Wire rope diameter and tolerances
What is the correct method for measuring wire diameter?
Before installation, it is essential to verify the diameter of the rope. Measure a straight section of the rope, ensuring that at least two sections with a minimum distance of one meter between them are measured. At each point, take two measurements with a 90-degree displacement relative to each other. The average of these measurements should align with the tolerance values provided in the tables below.
