STRETCH IN WIRE ROPES Elastic stretch (mm) = W x L Typical values for E are:
Stretch is a characteristic of all wire ropes, ExA
initially as permanent stretch when the load where: 7 x 19 47.5 kN/mm2 (6.89 x 106 P.S.I.)
is first applied and the individual wires bed W = Applied load (kN)
down, and then as conventional elastic stretch 7x7 57.3 kN/mm2 (8.31 x 106 P.S.I.)
within the wires. Where stretch is critical L = Cable length (mm)
to the application, initial stretch can be 1 x 19 107.5 kN/mm2 (15.59 x 106 P.S.I.)
accounted for with cables pre-tensioned E = Strand modulus (kN/mm2)
