. Angle indicators: two marks on the bottom of the hook indicate the maximum included angle allowed between two sling legs in the hook. Welding and Alterations Since all Crosby ROV hooks and shackles are Quenched and Tempered after the welding process is complete, no inservice welding or alteration of the hook body, eye or hook is permitted. Doing so will severely reduce the strength of the component and may result in catastrophic failure. Fluorescent Colour The ROV hooks and shackles are painted with RAL101 (chosen by the North Sea subsea operators) to increase underwater visibility. Do note that this paint does not protect the equipment from corrosion. The ROV shackles are galvanised under the paint for corrosion protection (up to 17t WLL). For larger sizes, the shackles are provided in a galvanized finish.

Synthetic Ropes for Offshore construction


High Performance Synthetic Rope (HMPE)
Plasma The Worlds Strongest Synthetic Rope!
Plasma the highest strength-to-mass-ratio of any rope available, this 12 strand or 12x12 strand constructions offers equivalent strength to a wire rope of the same size. Elongation is similar to wire rope. The patented 12x12 construction is easily repaired in the field by replacing any damaged strands and the Plasma rope is probably the easiest rope to splice on-site. A Polyurethane coating increases abrasion resistance while the rope is UV stabilized and creep properties are negligible at working loads. Made from Honeywells Spectra fiber and heat treated using PSRs recrystallization process. Elongation 4-5% at breaking load for a new rope (2-3% for a worked rope). Critical temperature 65 Deg C (150 Deg F) Torque free construction. Coefficient of friction 0.09-0.12. Specific gravity 0.98 (floats). The formulation can be altered to change the specific gravity to make the rope sink if required (specify at time of order with the factory). Applications: - Winch lines. - Tugger winch lines. - Pick up and messenger lines. - Heavy lift slings where the highest strength-to-mass ratio and torque free properties are required.

Spectra - High Strength with Added Elongation!


Spectra a slightly lower strength than the Plasma rope, Spectra has the same outstanding abrasion, UV and creep resistant properties. The rope construction is the same 12 or 12x12 strand as the Plasma. Spectra will be selected if more elasticity is required, as the elongation properties are slightly higher than those of the Plasma rope. Elongation 6-8% at breaking load for a new rope (3-4% for a worked rope). Critical temperature 65 Deg C (150 Deg F). Torque free construction. Coefficient of friction 0.09-0.12. Specific gravity 0.98 (floats). Applications: - Winch lines. - Single/Split drum winch primary mooring lines. - Tugger winch lines. - Pick up and messenger lines. - Heavy lift slings where the higher elongation and elasticity is required.
81 KTL Offshore Pte Ltd

Jacketed, High Strength HMPE Rope


High strength ropes using either Plasma or Spectra rope as the core, encased in a protective jacket increases the abrasion resistance of the rope while maintaining the high strengths offered by HMPE fibers. The outer jacket is tightly woven but has a looser fit over the core rope than a regular double braided rope and does not contribute to the strength. This creates the distinct advantage of not having to retire the rope if cuts and abrasion damage occurs to the jacket.

G/T Composite Double Braid this is a Plasma rope encased in a tightly braided jacket of Spectra to offer the highest abrasion resistance and durability. They are suitable where a very high strength, firm, round and torque-free rope is required. Elongation 4-5% at breaking load for a new rope (2-3% for a worked rope). Critical temperature 65 Deg C (150 Deg F). Torque-free construction. Coefficient of friction 0.12 0.15. Specific gravity 0.98 (floats). Applications: - Heavy duty winch line where the most rugged duty is expected. - Single/Split drum winch primary mooring lines.

D/T Composite Double Braid this is a Plasma rope encased in a tightly braided jacket of polyester. The polyester does not have the abrasion resistance of the Spectra jacket but does offer a softer feel to the rope. Elongation 4-5% at breaking load for a new rope (2-3% for a worked rope). Critical temperature 65 Deg C (150 Deg F). Torque-free construction. Coefficient of friction 0.12 0.15. Specific gravity 0.98 (floats). Applications: - Heavy duty winch lines. - Single/Split drum winch primary mooring lines.

D/S Composite Double Braid this is a Spectra rope encased in a tightly braided jacket of polyester which gives the feel and handling of a polyester double braid rope. This rope will give a much higher strength than the polyester double braid due to the Spectra core while still providing the protection of an outer jacket. Elongation 4-5% at breaking load for a new rope (2-3% for a worked rope). Critical temperature 65 Deg C (150 Deg F). Torque-free construction. Coefficient of friction 0.12 0.15. Specific gravity 1.20 (sinks) Applications: - Heavy duty winch lines. - Single/Split drum winch primary mooring lines.

Effects of Temperature on Strength


The graph on the right demonstrates the effects of increasing temperature on the Spectra fibers (not the rope). This graph does not show the effect on the rope, which would be expected to be less severe than indicated due to the insulating effect the outer strands will have on the inner strands. However, this graph may be used as an approximation as to the effects of temperature on the rope strength of Plasma.

Note: All MBL values shown include provision of a 0.90 splicing efficiency. When spliced using a standard synthetic rope splicing method, no further de-rating of the rope MBL is required. For use in basket hitch, the full strength will be attained at a D/d = 3.0 or higher. MBL and SWL figures provided above are in accordance with the Cordage Institute CI-1500-02 (May 2006) from the USA which reports the strength as spliced strength. According to BS EN ISO 2307:2010, theses figures can be increased by 10% as the splicing efficiency is not factored in to the rated strength using this European standard.

Standard Synthetic Rope

Composite, Polypropylene And Nylon Rope

KTL Offshore Value Added: Composite Ropes offer several advantages over Polypropylene ropes:

Higher

Greater abrasion resistance Superior Ultra Violet Improved

strength therefore a lighter and smaller diameter rope can be used (U.V.) resistance which leads to longer life fatigue life and ability to withstand the harsh offshore environment

KTL Offshore Offers The Following 8-Strand Plaited Composite Ropes From Lanex (Made In Europe):
TITAN one of the strongest ropes available on the market! Titan is an advanced, plaited 8-strand rope with one of the highest tensile strengths available on the market. Due to the polyester filaments on the surface of the rope, it has excellent abrasion resistance. Titan ropes are suitable for the harshest offshore environments. Does not float on water.

CRUISER Excellent strength-to-mass ratio! Cruiser has a very high strength as compared to polypropylene ropes and superior abrasion resistance properties. It is highly U.V. stabilized leading to long life in the offshore environment. Very good selection as a replacement for PP ropes to reduce weight, size and overall cost. Floats on water.

All LANEX ropes are supplied with soft eyes with canvas protection at both ends, 6-tuck splicing, colour tracers and Germanischer Lloyds (GL) or Lloyds Register (LR) certification.

89 KTL Offshore Pte Ltd

KTL Offshore Stocks A Huge Range Of Nylon And Polypropylene Ropes From The Korean Manufactures Such As DSR, Dong Yang And Manho.
100% Nylon Ropes Excellent Shock absorbing ability! Nylon ropes have very high strength and have excellent shock absorbing properties due to their high elasticity. Nylon also has good abrasion resistance and is not damaged by oil and most chemicals. U.V. stability is good. Nylon ropes do not float in water.

Polypropylene (PP) Ropes All purpose synthetic rope! Polypropylene ropes are very light in weight and therefore float on water and are popular in the industry due to their low cost. They have excellent resistance to most chemicals but are affected by sunlight (poor U.V. resistance and it is best to store them out of direct sunlight).

KTL Offshore stocks Superdan (DSR), Mega PP (Dong Yang) and Hi-Man (Manho) polypropylene ropes.

All Nylon and PP ropes are supplied with soft eyes with canvas protection at both ends, 6-tuck splicing, colour tracers and Lloyds Register (LR) certification.

Typical Application:

Mooring and towing lines, messenger and pick-up lines. For Anchor Handling Vessel use in demanding conditions. Composite ropes offer a higher performance option than PP or Nylon ropes due to their superior abrasion, chemical resistance and fatigue properties. Titan ropes offer the best heavy duty performance followed by Cruiser

Underwater Blocks
Depend On KTL Offshore For Advice On Underwater Blocks With Special Features
Offshore construction frequently requires the use of hook blocks, construction blocks and snatch blocks below the waterline. The equipment used must be adapted for underwater longevity to ensure cost-effectiveness. Special seals, lubrication channels, bushing material and surface coatings are just some of the features that are imperative.

KTL Offshore supplies underwater blocks in virtually any standard block configuration and WLL.

Roll Forged Sheaves


McKissicks Roll Forged Sheaves Set The Industry Standard
Roll forged sheaves offer the following advantages over fabricated or cast sheaves: Closed die upset and roll forgednot split Die upsetting and roll forging forms grooves and flange walls in multiple steps. This eliminates the need to split and weaken the groove. This exclusive forging process adds extra strength to the critical groove section. Solid steelnot cast Every McKissick sheave starts as a single piece of solid carbon steel plate. Solid steel gives better balance and distribution of forces in a McKissick roll forged sheave. It is flame-cut from closely checked stock to prevent inherent web/rim flaws found in cast sheaves. Conversely, casting can result in groove wall variations, causing uneven stress and premature failure. Full range of standard sheave sizes McKissick roll forged sheaves are available in a full range of sizes from 12- to 72-inch. Flame hardened groove The McKissick sheave groove is flame hardened to a minimum of 35 Rockwell C for a 140 degree contact area with the wire rope.

Wire Rope Lubrication


High Pressure Lubrication System With Specialised Lubricants
KTL Offshore uses the most advanced high pressure lubrication system available in the market together with the best lubricants. Crosbys Vitalife 400 is specifically designed for pressure applications and use in an offshore environment. Vitalife 400 has low viscosity. It behaves more like oil rather than thick grease to ensure maximum penetration to the core of the wire rope. The pressure lubrication system uses air pressure to force water present within the rope construction out before introducing lubrication into the rope. We also have other lubricants available such as Centigard 300, another marine specific wire rope lubricant.

Our pressure lubrication system is designed to accommodate wire rope diameters of up to 5 (127mm).
