How It Compares With The Alternatives
An honest read on where this pattern wins and where another one would serve you better.
| Alternative | Honest Trade Off |
|---|---|
| 6X36+FC | The 6X19+FC offers higher tensile strength and better fatigue resistance but less flexibility than 6X36+FC |
| IWRC | 6X19+FC has a fiber core which improves flexibility but reduces resistance to crushing compared to an independent wire rope core |
| Galvanized rope | The galvanized version offers better corrosion resistance but slightly reduced tensile strength due to coating |
| Stainless steel rope | Stainless steel provides superior corrosion resistance but is heavier and more expensive than carbon steel variants |
Use Guide
How To Use And Inspect Wire Rope 6X19+FC
- Select the rope grade and diameter based on the calculated working load and service conditions
- Ensure the working load limit stamped on the rope matches the required safe working load
- Inspect the rope before each use for kinks abrasions broken wires or core extrusion
- Avoid sharp bends or contact with rough edges that can cause localized wear
- Do not use the rope if the fiber core is visible or the rope shows signs of deformation
- Replace the rope if more than 10% of the wires are broken in any lay length
- Store the rope in a dry, covered area to prevent moisture and corrosion

Answers
Wire Rope 6X19+FC FAQ
What is the difference between 6X19+FC and 6X19+IWRC?
6X19+FC has a fiber core which improves flexibility and shock absorption but reduces resistance to crushing. 6X19+IWRC has a wire rope core which increases crush resistance but reduces flexibility.
Can I use this rope in marine environments?
Yes. Galvanized or stainless steel versions are available for marine and offshore use. The galvanized coating resists saltwater corrosion, and stainless steel offers superior resistance in aggressive environments.
What is the design factor for these ropes?
A standard 4:1 design factor is applied to all lifting applications unless otherwise specified. The minimum breaking load is four times the safe working load.
Do you provide Material Test Certificates?
Yes. A Material Test Certificate to EN 10204 3.1 is supplied with the order on request. Every batch is proof load tested and documented.
Can you cut the rope to custom lengths?
Yes. Custom lengths are available. The rope is cut to order and marked with the working load limit at the end.
What finishes are available?
Available in ungalvanized galvanized and stainless steel. The finish can be selected based on the operating environment and corrosion resistance needs.
How is the rope packed for export?
Standard packing is on wooden reels or in cartons on pallets. Custom carton and pallet configurations are available to suit your warehouse or shipping requirements. Goods can be held in our Qingdao warehouse free for two months for shipment consolidation.
