106
Q

What kind of wire rope LNS can be cut without seizing?

A

Preformed Wire Ropes

107
Q

What is the orientation of a Right Lay Regular Lay.

A

Number of wires twisted to the LEFT around a small core to form each of six or eight strands. These strands are then twisted to the RIGHT around the main core to form the final rope.

108
Q

What is the orientation of a Left Lay Regular Lay?

A

Wires are twisted to the RIGHT in the strands, and the strands are twisted to the LEFT to produce the rope.

109
Q

What is the orientation to wires in a Lang Lay?

A

Wires and strands are twisted in the same direction. Core design is the same as that of a regular lay.

110
Q

Is a kink in a wire rope permanent?

A

Yes

111
Q

A

135 - 150 degrees

112
Q

What do you do to the end of a cut wire rope before removing seizing?

A

Braze or weld the ends.

113
Q

How long are fibres in a fibre rope?

A

6 - 20 feet long

114
Q

How are right hand lay fibre ropes constructed?
