Along the coast of Douala, Kribi and Limbe, unprotected steel corrodes fast. Reliable **galvanized wire rope steel supply in Cameroon** therefore protects your investment and your safety. CML SARL stocks galvanized ropes in the most common constructions and diameters. Understanding wire rope construction is the first step to buying correctly. This guide explains the constructions most often requested from CML SARL and where each one performs best. ### Reading a wire rope designation A designation such as **6x36WS-IWRC 1960 B sZ** contains: the number of strands (6), the approximate number of wires per strand (36), the strand pattern (WS = Warrington-Seale), the core (IWRC = independent wire rope core), the tensile grade (1960 N/mm2), the coating (B = galvanized, U = bright) and the lay direction and type (sZ = right regular lay). ### The main constructions compared | Construction | Main characteristics | Typical uses | | --- | --- | --- | | 6x19 class (6x19S, 6x19W, 6x25F) | Fewer, larger wires: good abrasion resistance, moderate flexibility | Winches, haulage, slings, general purpose | | 6x36 class (6x36WS, 6x31WS, 6x41WS) | More, finer wires: high flexibility, good fatigue life | Cranes, hoists, slings, mooring | | 35x7 / 35(W)xK7 | Multi-layer rotation-resistant, high strength | Tower cranes, mobile cranes with single fall | | 18x7 / 19x7 | Rotation-resistant, medium performance | Hoists, small cranes | | 8-strand compacted | Smooth surface, high breaking load, crush ...
