LANKHORST SNEEK: INNOVATION WITH TRADITION...

CORPORATE INFORMATION

The roots of Lankhorst reach back over 250

years. Established in 1751 as a ropery and
sailmaker’s loft in Sneek in The Netherlands,
the company became known as “Lankhorst”
after Nikolaas Jurgen Lankhorst took over the
company from his in-laws in 1803. During the
19th and 20th centuries, Lankhorst grew from
a local artisan business into a world-wide
supplier of rope and ships mooring lines. These
activities still form our core business -
Lankhorst Ropes is the largest company within
the Lankhorst group, and a world leading rope
manufacturer.

After several years of working within a

strategic alliance with the Portuguese rope
and netting producer, Grupo Euronete SGPSA,
Lankhorst and Grupo Euronete merged into
the Lankhorst Euronete Group. This group
holds a leading position in many international
markets. In addition to maritime and offshore
ropes Lankhorst is now the largest producer of
fish netting in the world, and one of Europe’s
market leaders in plastics recycling. Through
innovation and product development, we have
also built strong market positions in industrial
yarns, pure® composites products, and the
yachting and agriculture markets.

Today Lankhorst continues to lead through

World Class research and development into Maritime & Pure Engineered
Offshore Yarn Composites Fishing Products Yachting
high performance materials and products. This Rope Division Division Division Division Division Division

PREFACE TO THE NEW CATALOGUE

CORPORATE INFORMATION

New A3™ splice

STRONGLINE™ with our A3™ splice is being used allready in the market by several
tugboats performing harbor assistances for a longer period now. The response is
outright positive as the rope ending is lighter, remains flexible and most of all
requires hardly any maintenance.
Lankhorst is in the final stages of developing the A3™ splice for the
TIPTO®WINCHLINE. Although the TIPTO®WINCHLINE is mainly used for mooring of
vessels, the unique properties of the A3™ splice will benefit the ease of handling in
the same manner. Reducing the weight of the rope ending significantly, retaining
the ropes flexibility throughout the eye and the higher strength in this new splicing
concept, contribute to significant cost savings for the end user.
Lankhorst Ropes has been granted a patent for the A3™ splice at number 2003939,
14 June 2011.
Please contact our salesmen for further information, we will be happy to update you.

LANKO®TECH
A load bearing rope core made from Technora Aramid Yarns. These yarns have an
extremely high melting point, above 500°Celcius. Combined with the high strength
of these Technora yarns, this product has been designed to be used as “fire wires”. Like
anyone else, we wish these will never be used for its purpose, we have recognized that
at almost every mooring, these fire wires have to be hanged off the sea side of the ship.
Heavy steel wire ropes are difficult to handle, both for the crew that has to hang off these
ropes, as well as for the eventually rescue response people for picking up the wires.
The ropes are covered with a heavy duty polyester jacket; a durable protection against
sunlight and abrasion during the many years of storage and hanging off the ships side.

Improved identification of our ropes

The identification of our ropes has been approved. We have been applying an unique code to all
our high performance ropes on a tracer inside the rope for many years. However, this tracer is not
always easy to find in a rope that is still in good condition. We have therefore repeated the unique
code on a red sleeve in each eye. This code will also be mentioned on the factory certificates. In
this way, the ropes in use and the corresponding certificate on board should be undisputed. Our
factories commenced this system since the summer of 2009.
Since 2009 our synthetic ropes are supplied with an outside label with a warning about safe
lifting of the products.

Longitudinal marking on STRONGLINE™

When STRONGLINE™ is installed on a towing winch, twists in the rope induced
during installation could reduce the life time of the rope once put to work. It is crucial to
use a turning table for unwinding from a coil. To facilitate the installation with respect to
avoiding induced twists, a longitudinal marking has been made to the STRONGLINE™
from the factory. Please make sure the longitudinal marking line is always on the same
position while winding up the STRONGLINE™ on your towing winch.

Please see the video instruction on splicing our STRONGLINE™ on our website.

 High performance ropes LANKO®FORCE R-9

12 strand braided rope, made of Dyneema® yarns. This rope forms

an excellent alternative for heavy and lumbersome steelwire
LANKO®FORCE
ropes in situations requiring manual handling of the rope. The
strength is higher than that of conventional steelwire rope and
FIBRE ROPES

the corresponding weight is 7 times lower! The better handling

characteristics are especially appreciated in towing and mooring
applications. This rope is floating! When replacing fibre rope the
reduction in diameter can lead to substantial saving of weight and
size of e.g. the mooring winches, and when incorporated in the
design of the vessel at newbuilding to a saving of cost as well.

LANKHORST ROPES DEFENDER®

FIBRE ROPES

A High Performance Protection Sleeve for

permanent fixing on a hawser, towing line
or pennant. The braided strands offer a high
abrasion resistance. The sleeve is made in a
hollow braid, the sleeve can therefore easily be
adjusted to the circumferential size of the rope to
be protected. The DEFENDER® can be made from
different types of yarns, offering extra strength,
floatability and other characteristics. Please
consult our sales staff for the optimal product in
your application.

TIPTO®WEB HAWSER PROTECTION SLEEVES

Hawser protection sleeve, easy to apply where

and when you need it. The use of this protection
sleeve will drastically improve the life-time of any
of your mooring ropes. The TIPTO®WEB sleeve
can be easily wrapped around the hawser at the
exact spot where it is needed.

The TIPTO®WEB sleeves are finished with a

protective seam all around, two large Velcro
strips enable the sleeves to be applied easily and
to accommodate different diameters of hawser,
two eyelets, one on either side, enable the crew
to secure the sleeve in the right position on the
hawser. The standard length is 3 meter. [Link] Width Hawser

GROOVES IN SHEAVES

Apart from the sheave diameter, the lifetime of a rope also depends on the design and dimensions of the groove. If the
groove is too narrow, the rope gets wedged in it, the strands and wires cannot move as is required for bending, and this
condition is detrimental to the life time of the rope. On the other hand, too wide a groove also has an adverse effect on
rope life time due to the high surface pressure between rope and sheave.
INFORMATION

The adjacent graph clearly shows that a radius 5% larger than half the rope diameter will give the longest service life of
the rope. For traction sheaves the radius of the groove is usually adapted as closely as possible to the radius of the rope
to obtain maximum traction. The rope is supported in the best possible manner if the arc of contact with the groove
contour can be 150 deg. This corresponds to a throat angle of 30 degrees. However, with a large fleet angle or with
oscillating loads, the throat angle should be larger (till 60 degrees) to avoid undue wear of the rope and sheave flanges.

The height of the flanges should be at least 1,5 times the rope diameter to prevent the rope running off the sheave.

The rope and groove are inevitably subject to wear during operation. Since the diameter of a rope becomes smaller due
to abrasion and stretch, it will wear out the groove to the smaller diameter of the worn rope. If a new rope is laid in such a
worn groove, it will get wedged in the narrow groove and this will have a very adverse effect on its life. It is also possible
that the rope cuts its profile into the groove. Therefore the grooves should be inspected before installing a new rope and
if necessary they must be re-machined, preferably with a profile cutting tool. If a groove shows excessive wear, this may
be an indication that the sheave material is too soft. In this case a sheave of a harder grade steel must be used which
better resists the abrasive effect of the rope, or a larger diameter sheave should be taken.

 I-2

FLEET ANGLE

When ropes are wound on drums, attention must be paid to the fleet angle, that is the included angle between the rope
running to or from the extreme left or right of the drum and an imaginary line drawn from the centre of the sheave
normal to the axis of the drum. When this angle is too large, the rope in this extreme position will be pressed with great
force against the flange of the sheave which causes undue friction and wear of both the rope and travel too fast from the
INFORMATION

side to the centre of the drum thereby leaving gaps between the wraps. When winding a second layer, the rope is forced
into these gaps which results in serious deterioration. When, on the other hand, the rope is wound past the centre of the
drum, a too large fleet angle will cause the next wrap to scrub against the preceding wrap as the rope runs more towards
the side of the drum.

If the fleet angle is too small, the rope does not travel fast enough towards the centre of the drum and, apart from
scrubbing, at a certain moment the wraps will pile up i.e. the next wrap is laid on top of the preceding one and is then
pressed to the side of the preceding wrap with great force. This has a detrimental effect on the rope and the equipment
on which it is used (shock loads).

For plain faced drums a maximum fleet angle of 1½ degree is recommended. For grooved drums this figure is 2 degrees
maximum. In terms of length these figures correspond to a minimum distance between sheave and drum of 40 x ‘a’
(a= half the drum width) for faced drums and minimum 30 x ‘a’ for grooved drums (approximate values). Hence, for a
grooved drum, 1 metre in width, the distance between sheave and drum should be 30 x ‘a’ = 15 metres minimum, or
conversely, if the distance between drum and sheave is 7 metres, the maximum drum width should be (7:30) x 2 = approx.
47cm.

In case two sheaves are not in line,

attention must be paid to the fleet
angle. Depending on the construction a
maximum fleet angle is given:

- special non rotating (35x7) : 1½ degree

- special multi strand
(8,9 and 10 strands) : 2 degrees
- 6 strand rope : 3 degrees

These values are approximate and based

on a throat angle of 45 degrees.

INSTALLATION FROM REEL TO DRUM

Installation of a wire rope on a plain (smooth) face drum requires a great deal of care. The starting position should be
at the correct drum flange so that each wrap of the rope will wind tightly against the preceding wrap (see figure). Here
too, close supervision should be maintained all during installation. This will help make certain that:
1) the rope is properly attached to the drum;
INFORMATION

2) appropriate tension on the rope is maintained as it is wound to the drum;

3) each wrap is guided as close to the preceding wrap as possible, so that there are no gaps between turns;
4) and that there are at least two dead wraps on the drum when the rope is fully unwound during normal
operating cycles.
Loose and uneven winding on a plain – (smooth) – faced drum, can and usually does create excessive wear, crushing
and distortion of the rope. The results of such abuse are lower operating performance, and a reduction in the rope’s
effective strength. Also, for an operation that is sensitive in terms of moving and spotting a load, the operator will
encounter control difficulties as the rope will pile up, pull into the pile and fall from the pile to the drum surface. The
ensuing shock can break or otherwise damage the rope.

The proper direction of winding the first layer on a smooth drum can be determined by standing behind the drum
and looking along the path of the rope travels, and then following one of the procedures illustrated in next figure. The
diagrams show: the correct relationship that should be maintained between the direction of lay of the rope (right of
left), the direction of rotation of the drum (over wind or under wind), winding from left to right or right to left.
By holding the right or left hand with index finger extended, palm up or palm down, the proper procedure for
applying left and right lay rope on a smooth drum can be easily determined.

SPLICE INSTRUCTIONS FOR TIPTO®WINCHLINE

THE TOOLS YOU WILL NEED

Sharp knife, tape, marker pen and ruler (tape measure),
polyester seizing thread (hollow braid), 5 mm diameter for
ropes up to 5” circ., 6 mm dia for larger sizes, large needle.
INFORMATION

DESCRIPTION
This splice is made in a 7-strand rope with a cover-braided
jacket. The jacket has to be removed in two places.
Start with marking the rope. The first mark should be placed at
the end of the rope measuring back upwards for 45 times the
diameter, place a mark here. Then mark the length of the eye,
this part will stay on, and finally mark the splicing area,
which should cover a length of 35 times the diameter of the
rope.

Make sure the core is not damaged when removing the jacket.

Strip the jacket of the first marked area of the outer cover
(length approx. 45-times rope diameter) to expose the 7 strand
core. Tape each of the 7-strands to keep yarns together.
The part of the jacket covering the eye should remain in tacked.
Now strip the jacket of the splicing area (length approx. 35
times the rope diameter). Bend the rope to form the eye and
use tape or a whipping to keep the two rope parts
together at the start point of the splice.

Read more on I-7 about starting the splice.

Starting the splice of TIPTO®WINCHLINE

First strand tuck
For the first tuck use strand 1, being closed to the running part and which does not disturb
the rope construction. Tuck this strand under 3 strands (A,B,C) WITH the lay of the rope
(right hand lay).

Second strand tuck

INFORMATION

Use strand no. 2 and tuck this one under two strands (A and B) WITH the lay of the rope.

Third strand tuck

Strand no. 3 has to be tucked under strand (A) WITH the lay of the rope.
The core is now released.

Fourth strand tuck

Strand no. 4 together with the core is tucked under one strand (F) WITH the lay of the rope.

Fifth strand tuck

Strand no. 5 is tucked under the following strand of the rope (E), WITH the lay of the rope.

Sixth strand tuck

Strand no. 6 is tucked under the remaining strand (D) WITH the lay of the cable.

Second till eighth series of tucks

Every strand (starting with strand one) is tucked over one strand AGAINST the lay and
under two strands WITH the lay of the cable. The core is cut after the third tuck.

THE SPLICE IS NOW COMPLETE.

COVERING THE SPLICE

First start with securing the jacket to the core. Stitch a large needle with thread through
the jacket and core. The ends of the thread must be tucked back into the splice. Do this at
both ends of the formed eye as well as the start of the jacket after the splice. Ensure that at
least 3 full tucks are made.

Now cover the splicing area with a whipping. Sometimes it is easier to first cover the
splicing area with tape before starting with the whipping.

THE ROPE IS NOW READY FOR USE.

SPLICE INSTRUCTIONS 8 STRAND PLAITED ROPES

Determination of splice length

5 full braid length are required for the splice.
Form the eye and seize the end of the rope to the main body on the 6th full braid length.

Final preparation
INFORMATION

An 8 strand rope consists out of 4 left hand lay (S) and 4 right hand lay (Z) strands. Always
keep the left (S) and right hand lay (Z) strands apart (S) by (S) and (Z). Tape each individual
strand at the end in order to avoid untwisting. Then unlay the strands up to the point
where the eye is formed and where the seizing is placed.

Starting the splice

Tuck two S-lay strands under two Z-lay strands of the body of the splice;

Tuck the first Z-lay strand under the two preceding Z-lay strands of the body. Tuck the
second Z-lay strand only under the first Z-lay strand;

Tuck the third S-lay strand under the first S-lay strand of the body and tuck the 4th
S-lay strand under the next S-lay strand of the body;

The third Z-lay strand is tucked under the outer Z-lay strand of the body and the fourth
Z-lay strand is tucked under the inner Z-lay strand of the body;

We are back to the first two S-lay strands. Tuck the first S-lay strand under the
outer S-lay strand of the body and tuck the second S-lay strand under the inner S-lay
strand of the body.

All strands have now been tucked into the right position. Make sure that S-lay strands are
tucked under S-lay strands of the body and that Z-lay strands are tucked under the
Z-lay strands of the body;

Continue with tucking two S-lay strands under S-lay strands and two Z-lay strands under
Z-lay strands of the body;

Turn the rope and continue by tucking two S under S and two Z under Z;

Continue until all strands are tucked 5 times.

To finalise; tuck the first S-lay strand under first S-lay strand of the body and the second
S-lay strand under the second S-lay strand of the body.

Do the same with the first two Z-lay strands.

Turn the rope and repeat the steps with the remaining strands.

Seize the out sticking strands in pairs and cut of the over length.

RECOMMENDATIONS ON TOWING LINES

A few recommendations for the installation of synthetic towing

lines on a winch.

1 Sufficient turns on the drum. The load on the towing line

INFORMATION

should not be transferred to the fixing point of the dead end

of the rope on the drum. Depending the friction coefficient,
a minimum number of turns will be required on the drum.
For Lankoforce ropes (HMPE) the minimum is 10 full turns,
on Euroflex and Strongline (polyester based) a minimum of 6
2 should be respected.

Back tensioning. The first time the rope is being spooled

on the drum, this must be done with back tensioning on the
rope. A load of 5-10% of the MBF should be sufficient. This will
prevent slipping of the rope (due to elongation properties in
3 the rope) and it will prevent the rope to burry into lower layers
on the drum. (See picture 1)

Twist in the rope. Unwind the new coil of rope from a turn
table or from an elevated pallet connected to a crane wire with
a turnbuckle. The rope should be installed onto the winch drum
4
without any twists in the rope. Please note that 2 turns in 1
meter of NEW rope, will result in a loss of MBF of easily 10% on a
twelve strand rope and up to 25% in an eight strand rope.
(See picture 2+3)

Cow Hitch. Synthetic ropes can be connected to each other by

5
means of a ‘cow hitch’. Tie a small rope or a webbing sling into
the eyes to facilitate taking the cow hitch apart in a later stage.
In case of using a grommet the ABF will reduce. (See picture 4)

Smooth path for the ropes. Prepare the vessel in such way
6 that all the contact points with the rope are as smooth as
possible. Polished stainless steel plating is commonly applied.
Low friction will minimize the abrasion on the rope and will
reduce heat generation. (See picture 5)

Repairs on a jacket. Ropes with a non-load-bearing jacket

7 should be repaired once the jacket has been damaged.
Preferably with a thin line, that has good abrasion resistance
and that has good elongation properties (polyester / nylon).

ROPE INFORMATION

Weight, length and diameter are measured in accordance with EN 919. The breaking force of new, unused synthetic
ropes, both standard and high performance, are in accordance with EN 919. All data in this brochure is provided for
technical reference and guidance only, it does not constitute a guarantee. Lankhorst Ropes reserves the right to amend
details of their specification in line with technical developments. For calculation purposes customers should consult
INFORMATION

the salespeople of Lankhorst in-depth and up to date technical details.

It can be expected that the strength of the rope will decrease from the moment it is taken into service. At any time
avoid using ropes that show signs of wear and abrasion. If in doubt contact the salespeople of Lankhorst Ropes. We
recommend taking the rope out of usage until possible repairs have been made or the rope has been rejected.

Joints and knots can cause loss of strength, in extreme cases up to 50%. When ropes are running over pulleys or
sheaves, one also should take care of proper D/d ratios as well as grooves. If in doubt about any of the mentioned
actions, please contact our salespeople for details.

CONSTRUCTIONS
3 and 4 strand
3 and 4 strand hawser laid constructions are easy to splice and have an excellent abrasion resistance.

8 strand plaited
A 100% torque balanced rope due to the 4 left and 4 right hand lay constructed strands.
This construction does not kink, is easy to terminate and has a great abrasion resistance.

12 strand plaited
A 100% torque balanced rope due to the 6 left and 6 right hand lay constructed strands.
This construction does not kink, is easy to terminate and has a great abrasion resistance.

Cover braids
Cover braided constructions can be offered with a variety of cores. In most cases the jacket (cover) does not contribute
to the ropes strength. The non load bearing jacket provides a protection to the rope’s core, this being the strength
member. If the jacket is damaged, this does not automatically mean loss of strength. The larger sizes of cover braids
especially, will retain their breaking strength even if the jacket is completely abraded. Our cover braids offer maximum
strength at a minimal diameter and thus weight.

Extruded jackets
Extruded jackets can be provided upon request depending upon the application. However for certain application they
are provided as standard, like for instance our tower guys (HPTG). In order to provide a die-electric strength member
the rope core is surrounded by an abrasion and UV resistant, water proof jacket. Extruded jackets (PP,PE,PA,PUR)
normally provide a more abrasion resistant cover, but restrain the rope’s use due to less flexibility (higher stiffness).

Specialities
Many varieties on above constructions can be provided. Plaited cores with braided jackets as well as extruded jackets
can be supplied if the application demands a special design. Lankhorst Ropes is not only able to design a rope, but is
also able to engineer specialty terminations suited for your needs.

STEELWIRE ROPE INSPECTION AND RETIREMENT CRITERIA

Critical areas for examination and associated defects

1. Examine termination of rope at drum (c,g)

2. Examine for defective coiling, which causes deformations (flattened portions) and wear,
INFORMATION

which can be severe at cross over positions (g)

3. Examine for wire breaks (a,e)
4. Examine for corrosion (b)
5. Look for deformations caused by snatch loading (c,d)
6. Examine portion which winds over sheave for wire breaks and wear (a,e,f )
7. Points of attachment, check for wire break and corrosion. Similarly, check section of rope
which lies on or adjacent to compensating sheaves (a,b)
8. Look for deformation (c,d,e,f )
9. Check rope diameter (b,e)
10. Examine carefully length which runs through sheave block, particularly that length
which lies on the sheave when the appliance is in a loaded condition (a,f )
11. Examine for wire breaks or surface wear (a,e,f )
12. Examine for corrosion (b)

a) A wire rope that is repeatedly bended over sheaves will show fatigue breaks
in individual wires. The breaks are square and can be seen on the picture
alongside. This type of damage is related to items 2, 3, 6, 7, 10 and 11 in above
drawing.

CONSTRUCTION ORDINARY
In the table alongside one can see the number of broken wires over a
LAY
length of 6d at which the wire rope is discarded. See for detailed and
exact data ISO 4309. 6x19S 11

INFORMATION

When sheaves are too small and heavy loads are applied, the wire rope
could be heavily damaged.

Of most importance is to observe the rate of breaking of wires, a high rate

indicates the wire rope will have to be replaced soon.

b) Corrosion can be both internal and external. Reduction in diameter could

be compensated by build up of rust. It is of utmost importance
to examine the wire rope internally as well. Corrosion may result that the
shape of the wire rope is flattened because the core no longer
supports the outer strands. With severe corrosion, the wire rope should be
replaced (related to items 4,7,9 and 12 in drawing on page I-18).

c) Sharp objects (related to items 1, 2, 5, 8 in drawing on page I-18) can da-

mage the wire rope as shown. When the strands are damaged accordingly,
the wire rope needs to be replaced. This type of damage can be avoided
by adjusting proper bending radius.

Another effect of bending over a sharp angle.

 I-21

d) The core of a wire rope will be protruded when a shock load is applied
to the wire rope. The wire rope can no longer be used (related to items 5
and 8 in drawing on page I-18).
INFORMATION

e) Wear of the wire rope can be determined by measuring the diameter

(related to items 3, 6, 8, 9, 11 in drawing on page I-18).
When reduction in diameter by internal exceeds 3% for non rotating
wire ropes and 10% for other wire ropes, the wire rope shall be replaced.
Even if no broken wires are visible.

Wear is promoted by a lack of lubrication. Even if no broken wires are

visible, but the decrease in diameter exceeds 7%, the wire rope has to be
replaced.

f ) When the wire rope went over the edge of a sheave,it is applied to a
sharp bending (related to items 6, 8, 10, 11in drawing on page I-18). This
can be prooved when the individual wires are examined and ar either
broken as cup-cone breaks or shear breaks.

g) Drum crushing results in a flattened wire rope. This is caused when the
load applied to wind the wire rope is too high, the drum is too small or
when multiple layered winding (related to items 1 and 2 in drawing on
page I-18).

The guidelines above are intended to indicate possible cause of damage

and are not obsolete.

FIBRE ROPE INSPECTION AND RETIREMENT CRITERIA

INSPECTION OF CORDAGE
Before a length of rope is issued for use, the entire length, including eye splices and/or long splices should be inspected
by a competent person. This examination should be undertaken to check the following:

INTERNAL WEAR(DIRT AND GRIT)

INFORMATION

Where ropes have been used in a gritty environment, sharp grit may penetrate into their centre. It is important to open
the rope and examine between the strands to establish whether such damage is occurring. This examination must be
undertaken very carefully to prevent buckling and distortion of the strands which may itself cause trouble at a later date.
The presence of large quantities of fibre dust in the centre of the rope indicates that a replacement may be due. Oil and
grease deposits by themselves do not damage most rope materials. However they do trap dirt and grit and may make
the rope difficult or unpleasant to handle.

EXTERNAL WEAR
Some types of ropes will develop a fur or pile on their surface as the result of dragging over rough surfaces. This is
quite normal and will not cause weakening of the rope to any significant extent. Excessive wear is indicated by a major
proportion of the cross sections of the yarns on the outside of the rope being removed. Such wear usually is seen most
clearly on the strand crowns, on the inside of eye splices, in particular underneath a rope thimble, if incorporated.

MECHANICAL DAMAGE
Although most external abrasion is localized, mechanical damage will always weaken a rope. The weakening will depend
upon the severity of the damage. It must be remembered that mechanical damage, especially chafing, will always have a
more drastic effect on smaller ropes than on the larger ropes.

CUTS
Cuts require close examination to establish their depth, and hence how much of the rope’s cross section has been
damaged. For jacketed ropes where the jacket is not load baring(e.g. Tipto-Winchline), a cut that does not damage the
core will probably not affect the strength. However core deformation or herniation could occur on subsequent use if
the jacket is not repaired. Also, cuts to jackets may cause adverse effects such as handling difficulties, inability to slide
through fittings smoothly and exposing the core to grit.

FLEX FATIGUE – PULLEYS, ROLLERS, CHOCKS, FAIRLEADS

Constant bending of any type of rope causes internal and external fiber abrasion. This is frequently caused by running
over pulleys. But other types of flexing such as frequent bending over a small radius surface(chock/fairlead) can also
cause fatigue damage. Flexing over fixed surfaces is often accompanied by surface wear, especially if sliding action is also
present. Wear will appear on the surface of the contact area. The fibers will become matted on the surface and/or glazed
from heat build-up.

HOCKLE, TWIST OR CORKSCREW

If too much twist is introduced into a hawser laid rope it will tend to hockle(kink). Hockles that can not be turned
back easily to restore the ropes integrity indicate severe damage. The same applies for the opposite, corkscrews, when
restoring the rope back into its original structure is difficult or impossible the rope should be taken out of service. Braided
and plaited ropes should not display any twist and these ropes should not be used unless restored to normal appearance.

CHEMICAL ATTACK
Deterioration of cordage by chemicals is usually not the result of the rope having been contaminated by a chemical
foreseen by the user. That is to say, ropes, which are used in known chemical environments usually, are supplied in a
quality to offer the highest resistance to the conditions. Rather, frequently contamination occurs by accident from
chemicals whose presence was not foreseen.
010711

[Link]

The master of innovation in ropes

 I-23

SUNLIGHT DAMAGE
Ultra-violet radiation from sunlight can cause brittle, weak outer rope yarns in polyolefin lines and strength
deterioration in ropes from some other fibres.

THERMAL DAMAGE
Friction of synthetic fibre ropes under high tension while rendering around bitts and winches, or while going through
fairleads, can generate enough heat to melt or fuse fibres, yarns or strands together.
The examination should determine whether any areas of fusion or carbonisation are present. If in doubt discard the
rope.
INFORMATION

WETTING
Natural fibre ropes when wet or damp should not be left on the ground as in this way the germs of rot start. Also
particles of grit are picked up. Man-made fibre ropes although not affected by wet or damp are nevertheless liable to
damage by particles of grit. All wet ropes should be hung up in freely circulating air and allowed to dry naturally. If this
cannot be done the ropes should be loosely stacked on pieces of timber or any other suitable substance, clear of damp
ground or sweating concrete. Coils of new rope should be stacked in a similar manner. On no account should ropes be
dried by any form of heat.

MILDEW
Mildew does not attack man-made fibres although surface contamination may, under certain circumstances, provide a
nutrient, which permits the growth of moulds. Whilst these are unpleasant, they do not affect the strength of the rope.
They may be removed by washing in water. The use of harsh detergents should be avoided. Mildew will attack natural
fibre cordage if it is stored wet in stagnant air. The mould will live on the cellulose of the rope and in consequence a loss
of strength will inevitably occur.

ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION
Reaching a decision on whether the cordage is, or is not, fit for further use must be based on the conditions of the
cordage, and what defects have been observed during the examination. The examination must only be undertaken by
someone who is competent. In forming a decision, the examiner should adopt a fail-safe policy. If there is any doubt that
the cordage may not sustain the stresses, which it is likely to have to bear, then it must not be used.
Rope/yarn damage regardless of the percentage leads to strength loss. The attached discard criteria may describe a
certain percentage after which the rope should be rejected. This percentage is valid for ropes in general service. For
ropes used in critical applications the retirement criteria should be determined in cooperation between user and
Lankhorst Ropes and will/can vary upon application.

Preferably a sample should be taken from the rope in order to determine the actual residual breaking strength of the
rope. When this is not possible the attached criteria should be used in order to determine whether or not the rope
should be taken out of service. In practice it has proven to be very difficult to estimate strength loss based upon visual
inspection alone. The visual examination should therefore be carried out very conservatively.

Finally, the user must take notice of the fact that even carefully used ropes will wear out if they receive sufficient use,
and care should be taken to withdraw them from service before this time is reached rather than allowing them to
continue in use until they fail.
