Resin Volume in Sockets (Reference Only)

...........................................................
Disposal of resin 104 Mixed materials should be allowed to cure and then be disposed of as
residue normal rubbish together with the used cans. The empty resin cans should not
be resealed.
Other safety 105 Cured resin is not affected by oils or greases and is unlikely to be affected
precautions by any chemical action likely to be encountered during service in a mine
environment. However, special care should be taken to ensure that substances
containing strong caustic or acid solutions, such as paint remover, do not come
into contact with the cured resin as these will act as a solvent and may reduce
the integrity of the capping.
Reporting 106 Immediately following completion of the capping, information should be

provided on the sample form shown at Appendix 1.
Application of service 107 When the service load is applied to the rope the resin cone will pull into the
loading socket (bed-in) by a few millimetres.
Resin kit sizes 108 A schedule of the rope sizes covered by resin kits for various socket types
is shown in Tables 7 to 11 below:

Notes:
(a) The above tables are based on the cone volume of the socket plus 150 cc (neglecting
the volume of the rope).
(b) The 500 cc kit is intended for winding and haulage ropes up to 24 mm diameter. It should
not be added to any of the larger kits to increase the total volume. When a number of
very small ropes need capping no more than two should be poured from one kit.
(c) Currently there is no national specification for guide or rubbing rope suspension glands.
The volumes shown in Table 9 above are based upon those of typical commercially
available glands.
CAPPING WITH WHITE METAL
109 After cutting the rope to length and preparing the brush in accordance with
the procedures described previously, a special rope-centring clamp is fitted to
align the socket accurately with the rope (Figure 38). When fitted, it should leave
an annular space at the base of the socket in which to pour the white metal. The
clamp should incorporate a drain hole, which acts as a tell-tale during pouring to
indicate that the required penetration of white metal has occurred.
110 As with resin capping, the rope should be exactly vertical for a distance of
at least 36 times the rope diameter directly below the socket, and the socket
should be level. It is beneficial for the rope to be clamped to a kingpost (Figure
39) (as shown in the resin capping video13).
111 To prevent the metal chilling during pouring, the socket is preheated to the
correct temperature (see Table 12) by fitting a suitable furnace around it, or by
means of blowtorches or other suitable heating nozzles. Oxyacetylene flame
cutters must not be used for heating the socket.
