The spools shall be covered for protection from rain, snow and road spatter during shipping. 1.6 WARRANTY The Supplier shall furnish signed copies of a 1 year warranty for all materials. PART 2 PRODUCTS 2.1 WIRE ROPE AND SOCKET 2.1.1 Quantity The Contractor shall furnish 28 wire ropes with end terminations and open spelter sockets at both ends, as indicated on the drawing. 2.1.2 Type of Wire Rope The wire rope shall be of the following type: a. Strand configuration: W6x37 construction. b. Lay: right, regular lay c. Diameter: 1-1/2 inch, with a tolerance of - 0 and plus 5 percent. d. Finish: plain. e. Material: EIPS IWRC with a breaking strength of 197,800 lbs. f. Core type: independent wire rope core. g. Pre-formed: yes. 2.1.3 Pre-Stretching The manufacturer shall pre-stretch the wire ropes before attaching their end terminations. This shall be done by subjecting them to three cycles at 40 percent of its nominal strength. The 40 percent loads shall be held for 5 minutes with 5 percent loads for 5 minutes between cycles. The manufacturer may propose a method of dynamic pre-stretching. 2.1.4 Wire Strength and Ductility The Manufacturer shall perform testing in accordance with FS RR-W-410 to verify wire strength and ductility. 2.1.5 Pre-forming The wire rope shall be pre-formed, and the manufacturer shall perform testing in accordance with FS RR-W-410 to verify pre-forming. 2.1.6 Stress Relief The wire rope shall be stress relieved, and the manufacturer shall perform testing in accordance with FS RR-W-410 to verify stress relief. 2.1.7 Weld Distribution Wire joints in any strand shall not be closer than 18 inches in any strand. 2.1.8 Lubrication The wire rope shall be lubricated as per Industry standards. 2.1.9 Pitch Length Strand pitch length shall not be less than 4-1/2 times the nominal rope diameter. 2.1.10 Core Strand Wires The number of wires in the core strand shall be equal to or greater than the number of wires in the other strands. The wires shall be of the same material as the wires in the other strands, or of a material with a lower tensile strength. 2.1.11 End Terminations The wire rope end terminations sockets shall be fabricated as indicated on the Drawing. 2.1.12 Tension Testing A tension test shall be performed to verify the wire rope meets the accepted industry standards for nominal strength. Two rope samples shall be tested to failure to be sure the expected performance level has been met. The test shall be performed using suitable tension testing equipment and by qualified personnel, both furnished by the Contractor. The rope samples shall be cut to no less than 3 feet of length. The test will not be considered valid if the failure occurs less than 2 inches from either socket or holding mechanism. Relative speed between the machine heads shall not exceed 1 inch per minute. 2.1.13 Attaching and Proof Loading Terminations The manufacturer shall attach the end terminations after pre-stretching the wire rope. The end termination attachment method shall be per the wire rope and clevis manufacturer's standard practice. After their attachment, the wire ropes shall be proof loaded at 40 percent of nominal strength of the rope. Length of the wire ropes shall be measured to the nearest 0.01 inch at the proof.
