Striping
For assembly installation purposes, a longitudinal stripe is painted along the entire length of the strand or wire rope while it is under the prescribed measuring tension. Striping allows structural strand or wire rope assemblies to be installed in the proper orientation. If the stripe is straight after an assembly is erected, its length, when loaded to the measuring tension, will be the same as measured during fabrication.
