“Quality. Strength. Focus.

”
Premier Wire Rope is an American owned and operated company with a focus on supplying high
quality specialty wire ropes to distributors in the North American marketplace.
Our sales team has extensive experience with both general purpose and specialty type wire ropes. At
Premier Wire Rope you will find in most cases that we are familiar with not only our products but also
the equipment that our product will be used with and the equipments’ application. When application
specific specialty or high performance wire ropes are required, THINK PREMIER WIRE ROPE.
Premier Wire Rope is strong on customer service and client satisfaction. We understand that
Distributors demand that their suppliers not only supply the correct, proven product but also have
the proper product knowledge required to support the product. Our view is that with wire ropes and,
especially with specialty wire ropes, what sets Premier Wire Rope apart is that we focus exclusively
on high performance specialty wire ropes. Furthermore, we aim to be among the leaders in the field
in North America when it comes to product knowledge and training.
When technical support and service is required CALL PREMIER WIRE ROPE
We at Premier Wire Rope have a STRICT no “end user” sales policy, and all of our products and
services reach the end user solely through our clients or distributor base.
Our distributors benefit from this when our direct assistance with any wire rope project is required
or more in depth help is needed with their end user accounts.
Another benefit is when our distributors require end fittings or
terminations applied to our products. Many types of end fittings
can be fitted in house using modern European fabrication
equipment and in conformance with applicable European
standards. We can provide many of the correct end fittings, of
European manufacture, using proven, and tested methods. WE
INVITE YOU TO INQUIRE.

Compacted and Rotary Swaged Strands Pla

Most Hyrope products are made out of compacted strands. The strands are properly Breaking Load of Hyrope roller-compacted Steel-P
during the production process to improve the contact conditions between both the strands and the individual wires. The pla

Benefits of Hyrope compacted strands This pla

• Smooth Surface

• Linear contact between individual wires

• Much higher breaking load with higher metallic area

• Better contact between the rope surface and the sheaves

• Far more resistant to abrasion and corrosion

• Good constructional stability for the multi-layer spooling system a. Co nvent i ona l S t rand b. H yf il K 8 b. H yf il K 8 T
 Comparison of Breaking Load
Hyrope products are designed not only to achieve greater tensile strength of the individual wires
but also a combination of relative factors with high technology.

• Used only high quality wires that are produced in Kiswire’s own drawing factory.

• Increased fill factor/metallic area of the rope through optimal compacting of the strands.

• Parallel lay with a plastic layer that substantially reduces the internal stresses of the rope. Standard breaking strength of
Hyrope is around 20~40% higher than a conventional rope to international standards of the same tensile grade and construction
categories.

Plastic Layer
Steel-Plastic combination Long fatigue life
The plastic layer of Hyrope acts as a cushion between the layers.

This plastic layer has many advantages ;

• Prevents direct metal-to-metal contact

• Stabilizes the rope construction during installation and actual service

• Keeps out water and harmful elements

• Seals in rope lubricant

• Removes the incidence of birdcaging

• Prevents internal wire breaks

• Absorbs dynamic energy

• Extremely reduces internal stress

Torque Factor
• Hylift K16, Hylift K18 and Hyfil K18 are rotation-resistant ropes with a steel core closed in the opposite
direction to the outer strands.

• When a load is applied, the core has the tendency to twist in one direction while the outer strands tend to
rotate in the opposite direction.

• The created moments in the core versus the created moments in the outer strands add to zero over a wide
load spectrum.

High strength wire rope for the
offshore oil & gas industry

Kiswire LTD
The World’s largest manufacturer of steel wire rope.

Kiswire was established in 1945 Busan, Korea. The company

has grown into a major international operation with a global
sales and marketing presence, and manufacturing facilities
in Korea, Malaysia, China and the USA.

NEPTUNE Wire Ropes

In 1997 KISWIRE established a dedicated manufacturing
operation in Johor, Malaysia for a complete range of wire
ropes for use by the oil and gas industry, with unit weights
for 6-strand rope up to 120t.

Through continuous improvement, product development and

expansion, NEPTUNE wire ropes have grown into leading
products for use offshore.

Planned investment will see Neptune unit weights go beyond

300t, and its manufacturing capacity double.
 The NEPTUNE product range includes:
Anchor Lines
A & R Winch Ropes
Drilling Lines
Marine Riser Tensioner Lines
Large Diameter Offshore Crane Ropes

Key Product Features:

The highest breaking strengths and fatigue resistance in round and compacted strand rope made
possible by the use of special, high quality steel, high technology wire drawing machinery coupled
with special die and lubrication practices; optimum rope designs to minimise spinning loss.

Outstanding resistance to corrosion through heavy, uniform thickness zinc and zinc aluminum
alloy (ALUMAR) coatings in combination with highly effective water repellent blocking compounds
developed specifically for use with NEPTUNE products.

Excellent packaging and product protection by careful control of rope spooling and the use of strong
steel reels and protective wrapping.

Rigorous quality assurance through procedures and practices strictly applied according to
internationally accredited standards.
Wire Rope Selection
When replacing a wire rope, refer to the relevant Original Equipment Manufacturers recommendation and
rope test certification.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, replacement ropes should conform to the specified nominal rope
diameter and be at least equal to the required strength originally specified. Additionally, the wire rope
construction selected should provide similar or improved working properties for resistance to rotation,
bend fatigue, crushing, abrasion and corrosion.
Where an original wire rope is to be supplied, or where the required working conditions have changed,
KISWIRE should be consulted to obtain the best possible advice and recommendations.

Rope Diameter
Correct and consistent rope diameter is essential for optimum 20,00mm

working performance. Ensure that the rope diameter is correctly

measured and that the resulting diameter is appropriate for the
working system.
Incorrect diameter can reduce performance and cause unsafe 18,30mm

working conditions.

Strength
Rope strength should be specified as Minimum Breaking
Strength or Minimum Breaking Force.
The breaking strength of the rope is determined by the wire
tensile strength and steel cross sectional area.
The steel fill factor and rope construction can be varied to suit
the operating conditions.
Strand compaction can be used for increased rope strength and
service life.

Rope Torsion
All wire ropes have inherent rotation characteristics that will
produce a turning moment in the rope. With both rope ends
fixed and unable to rotate, the turning moment will generate
a TORQUE force at the fixed points. Whereas, if one end of the
rope is free to rotate, the generated force will result in rope TURN
and therefore load rotation.
Wire ropes can be designed to achieve the desired rotational
properties required by the application.
Single layer ropes such as the 6 and 8 strand have a much
greater tendency to rotate under load, whereas multistrand
ropes, which depend upon the opposing torsional values of the
various layers of strands, offer much greater torsional stability.
Single Layer 2 Layer

As the wire rope construction options are numerous, KISWIRE

would be pleased to offer technical advice on rope selection.

provides lubrication for the rope
which reduces internal abrasion 50
damage, as well as increasing rope
service life through resistance to

penetration of the rope by seawater.
A range of manufacturing lubricants
is available to satisjy particular
seawater salinity and temperature.

Corrosion
Where the rope is working in a corrosive environment, protection of the individual wires should be
considered, especially if the rope life is expected to be in excess of 12 months. In such cases, it is
essential to safeguard the integrity of the smaller, inner wires of the rope in order to maintain the
constructional stability and also the working safety of the rope. Zinc has been the conventional
coating on wire, but KISWIRE is now offering a much superior coating based on a Zinc/Aluminum
alloy - ALUMAR. (See the details overleaf.)
In applications such as Riser Lines, additional corrosion protection can be achieved by the use of
a plastic impregnated core. The plastic will give added protection to the centre wires and also offer
greater support to the outer strands, resulting in extended rope life.
All information and data provided are for guidance only and it is recommended that individual
requirements be discussed with KISWIRE.
Neptune ALUMAR
Neptune ALUMAR features a special zinc/aluminum alloy coating.
Neptune ALUMAR is an exciting new development, stemming from a major investment programme
led by KISWIRE’s R&D Center.
Neptune ALUMAR has excellent corrosion resistance and superior rope fatigue performance
compared to conventional galvanising.
The special, ductile zinc/aluminum coating, combined with highly effective, water repellent
blocking compounds, provide three times greater life in sea water than the conventional product.
This powerful combination of corrosion resistance, durability and highest strength rope,
significantly extends useful life of rope in a marine environment.
Neptune ALUMAR provides a 21st century solution for the offshore oil and gas industry.
• Unparalleled high strength to weight ratio
• Extended tension-tension and bend fatigue life
• Remarkable corrosion resistance
A quality assured product from design through to installation.

Pipe Lay Barges manufacture oil and gas pipes, which are laid on the
bottom of the sea. For several reasons, the manufactured pipe has to be
disconnected from the barge, and laid down on the seabed for a certain
time(abandon) once in a while. Eventually, the same pipe needs to be
taken up from the seabed and lifted onboard again to continue the
manufacturing process (recovery). Both S-lay and J-lay barges operate
with A&R systems as described. Depending on water depth and
subsequently the length of A&R ropes required, a choice of rope is
made out of the following available rope constructions..

6x36WS+IWRC in single or dual use. Single layer ropes, such as 6 and 8

Dual use of A&R ropes consist of a strand constructions, have a much
right and a left laid rope, operating as greater tendency to rotate under
a pair. In the event of greater working load than multi strand ropes. In fact,
depths, multi strand, low rotating a multi strand rope is designed and
ropes are applied. For instance, manufactured to not rotate at all, or
35xK7, 35xK19S, 35xK26WS, 55xK7, minimally.
55xK19S, 55xK26WS, 55xK31WS.
The longer the ropes, the deeper
the operation depths, the higher the
tendency to rotate.

Torque
All wire ropes have inherent rotation
characteristics that will produce a
turning moment in the rope. With
both ends fixed and unable to rotate,
the turning moment will generate a
TORQUE at the fixed points. Whereas,
if one end of the rope is free to rotate,
the generated force will result in rope
TURN and therefore load rotation.

Pipe Lay Barges manufacture oil and gas pipes, which are laid on the
bottom of the sea. For several reasons, the manufactured pipe has to be
disconnected from the barge, and laid down on the seabed for a certain
time(abandon) once in a while. Eventually, the same pipe needs to be
taken up from the seabed and lifted onboard again to continue the
manufacturing process (recovery). Both S-lay and J-lay barges operate
with A&R systems as described. Depending on water depth and
subsequently the length of A&R ropes required, a choice of rope is
made out of the following available rope constructions..

6x36WS+IWRC in single or dual use. Single layer ropes, such as 6 and 8

Dual use of A&R ropes consist of a strand constructions, have a much
right and a left laid rope, operating as greater tendency to rotate under
a pair. In the event of greater working load than multi strand ropes. In fact,
depths, multi strand, low rotating a multi strand rope is designed and
ropes are applied. For instance, manufactured to not rotate at all, or

The longer the ropes, the deeper

the operation depths, the higher the
tendency to rotate.

Torque
All wire ropes have inherent rotation
characteristics that will produce a
turning moment in the rope. With
both ends fixed and unable to rotate,
the turning moment will generate a
TORQUE at the fixed points. Whereas,
if one end of the rope is free to rotate,
the generated force will result in rope
TURN and therefore load rotation.
