FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized
by the Wire Ropes and Wire Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Mechanical Engineering
Division Council.
This standard was originally published in 1966 and revised in 1977.
In the first revision, the following changes were made:
a)
The

Designation of various construction of wire ropes have modified in line with IS 6594:2001 Technical
supply conditions for steel wire ropes and strands (second revision).
6 x 26 SW, 6 x 31SW and 6 x 36SW constructions have been included under one group in this standard,
considering the market demand.
Provision for use of sofi fibre (jute) core is also included.
Mass and breaking force given in various tables have been modified as per the revised mass factor (K)
and breaking force factor (K) given in IS 6594.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS 2:1960 Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised). The number of significant places retained in the
rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
