If in doubt about damage assessment, always consult an official inspector.

– the type of rope (lang lay rope)
– the number of load-bearing wires in the outer strands
– the rope diameter (

In a lang lay rope (1) the wires ru
n at an angle
of approximately 45° to the longitudinal
direction of the rope.
The number of load-bearing outer wires (1)
