5.4 Test on rope for breaking force
5.4.1 Method 1: Measured breaking force, Fm
Besides following regulations, the testing method and acceptance shall be in accordance with ISO 3108.
a) If the measured breaking force, Fm, reaches or exceeds the minimum breaking force, Fmin , the test
may be terminated without breaking the rope.
b) If in the irst tensile test, the measured break ing force, Fm, does not reach the minimum breaking
breaking
force, Fmin , it can be repeated three additional times. Once a test reaches or exceeds the Fmin , the
wire rope has met the minimum breaking force.
c) If the breaking is within the distance 6 times of wire rope diameter from the clamp or the ends, and
Fm less than Fmin , the testing shall be determined invalid, the invalid test is not counted as one of
theis
four allowed tests.
5.4.2 Method 2: Calculated measured (post-spin) breaking force
Add together the measured breaking forces of all the individual wires after they have been removed
from the rope and multiply this value by either
a) the spinning loss factor derived from Annex C,

C, or
b) the partial spinning loss factor obtai

obtained

The partial spinning loss factor used in the calculation shall be the lowest of the three values obtained
from type testing.
In the case
individual
individu of triangular strand ropes, the triangular centre of the strand may be considered as an

The wires shall be tested in accordance with the wire tensile test speciied in ISO 6892-1.
NOTE The result from this test is known as the “calculate

“calculatedd measured (post-spin) break
breaking
ing force”.
When this
thi s method (i.e. Method 2) is used for the
t he periodic test (see Table 4)
4) and the calculated measured
(post-spin) breaking force value is less than the intended minimum breaking force value, another test
using Method 1 shall be carried out.
If the measured (actual) breaking

break ing force in this second test fails
fai ls to meet the intended minimum breaking
force value, the minimum breaking force shall be de-rated to a value not exceeding the measured
(actual) breaking force value and type testing shall be repeated using Method 1.

ISO 2408:2017(E)
In such cases, the rope grade shall either be de-rated in line with the de-rated minimum breaking force
value or deleted from the rope designation.
5.4.3 Method 3: Calculated measured (pre-spin) breaking force
Add together the measured breaking forces of all the individual wires before they are laid into the rope
and multiply this value by the total spinning loss factor obtained from the results of type testing. The
total spinning loss factor used in the calculation shall be the lowest value of the three values obtained
from type testing.
The wires shall be tested in accordance with the wire tensile test speciied in ISO 6892-1.
NOTE The result from this test is known as the “calculat

“calculated

ng force”.
When this
thi s method (i.e. Method 3) is used for the periodic test (see
(see Table 4)
4) and the calculated measured
(pre-spin) breaking force value is less than the intended minimum breaking force value, another test
using Method 1 shall be carried out.
If the measured breaking force in this second test fails to meet the intended minimum breaking force
value, the minimum breaking force shall be de-rated to a value not exceeding the measured breaking
force value and type testing shall be repeated using Method 1.
5.4.4 Method 4: Measured aggregate breaking force, Fe.m
5.4.4.1 The wires from the rope shall be tested in accordance with the wire tensile test speciied in
ISO 6892 1.
5.4.4.2 Add together the breaking forces of all individual wires if all wires tested.
5.4.4.3 If partial wires are tested, the aggregate breaking force of wires is calculated by Formula (1):
(1):
Fe.m = F0 + F1 N1+ F 2 N2 + F 3 N3 +… + Fn Nn (1))

(1
where
F0 is the calculated aggregate minimum breaking force of core;
F1, F 2, F 3… Fn is the sum of the measured breaking force of wires in the same construction, same
diameter strand and the calculated breaking force of wires not tested;
N1, N2, N3… Nn are the numbers of the same construction and same diameter strands of wire rope.
The sampling parameters conform to Annex E .

If testing two strands or more for the same construction and same diameter strands, it should be
calculated by average value.
In such cases, the rope grade shall either be de-rated in line with the de-rated minimum breaking force
value or deleted from the rope designation.

the same closing machine with the same machine settings and the same design, the sampling number
test s would be calculated by formula N − 1 , and it should be rounded to the integer;
for breaking force tests
the minimum number is 1. The N in the formula means the number of the production lengths (i.e. close
to the breaking load).
The ropes shall be deemed to satisfy the requirement if the measured breaking forces, when tested
in accordance with 5.4.1 (Method 1), 5.4.2 (Method 2), 5.4.3 (Method 3) or 5.4.4 (Method 4), meet or
exceed the minimum value.
If one of the samples fails the

t he test, tests
tes ts shall be carried
ca rried out again on samples from each of the remaining
production lengths.
Only those ropes that pass the tests shall be deemed to have satisied the breaking force requirement.

Annex E
(informative)
Tests on wires taken from the rope
E.1 General
If tests on wires are required to be carried out, these are usually in respect of diameter, tensile strength
and torsions; and, when applicable, zinc coating.
For the purposes of evaluating the test results, the manufacturer should indicate the nominal
dimensions and tensile strength grades of the wires.
The sample selected should be of suficient length to allow for retest.
NOTE These requirements do not apply to compacted stra

strand
nd ropes or compacted (swaged) ropes.
E.2 Sampling
If there are eight strands or less in each layer, one strand of each construction within that layer shall be
selected to test the wires. If there are more than eight strands of the same diameter and construction
in one layer, the wires from two strands of that diameter and construction shall be tested. If there are
more than 15 strands of the same diameter and construction in one layer, the wires from three strands
of that diameter and construction shall be tested.
Unless speciied otherwise, the samples of wires taken for tests shall not include iller or centre wires
and IWRC or WSC.
E.3 Test methods and acceptance criteria
E.3.1 General
For each requirement, a maximum of 5 % of wires tested, rounded up to the nearest whole number of
wires, it shall be permitted to lie outside the values speciied.
When the same wire fails the test (e.g. torsion and tensile), this is counted as a failure for one wire.
E.3.2 Wire diameter

When tested in accordance with ISO 2232:1990, 5.1, 5 % of the wires may exceed by up to 50 % the
tolerance speciied in Ta

ISO 2408:2017(E)
For ropes with round strands, when tested in accordance with ISO 7800, as appropriate, the measured
values of round wires of 0,5 mm diameter and larger shall be at least 85 % of the values speciied in
Table A.2,

This test shall apply to wires smaller than 0,5 mm diameter in substitution of the torsion test stipulated
in E.3.4
E.3.4..
Each single wire with one simple knot shall withstand without breaking a force of at least 45 % of the
force corresponding to the tensile strength grade.
E.3.6 Coating of wires

When measured in accordance with ISO 2232:1990, Table A.2, the reduction of mass of zinc or Zn-Al
coating from the pre-spinning (before fabrication) minimum values shall not be more than the values
shown in Table E.1.
