They give excellent service with sheaves and drums of moderate size. Rope diameter minimum breaking strength safe load safety factor 12 weight in mm lb f kn lb f kn lb m ft kg m 3 16. 3 8 inch 7 x 19 galvanized cable property value breaking strength. Although their operating properties vary all have the same weight per foot and the same minimum breaking force size for size.

6x36 classification ropes are more flexible but less abrasion resistant than the 6x19 classification. Please note this is to be used as a rough guide only. They have also offered an example of the strength of 3 8 wire rope that has a safe working load of 10 9 kn. 14 400 lbs working load limit 5 1 design factor.
