ISO 4345 Steel Wire Ropes - Fiber Cores

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 4345 testing. This International Standard specifies the construction and properties of fiber cores for steel wire ropes using two types of fibres:

• Natural;
• Human-made.

This international Standard does not apply to ropes for mine lifting purposes. The main core of a steel wire rope plays a crucial role in providing flexibility, cushioning and other specific properties to the rope. Combining steel strands with a fiber main core ensures the rope has enhanced performance properties for a variety of applications.

ISO 4345 covers the following:

• Construction: The standard specifies the construction of fiber core core steel wire ropes, including the arrangement and laying of steel wires and fibers in the core.
• Dimensions: It provides information about the allowable tolerances and dimensions of steel ropes and ensures that they meet the required specifications.
• Mechanical Properties: ISO 4345 summarizes the mechanical properties of fiber core steel wire ropes. This includes properties such as breaking force, elongation and modulus of elasticity.
• Testing and Verification: The standard also includes procedures for testing and verifying steel wire ropes' compliance with specified requirements.

ISO 4345 is designed to ensure the safety and reliability of fiber main core steel wire ropes used in a variety of industries and applications such as lifting and other load-bearing activities.
