A major deteriorating force for the fishing rope is the corrosion factor in the marine environment. Larger outer wire diameter, superior quality of galvanization, and application of high quality of lubricant to check corrosion considerably, together extend rope life of Marine Fishing Ropes. The fiber coated ropes widely popular in the industry due to multiple benefits to the users from fiber coating. It should be considered the required strength with the convenient safety factor.
Standard wire rope consist of the next three basic components:
• Steel wire
• Strands
• Core
To manufacture wire ropes for specific purposes and characteristics, these three components vary in both complexity and configuration.
STEEL WIRE : The fundamental raw material in the wire rope manufactures is steel wire. The manufacturers are produces both bright and galvanized wire ropes, in below different grades.
• Plow Steel (PS)
• Improved Plow Steel (IPS)
• Extra Improved Plow Steel (EIP)
• Extra Extra Improved Plow Steel (EEIP)
STRAND : The strand is a component of wire rope usually consisting of an assembly of wires of appropriate dimensions laid helical in one or more layers around a central element. The several arrangements in geometrical placement and number of wires forming the strand is known as “construction”, and so we can differentiate the multiple kinds of steel wire rope by its construction.
CORE : The core is the central element, of fiber or steel, around which are laid helical the outer strands of a wire rope. The core provides proper support for the strands
under normal bending and loading conditions.
