wire rope
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the 3 components of wire rope | wire strand core |
| Friction between the wires and strands will restrict load distribution if the rope is not properly | lubricated |
| what are the 2 limiting factors that can affect the versatility of wire rope | grades of steel and the way wires are assembled into strands |
| elevators often use wire rope made from....steel | Traction |
| outer wires are alternately larger and smaller in the Seals wire strand arrangement | false |
| As the number of wires per strand increases the resistance to bending fatigue... | increases |
| As the number of wires per strand increases the resistance to wear... | decreases |
| Not all wire rope in each classification will have the same number of wires per strand but the number of strands will remain constant | true |
| What is the most commonly used classification of wire rope in rigging applications | 6 x 19 standard hoisting |
| Why is 6 x 37 air rope susceptible to wear than 6 x 7 or 6 x 19 wire rope | smaller wire diameter |
| When wires in the strand are laid in one direction while the strands in the rope are laid in the opposite direction it's called.. | Regular lay |
| The outer surface of 8 x 19 air rope is smoother because it has more strands | True |
| Preformed wire is rarely use in wire ropes | False |
| Under a load the strands of regular lay wire will twist in one direction while the wires in the strands twist in the opposite direction | true |
| The maximum amount of load that should be placed on a wire rope during normal service is called the.... | work low limit |
| Working within the working load limits will protect air roe from friction inaccuracies in load weights and shock loads | True |
| Straightening out kinks prevents permenant damage to wire ropes | False |
| The diameter of are rope is reduced by stretching,external wear,corrosion, twisting, flattening, and inner wire failure | true |
