Foreword
This Part of BS 302 has been prepared under the direction of the MechanicalHandling Standards Committee. It is one Part of a combined revision ofBS 302:1968, BS 236:1968, BS 329:1968, BS 330:1968, BS 365:1968 and
BS 3530:1968, which are withdrawn. BS 302 is now published in six Parts andtakes account of both national and international developments since 1968.
This Part (Part 1) specifies general requirements for all steel wire ropes coveredby this standard. The other Parts specify additional requirements for particularuses of ropes:
Part 2: Specification for ropes for general purposes;
Part 3: Specification for zinc coated ropes for ships;
Part 4: Specification for ropes for lifts;
Part 5: Specification for ropes for hauling purposes;
Part 6: Specification for ropes for mine hoisting.
Two further Parts are in preparation, covering larger diameter ropes (64 mm
to 205 mm diameter) and higher strength ropes and will be Parts 7 and 8respectively.
In line with the principles of international standard ISO 2408, published by theInternational Organization for Standardization (ISO), the constructions aregrouped according to the number of outer wires in the strands. The generalrequirements of BS 302-1 and the methods used for calculating breaking loadsand approximate masses are in accordance with ISO 2408. In respect ofindividual usages, the ropes in Parts 2 and 3 are fully in accordance withISO 2408 and those in section 2 of Part 4 are in accordance with ISO 4344. In eachof these parts however, certain additional ropes still in common use in the UKhave been included.
In line with current international practice, the term zinc coated has been
adopted in this standard in place of galvanized. The terms are synonymous.Purchasers ordering to BS 302 are advised to specify in their purchasing contractthat the manufacturer operate a quality system in compliance with theappropriate Part of BS 5750, or suitable equivalent, to ensure themselves thatproducts claimed to comply with BS 302 consistently achieve the required level ofquality.
Wire rope users will find valuable information in the companion publicationBS 6570 Code of practice for the selection, care and maintenance of steel wireropes.
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of acontract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunityfrom legal obligations.

2.12main core
the core of the rope around which the strands are
spun. A fibre core is designated FC2.13independent wire rope core (IWRC)
a main core which is itself a wire rope
2.14wire strand core (WSC)
a main core which is itself an independent wirestrand, normally of the same construction as theouter strands
2.15tensile grade (of wire)

7 Inspection and testing
7.1 Facilities for inspection
All tests and inspections shall be made beforedespatch.
NOTE 1 The rope manufacturer should ensure that such testsand inspections are made.
NOTE 2 When so specified by the purchaser on the enquiry andorder, the rope manufacturer should accord the purchaser or hisrepresentative all reasonable facilities to carry out tests in orderto ensure that the rope is in accordance with this standard.
Where the purchaser is not satisfied with the tests,the manufacturer is at liberty to have the ropestested in accordance with the provisions of thisstandard by an independent testing authorityagreed upon between the purchaser and the
manufacturer. If the results of such tests aresatisfactory, the ropes are deemed to comply withthis standard.
7.2 Test on rope for actual breaking load
A tensile test to destruction shall be carried out inaccordance with Appendix B on a test piece fromeach rope-making (production length).
The actual breaking load shall be not less than theminimum breaking load specified in the Parts ofBS 302 relating to the particular types of strandedsteel wire ropes and shall be recorded by themanufacturer.
NOTE 1 C.1 gives the method of calculation.
NOTE 2 Tests in which breakage occurs adjacent to the gripsmay be discarded at the option of the manufacturer.
7.3 Tests on wire from the rope
7.3.1 General. When tests on wires taken from thecompleted rope are specified by the purchaser in theenquiry and order, see Appendix F, the followingtests shall be carried out on all ropes in accordancewith Appendix E:
a) diameter measurement;
b) tensile tests;
c) torsion test;
d) when applicable, zinc coating weight test.
NOTE 1 In the case of ropes for mine hoisting (see BS 302-6) areverse bend test should be carried out in addition to tests a)to d). In the case of ropes for hauling purposes (see BS 302-5)a reverse bend test may be required in addition to tests a) to d).
Not more than one wire in a sample shall fail eachof the requirements in 7.3.2 to 7.3.6.NOTE 2 This requirement may be alternatively stated asshown in the adjunct to Table 10.
7.3.2 Wire diameter. The wire diameters shall bewithin the tolerances given in Table 3.

apart. At each point measure two diameters atright-angles.
Take the average of these measurements as theactual diameter.
NOTE In case of dispute the diameter may be measured undera force of 5 % of the minimum breaking load of the rope.
Appendix B Method of measuringactual breaking load
B.1 Apparatus
B.1.1 Tensile testing machine, having an accuracycomplying with grade 1.0 of BS 1610.
B.2 Test pieceTake a test piece that is representative of the ropeand of a length such that the minimum test length(distance between the grips) is in accordance withTable 8.
B.3 Procedure
Apply no more than four-fifths of the minimumbreaking force quickly and thereafter apply furtherforce slowly and steadily until the actual breakingload is attained. Record the value.

Appendix C Determination ofminimum breaking force and mass ofrope
C.1 Determination of minimum breaking force
The minimum breaking force. Fo, in kN, is
calculated using the following equation:
where
The values of are given in Table 9.
is the factor for fibre cored ropes; and
is the factor for steel cored ropes.
The minimum breaking load (MBL), in t, in thetables is calculated using the following equation:
MBL = F0 0.102
where
C.2 Determination of mass
The approximate rope mass per unit length of therope, M, in kg/100 m, is calculated using thefollowing formula:
M=Kd2
where
Values forKare given in Table 9. These values arefor fully lubricated ropes; ropes which are not fullylubricated may be lighter.

Appendix D Designation of theconstruction
A convention has been adopted nationally fordescribing various rope constructions,e.g. 6 36 (14/7 and 7/7/1)FC. This exampledescribes a rope having six strands and a fibre core,each strand comprising 36 wires with the outerlayer having 14 wires, the second layer seven largeand seven smaller wires, the inner layer sevenwires round one king wire.
The constructions are also known by name,e.g. Warrington-Seale. For a fuller explanation ofthe names see BS 6570.
Appendix E Method of testing wirestaken from the completed rope
E.1 Test pieces
Cut a suitable length from the rope and unlay it intoits component wires. Segregate the wires of eachnominal diameter excluding filler wires, king wires,wire of a triangular strand core and wire of a steelcore.
Take a random sample of test wires of each of thenominal diameters to be tested, the number of wiresin a sample being in accordance with Table 10.
Straighten each test piece in a manner thatminimizes surface damage and strain.
E.2 Test and retest procedureCarry out the tests in accordance with BS 2763.
