The WR-500 Wire Rope, Model: 79653, is a stainless steel wire rope with a diameter of 1/16 inch and a length of 500 feet.
Here’s a summary of its key characteristics and information:
* Material: Stainless Steel (often 304 or 316 grade for corrosion resistance).
* Diameter: 1/16 inch.
* Length: 500 feet.
* Model Number: 79653.
* Typical Breaking Strength: For a 1/16 inch stainless steel wire rope, the breaking strength typically ranges from 360 lbs to 500 lbs, depending on the specific construction (e.g., 1×7, 7×7, 1×19, 7×19 strand configuration). For example, a 7×7 strand can have a breaking strength of around 480 lbs, while a 1×19 strand can reach 500 lbs.
* Applications: Stainless steel wire ropes are highly versatile due to their corrosion resistance and strength. They are commonly used in:
* Fire suppression systems (e.g., Ansul R-102, Pyro Chem Kitchen Knight II systems)
* Marine applications
* Architectural applications (e.g., cable railings)
* Hoists and winch cables
* HVAC suspension
* Pest control netting
* Fall arrest systems
* General purpose applications requiring durable, flexible, and corrosion-resistant cable.
