Question 4557 Deck General
70% to passA common class of wire rope used for mooring is the 6x37 class. What does the 37 represent?
A
Tensile strength of the wire
B
Number of wires in the inner core
C
Number of strands per wire rope
D
Number of wires per strand
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Number of wires per strand. The 6x37 class of wire rope refers to the construction of the wire rope, which consists of 6 strands with 37 wires per strand. This means that the 37 represents the number of individual wires that make up each of the 6 strands in the wire rope. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the meaning of the 37 in the 6x37 wire rope classification. The tensile strength, number of wires in the inner core, and number of strands per wire rope are not what the 37 represents in this case.
