1.            Structure classification:

• Single-strand steel wire rope: It consists of a single steel wire, and the common models are 1×7, 1×19, etc.

• Strand steel wire rope: It is composed of several strands of single-strand steel wire rope, and the common models are 6×7, 6×19, 8×19, 19×7, etc.

• Imported wire ropes: classified and named according to international standards, such as 6×37+FC, 6×36+IWRC, etc.

2.            Material classification:

• Carbon steel wire rope: Made of carbon steel, often used in general industrial applications, such as 1×7, 6×7, etc.

• Stainless steel wire rope: It is made of stainless steel and has corrosion resistance. It is often used in special environments such as marine and chemical industries, such as 7×19, 7×37, etc.

3.            Diameter classification:

• The diameter refers to the diameter of the strands of the wire rope or the diameter of a single wire. The common diameters are 0.5mm, 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, etc. The larger the diameter, the higher the bearing capacity.

4.            Use classification:

• Wire ropes for lifting: such as wire rope slings, crane wire ropes, etc. Common models are 6×19, 6×36, etc.

• Wire rope for suspension: such as rigging, hoisting rope, etc., common models are 7×7, 7×19, etc.

• Special-purpose wire ropes: according to different uses and requirements, such as elevator wire ropes, high-temperature wire ropes, etc., the specific model needs to be selected according to specific requirements.

   It should be noted that the specifications and models of wire ropes may vary by region, manufacturer and industry. The selection of appropriate wire rope specifications and models needs to be evaluated and selected according to specific conditions of use, requirements and technical standards. When purchasing and using wire ropes, it is recommended to consult professionals or wire rope manufacturers to obtain accurate specifications and technical guidance.
