Beaver G1570 6 x 19 Blue PVC Wire Rope 4 mm wire, 6 mm OD, 50 m Reel (706040-50)

Beaver PVC coated G1570 6 x 19 wire rope is galvanised steel wire rope with a fibre core in right hand ordinary lay (RHOL), covered in a blue PVC coating. Beaver lists two sizes for each rope: the wire diameter (the steel rope) and the PVC outside diameter (the coated size). This listing is the 4 mm wire (6 mm outside diameter) rope on a 50 m reel (code 706040-50).

Beaver lists the wire finish as galvanised and does not give applications for its PVC coated rope. Beaver says more load bearing wires in a rope give greater flexibility, and that the core is the foundation for the strands and keeps them in place through the life of the rope.

Where this product is used

• Towing and lifting applications, as Beaver describes its wire rope range (manufacturer-stated)
• Applications where a blue PVC covering over galvanised wire rope is wanted; Beaver does not list specific applications for its PVC coated rope

Features

• Construction 6 x 19 with a fibre core, right hand ordinary lay (RHOL) (manufacturer-stated)
• Grade 1570 galvanised wire (manufacturer-stated)
• Blue PVC coating over galvanised wire (manufacturer-stated)
• Wire diameter and PVC outside diameter both listed (manufacturer-stated)
• Minimum breaking force 7.72 kN (manufacturer-stated)
• Diameter, MBF, mass per 100 m and reel length listed by Beaver (manufacturer-stated)

Reading the specifications

• Nominal diameter: Beaver says this is measured at the widest point of the rope (over the crowns). Choose thimbles, ferrules, grips and sheaves for the rope diameter.
• Construction: six strands of 19 wires each, laid around a fibre core (6 x 19 FC), with a PVC coating over the galvanised wire.
• Grade: the tensile grade of the wires in megapascals (MPa). Beaver says a higher grade gives a higher minimum breaking strength but also influences the life of the rope.
• Lay (RHOL): right hand ordinary lay, with the strands laid to the right and the wires in each strand to the left.
• MBF: minimum breaking force in kN, as listed by Beaver. This is not a working load limit.
• Approx. mass: kilograms per 100 m of rope, as listed by Beaver.

Breaking force and working load

MBF is the minimum breaking force Beaver lists for the rope, in kilonewtons (kN). It is not a working load limit. Beaver does not publish a working load limit for loose wire rope, and the load a rope can safely carry depends on how it is terminated and rigged and on the safety factor your application needs. If the rope will be used for lifting, have a qualified rigger or competent person confirm the rope, the terminations and the working load limit before you order, and inspect the rope before each use. Beaver's manual has a working load limit table for standard galvanised slings made from grade 1770 steel core rope, with AS 1666.1 and AS 1666.2 cited in the table heading (manufacturer-stated). That table is for slings and does not cover the rope on this page.

Key specifications

Codes, diameters, breaking forces, masses and reel lengths are from Beaver's Materials Handling Technical Manual (Vol. 4) and the Beaver website. MBF is the minimum breaking force, not a working load limit.

Selecting the right option

Choose the diameter and construction for your application, then check the breaking force against the safety factor you need. Match thimbles, ferrules, grips and sheaves to the rope diameter.
