One minute to understand the wire rope markings:
So much information such as its characteristics, using purpose, and manufacturing standards have been contained inside the wire rope marking with letters & numbers and other details,
Here is an explanation of some common wire rope marking elements and their meanings:
- Wire ropeinner core type:
IWRC: Independent Wire Rope Core---- the center of the wire rope is composed of an independent wire rope core.
FC: indicates the Fiber Core------the center of the wire rope is composed of fiber materials, such as natural fibers or synthetic fibers.
- Wire rope diameter: Usually measured in millimeters or inches. The diameter determines the strength and carrying capacity of the wire rope. Use the appropriate & suitable diameter units according to the intended working region for easily understanding.
- Material grade: Letters or numbers indicate the material grade of the wire rope,different grades represent different material strength and properties. For example, the number "1770" might indicate that the minimum tensile strength of a wire rope is 1770 MPa.
- Private & Manufacturer's logo: To be different from others,the manufacturer's logo, trademark or code to identify the wire rope's manufacturing source & other necessary data. Not lots rule can be collected for instruction.

- SWL /BWLand others: Some marks may provide information about the safety working load / breaking working load of the wire rope, safety factor, intended working environment . Such information can help the user select the appropriate wire rope type and specification.
- Ask the professional resource for assistance : The specific content and format of wire rope marking may vary by manufacturer, country, and industry. In order to ensure proper understanding and use of the right wire ropes, it is recommended to refer to the technical specifications provided by the manufacturer, product manuals or consult professionals for accurate explanations and guidance.
