Question 4555 Deck General

The correct answer is D) spelter poured and resin sockets. This is the correct answer because the US Coast Guard regulations state that the only wire rope termination that can be made in the field is a spelter poured or resin socket. All other wire rope terminations, such as thimbled mechanical splices, hand splices, and swaged sockets, must be factory-made and cannot be field-assembled. The other options are incorrect because they require specialized equipment and techniques that are not suitable for field installation. Thimbled mechanical splices, hand splices, and swaged sockets must be professionally fabricated to meet the required strength and safety standards.
