At CML SARL, we supply, manufacture and sell wire ropes for marine, lifting, industrial, construction and cargo-handling applications. Wire rope selection is an important part of any lifting, rigging or industrial operation. The rope construction, core, diameter and grade must be carefully selected according to the application and required working conditions. Among the widely used constructions is the 6×19 family of line-contacted wire ropes, available with different strand and core configurations. The reference supplied by CML includes several 6×19 constructions, including: 6×19 S + FC 6×19 S + IWRC 6×19 W + FC 6×19 W + IWRC These constructions provide different combinations of flexibility, strength, stability and resistance to operational stresses. What Does 6×19 Mean? The designation 6×19 generally indicates a wire rope made with: 6 strands Approximately 19 wires per strand The exact strand pattern can vary depending on the construction, which is why two ropes both identified within the 6×19 family can have different characteristics. The image supplied for this article illustrates the different cross-sectional constructions. 6×19 S + FC The 6×19 S + FC construction combines a 6×19 strand arrangement with a Fibre Core (FC). The fibre core can provide flexibility and elasticity, making this type suitable for applications where the rope undergoes repeated bending. Potential applications include: General lifting Rigging Winches Hoisting Marine applications Gener...
