4 Materials
The fibre used in the core of the rope shall be high-tenacity HMPE, with an average tenacity of not less than 2,5 N/tex, and qualified and tested in accordance with Annex A.
Rope cover material and other materials employed in rope assembly shall be in accordance with
ISO 18692-1.
5 Requirements — Rope properties
5.1 Minimum breaking strength
The minimum breaking strength of the rope, when tested according to ISO 18692-1, shall conform to Table 1.
5.2 Minimum core tenacity
The minimum tenacity of the rope core shall be 1,3 N/tex, measured according to IS0 18692-1.
AIll samples tested shall comply with this minimum value.
5.3 Creep properties
The rope creep properties shall be at least as declared by the manufacturer, when tested following the
method in Annex B.
5.4 Torque properties
Torque-neutral rope or torqu-matched rope shall be defined according to ISO 18692-1.
5.5 Cyclic loading performance
The rope shall have demonstrated performance under cycling loading following the requirements of ISO 18692-1.
5.6 Particle ingress protection
Unless otherwise specified, the rope shall be constructed with a protection of the core against the ingress of particles in accordance with ISO 18692-1.
6 Requirements 一Rope layout and construction
Rope layout and construction shall be in accordance with ISO 18692-1.
7 Rope testing
7.1 Type test
7.1.1 General
Type tests shall be performed in accordance with ISO 18692-1 and the specific requirements of this clause.
7.1.2 Sampling
The number of rope samples to be tested is given in Table 2.
7.1.3 Breaking strength tests, core tenacity, and stiffness tests
The number of samples from Tabk2 shall be tested, and each sample shall be capable of meeting the requirements of 5J. and of2.
NOTE The measurements of the dynamic stillness at end of bedding-in — and, when required, those of the quasi-static stiffness and the dynamic stiffness at several mean load level — are performed for design purposes only. There arc no acceptance criteria on these parameters.
7.1.4 Creep properties test
One sample shall be tested for creep properties in accordance with the test method in Annex B.
This test needs not be performed where data are available from the previous qualification test of another rope (or a sub-rope of it) with the same design, material and method of manufacture of rope core, and a size not less than reference number 71.
7.1.5 Linear density test
The linear density shall be calculated from the measured weight and length according to the method defined in ISO 18692-1:2018, Annex B.
7.1.6 Cyclic loading endurance test
The cyclic loading endurance test shall be performed according to the procedure specified in
ISO 18692-1.
The residual strength of the rope shall be not less than 80 % of the MBS.
7.1.7 Protective cover thickness
The thickness of the protective cover shall be verified. See ISO 18692-1:2018, 7.1.7.ISO 18692-3 pdf download.
