API SPEC 9A Document Information:
Title
Specification for Wire Rope
American Petroleum Institute
Publication Date:
Feb 1, 2004
Scope:
This International Standard specifies the minimum requirements and
terms of acceptance for the
manufacture and testing of steel wire ropes not exceeding rope grade
2160 for the petroleum and
natural gas industries.
Typical applications include tubing lines, rod hanger lines, sand
lines, cable-tool drilling and
clean out lines, cable tool casing lines, rotary drilling lines, winch
lines, horse head pumping
unit lines, torpedo lines, mast-raising lines, guideline tensioner
lines, riser tensioner lines,
mooring and anchor lines. Ropes for lifting slings and cranes, and
wire for well-measuring and
strand for well-servicing, are also included.
The minimum breaking forces for the more common sizes, grades and
constructions of stranded rope
are given in tables. However, this International Standard does not
restrict itself to the classes
covered by those tables. Other types, such as ropes with compacted
strands and compacted (swaged)
ropes, may also conform with its requirements. The minimum breaking
force values for these ropes
are provided by the manufacturer.
For information only, other tables present the minimum breaking forces
for large diameter stranded
and spiral ropes (i.e. spiral strand and locked coil), while
approximate nominal length masses for
the more common stranded rope constructions and large diameter
stranded and spiral ropes are also
given.
