The above chat may apply for Engineered Lifts. Example (1) - What is the working load limit that may be handled with a 2 tegged bridle sling made of 22mm dia. 6 x 25 1770 IWRC, with an included angle of 90° between the sling legs? The Design Factor for General Service = 5 t0 1. (a) With luded angle of 90°, the load factor = .705; (b) List Breaking Strength of lope = ‘305KN or approximate mass equivalent less 5% deration for ferrule secured eye (305 + 9.81) x.95 = 29.5 tonnes and working load limit of each leg 28.5 + 5 = 5.9 tonnes. (6) Total Working Load on Sling = 2 x 5.9 x.705 = 8.3 tonnes. Example (2) - What dia. of 6 x 96 IWRC rope must be used in a Flemish Eye terminated 2 legged sling to handle 20 tonnes when the legs are spread at an angle ‘of 60° and the slings are subject to heavy duty? Design Factor for this duty = 6 to 1; (a) included angle = 60° and tho (b) load factor for this angle = 1.73. (c load in one leg of sling = 1/2 Total Load x Design Factor = (10 = .865) = 11.58 tonnes. (d) Calculated breaking load of Slings = load in leg x Design Factor = 69.3 tonnes (e) This would require 2 36mm dia, 6 x 36 1770 IWRC rope sling with 8.L. = 817KN (approx. Mass equivalent (817 + 9.81) x.95) = 79.1).SLINGS which Type Should Be Used 8.0 Frequency of Use — Life of Sling 3.1 This will depend on the number of times a sling is used and the manner in which the sling is used. 8.2 Chain slings provide longer life. 3.3 Superflex-braided slings do not KINK as do conventional wire rope slings. 3.4 Webbing slings have special value in some chemically hazardous applications. 40 Type of Load 4.1 Chain and conventional wire rope slings are the most appropriate for abrasive surfaces. \ 42 Where a positive choking arip is required braided Superflex slings, = Round slings, Fibre rope slings and Webbing slings are best. 43 Where marring ofitemsisa problem, Webbing slings, Roundslingsor Neoprene covered lat slings are most satisfactory 5.0 Cost Versus Efficiency 5.1 A conventionally stranded wire rope siing is the cheapest sling per tonne W.L.L. butafter Several uses ina choking application develops Kinks which makes it more difficult to handle. 5.2 For quick easy safe handling braided slings, Grade "T’ chain slings, round slings and webbing slings, although costing more, can save many dollars in time saving and cost of injury to the hands. 6.0 Length of Sling 6.1 Cost per metre is very relevant in long slings and wire rope will be more often selected in these circumstances, 7.1 Where slings are shackled to lifting points in a multi leg application wire rope and chain slings have the most appeal. Where choking of loads is required braided wire rope slings and webbing slings are generally the most efficient, though in special applications where abrasive surfaces are prevalent or in hauling logs Grade "T” or Grade “P” chain slings are much more suitable. 7.2 Ifshortening of sling legs is required in multi leg applications, Grade “T-ohain sings with thelr varity of ftings and shortening clutches . are best. 8.0 Environment 8.1 Ina corrosive situation steel swage sleeves should be used on wire rope slings. 82 Aluminium sleeves are not appropriate in some ‘water and alumina refineries, 8.3 Where acids and alkalis are prevalent webbing slings are beneficial Alloy Chain Slings will be affected by temperature above 200°C. Wire rope slings used near heat should have a steal core in the wire rope. ing areas. in sea 9.0 Available Storage for Slings 9.1 All slings are best stored vertically so their length and conditions can be readily inspected. There is also less chance of water or corrosion damage and mechanical damage through impact and/or kinking. The W.LL of each sling can also be reacily ascertained.SLINGS — WIRE ROPE IMPORTANT REQUIRMENTS OF AUSTRALIAN STANDARDS Tae working load limit or W.L.L. of a sling is expressed in terms of the maximum mass in kg or tonnes which may be lited by the eling in vertical suspension. ‘The W.LL. Is for genéral conditions of use as defined by M3 application in the SAA Crane AS1418, The value of the W.LLL. is calculated from the minimum breaking load in Klonevrtons of the wire rope, the efficiency rating ‘of the end termination of the sling, a design factor of § and acceleration due to gravity of 9.81 metres per second squared. ‘Single - leg sing. The W.LL. of a single - leg sling shall be that calculated by the expression - Wik. = _PxR 3x98t where WLLL. = Working load limit, in tonnes P.=Minimum breaking force of rope as specified for the rope in AS 3569, in kilonewtons R= Reduction factor, as follows: (@)_ For double - part slings and grommets, R= 1.5. (0) For forrulo- secured splices with a diameter of - (@$80mm, R= 0.95; and (i) >80mm, R= 0.9. : (c) For hand - spliced eyes in rope with a diameter of « = @ s20mm, R= 0.9; and (i) >20mm, R= 0.8, (6) For poured sockets and swéged terminal fittings on rope, R Where a sling hitched around a load, the working load limit is reduced by 25% for round loads held in choke hitch, and by ‘50% for rectangular loads held in either choke hitch or basket hitch. Working load limits for various configurations of single ~ leg, 2, 3, and 4 leg slings are tabulated. ‘All working load limits specified relate only to slings used for general purposes, and in some circumstances, e.g. where subjected to high dynamic loading, these will have to be reduced. itis also particularly important that the ropes are effectively protected from damage by sharp comers or projections around which they pass. Bonds of radi less than the diameter of the ope, exceat at the point of reeving when in choke hitch, can cause permanent damage to the rope and are therefore not to be used. ‘Where components are attached to slings to make up sling assemblies, the working load limit of each component is requirad to make up sling assemblies, the working toad limit of each component is required to be compatible with the working load limit ofthe sling assembly and with the manner in which the component is used in the assembly. Testing Requirements ‘All new standards, whether ISO (Internationa) or Australia, are increasingly calling forthe following range of tests: Prototype Destruction Tests, Production Batch Destruction Tests, Production Proof Tests ‘The Australian wire rope sing standard AS1686 Pt 1 1995 calls for the destruction tensile tests for each type and size of sling as a prototype. ‘The proot test required is equa to twice the mass equivalent ofthe working load limit ofthe sing, Manufacture Rope Termination ‘Sot eyes and thimble-reinforced eyes, when hand-spliced, shall be spliced in accordance with AS2759 Stee!

Care and use includes: Use (precautions and connecting onto a load) stofage Inspection and discard criteria. Both these standards are recognised in Occupational Health and Safety regulations. Tough and strong inside, smooth and soft outside. Round Slings are produced by spinning a tough, strong polyester filament into a continuous parallel loop, that’s then encased in a heavy duty thickness cover of smoothly woven polyester fabric. The parallel layering of the load bearing fibres, combined with the carefully designed outer casing size and weave structure, ensures safer, more secure lifting by allowing the core and casing to expand together. this helps to distribute the load evenly over a larger, flatter contact area, ‘Endless’ means even wear and no special fittings. ‘Since Round Slings are ‘endless’ loads can be done at any point along their endiess surface. Wear is distributed evenly along their entire length, ensuring a longer, useful life. And, if specified, the heavy duty woven polyester casing (impregnated with polyurethane) gives you added protection against wear and abrasion. Ask for Nobl-O-tech, g iN ‘The narrow diameter of the Round Slings means that they can be used on a wide range of attach- ment points simply by back loop- ing through the attachment point around the load, or directly on to the crane hook. With their smooth surfaces, the Round Stings slip easily and securely into place for fast, effective reeved its. CAUTION (1) Use protective sleeves whan lifting rough, sharp loads.

Or, if you're operating a mobile crane, your store of slings ‘can be carried in a tool box. What's more, with their very low stretch under load, of only 29% to 4%, Pound Slings are a great advantage where headroom. is restricted or when it's crucial to have a relatively bounce-free lit. Economical and useful Round Slings are not just strong, supple and dependably safe - they are also extremely cost competi- tive.
