ASTM A1023 8x36 Steel Core High Flexibility Crane Rope

The ASTM A 1023 classification 8x36 steel core is a high-quality steel wire rope with specific construction details. It typically consists of 8 strands, with each strand having 29 to 57 wires. The outer strands number 8, and the outer wires per strand range from 12 to 18, with 3 to 4 layers of wire. Excluding the steel core, the number of wires in the rope is between 232 and 456.

In terms of size and performance, it comes in various nominal rope diameters. For example, diameters can range from 6 (in mm) with a reference weight of 0.161 kg/m and a minimum breaking force that varies depending on the strength grade (such as 22.7 KN for IPS 1770 grade) to larger sizes like 48 (in mm) with a weight of 10.276 kg/m and a significant minimum breaking force. It's important to note that for final galvanized rope, the minimum breaking force is 10% lower than the listed values. This steel core wire rope is suitable for applications where strength and durability are crucial requirements.
