Measuring Wire Rope
To provide the necessary length tolerances specified by our customers, our measuring techniques include:
- Measuring strand and rope under prescribed tension using a calibrated, certified and tensioned steel tape
- Use of predetermined reference marks and a fixed gauge for accurate socket positioning
With these measuring practices, tolerances of +/-1/8” can be maintained for most assembly lengths. More stringent tolerances can be furnished upon request.
