The nominal breaking strength of wire rope should be
considered the straight line pull, which will ACTUALLY
BREAK a new, UNUSED, rope (with both rope ends 昀椀xed
to prevent rotation). The nominal breaking strength of the
rope should NEVER BE USED AS ITS WORKING LOAD.
To determine the working load of a wire rope, the
MINIMUM or NOMINAL breaking strength MUST BE
REDUCED by a DESIGN FACTOR. The design factor will
vary depending upon the type of machine and installation,
and the work permitted. YOU must determine the
applicable design factor for your use.

Note: Specialty ropes are available upon request.
For example, a design factor of "5" means the minimum
or nominal breaking strength of the wire rope must be
DIVIDED BY FIVE to determine the maximum load that
can be applied to the rope system.
Design factors have been established by OSHA, by
ANSI, by ASME, and similar government and industrial
organizations.
No wire rope should ever be installed or used without full
knowledge and consideration of the design factor for the
application.
