Compacted Wire Ropes

K identifies compaction in this designation; WS identifies the strand pattern and IWRC the core. Plastic impregnation is a separate design feature and must not be assumed from K alone.

The uncompacted or unspecified 8×26 family does not automatically meet this compacted WS/IWRC request.

Confirm the full designation and whether a cushion-core or plasticated version is required. Use the section drawing and manufacturer model when comparing offers.

The 35×7 compacted family combines a multistrand design with compaction. Its rotation behaviour must be checked for the exact manufacturer model; the catalogue heading does not promise zero rotation.

Compaction is a separate feature. A conventional 35×7 offering is not automatically an acceptable replacement for a 35×K7 requirement.

Include the manufacturer model, reeving information and any swivel requirement. A P or plasticated suffix must be identified separately if required.

The short 4×K36WS heading leaves the centre arrangement unspecified. DSR POWERACT 4 documentation identifies its own compacted 36-wire version with a fibre-core arrangement. That product detail must not be transferred to every brand.

The compacted WS construction and the 39-wire fibre-core pattern are different designs. A four-strand count alone is not evidence of equivalence.

Specify the exact model, core and strand arrangement. Include the equipment documentation and required rotation performance before comparing another four-strand rope.

The K qualifier distinguishes the compacted form from conventional 6×36 WS/IWRC. Compaction and the independent core must both be included when identifying the offered rope.

The conventional card does not guarantee compacted strands. Approval of a change requires the offered model and equipment requirements.

Compare the full compacted construction, grade and certificate. Do not infer a rotation-resistant classification from the fact that the outer strands are compacted.

Fi identifies filler-wire intent and K identifies compaction in the requested designation. Those qualifiers should be carried through the enquiry without replacing them with a general six-strand product name.

Both requests use filler-wire terminology, but the wire count and compaction requirement differ. Neither designation establishes equal performance.

Provide the original manufacturer drawing or model code for this exact designation. Confirm compaction, filler arrangement and core before agreeing any alternative.

IWRC — independent wire rope core. Include the requested core on the order; its identification does not establish the rope grade.

K compacted; WS Warrington-Seale. Confirm the full designation and whether a cushion-core or plasticated version is required. Use the section drawing and manufacturer model when comparing offers.

Obtain written acceptance of the proposed alternative. The uncompacted or unspecified 8×26 family does not automatically meet this compacted WS/IWRC request.

8×K26WS IWRC alone does not establish diameter, grade, finish, lay, breaking force, reel length or current availability. Add those requirements to the enquiry.

The card identifies a construction enquiry. Send the equipment model and its rope requirements so the exact 8×K26WS IWRC offer can be checked with the manufacturer.

Yes. A strand section and complete designation help distinguish 8×K26WS IWRC from 8×26 and from abbreviated catalogue descriptions.

Our team compares the customer requirement with the manufacturer information and identifies the offered design in the quotation. Confirm the full designation and whether a cushion-core or plasticated version is required. Use the section drawing and manufacturer model when comparing offers.

Enter the required nominal diameter and units for 8×K26WS IWRC; attach the equipment specification if it also sets a tolerance.

Exact centre/core to match manufacturer model. Include the requested core on the order; its identification does not establish the rope grade.

Compacted 35×7 family. Include the manufacturer model, reeving information and any swivel requirement. A P or plasticated suffix must be identified separately if required.
