Our range of Marine Wire Rope specification and pictures
Wire Ropes are made with either fiber core or steel wire core.
1) Fiber Core (FC)
This center is made of either natural fibers or polypropylene and offers greater elasticity than the independent Wire Rope Core.
2) Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC)
This center is usually composed of a separate 7×7 wire rope designated as IWRC. The steel core increases the strength by 7% and the weight by 10%. These steels cores provide more substantial support than fiber cores to the outer strands during the rope’s operating life. Steel centers resist crushing are more resistant to heat and increase the strength of the rope.
