AS 3569 – 2010 Steel Wire Ropes – Product Specification

AS 3569 – 2010 Steel Wire Ropes – Product Specification specifies minimum requirements for the manufacture and testing of stranded steel wire ropes for general purposes, including lifting equipment such as cranes and hoists. Ropes for slings are also dealt with, and tables giving minimum breaking forces for the more common sizes, grades and constructions of stranded rope presented. It is applicable to single-layer, rotation-resistant and parallel-closed ropes made from wires of uncoated (bright), zinc-coated and zinc-alloy coated finish. Additional requirements may apply for specific applications including, but not limited to the following:(a) Mining purposes.(b) Aircraft control.(c) The petroleum and natural gas industries.(d) Aerial ropeways and funiculars.(e) Lifts.
