Marine Wire Rope

Wire rope construction involves the arrangement of wires and layers within the rope. Different patterns are used to achieve specific characteristics and performance. Here are the descriptions of the wire rope construction patterns you mentioned:

• Single Layer: This pattern is the most common and consists of a single-wire center surrounded by six wires of the same diameter. It forms a 7-wire strand.

• Filler Wire: In this pattern, two layers of uniform-size wires are wrapped around a center. The inner layer has half the number of wires compared to the outer layer. Small filler wires are laid in the valleys of the inner layer, equal to the number of wires in the inner layer.

• Seale: The Seale pattern consists of two layers of wires around a center, with equal wire counts in each layer. All wires within a layer have the same diameter, and the larger outer wires rest in the valleys between the smaller inner wires.

• Warrington: In this pattern, two layers of wires are wrapped around a center. The inner layer consists of one diameter of wire, while the outer layer alternates between large and small diameters. The larger outer-layer wires rest in the valleys, while the smaller ones rest on the crowns of the inner layer.

• Combination: A combination strand is constructed by using a combination of two or more of the patterns mentioned above. This allows for customization and tailoring of the wire rope’s properties to specific requirements.
