Ropes of different diameters and lengths are used in construction, marine, textile and many other sectors. Ropes are produced in many different structures and forms depending on their usage areas and purposes. The selection of raw materials in the production of textile ropes is very important for manufacturers. Especially the improvement of the usage properties of synthetic fibers such as durability, fatigue strength and abrasion resistance are of interest to rope manufacturers.

The expected performance characteristics of a rope can only be determined by testing and measuring the rope in accordance with certain standards. However, if the rope is too long or too large, or when testing and measurement of ropes used in areas that are not suitable for preparing a test environment, these studies cause a lot of labor, time and cost losses, and in such cases, depending on the production parameters, In order to determine the need to make modeling.

One of the textile tests carried out by authorized laboratories within the scope of specific tests is testing for the determination of some physical and mechanical properties of ropes for general use. In these tests, the standards developed by the laboratories by domestic and foreign organizations are complied with. The standards used in tests for the determination of some physical and mechanical properties of ropes for general use are:

• BS EN 919 Fiber ropes for general service - Determination of some physical and mechanical properties
• TS EN ISO 2307 Fiber ropes - Determination of specific physical and mechanical properties

This standard covers the methods used to determine the net mass per unit length, diameter and circumference, twist length, weave step, percent elongation, tensile strength and tensile strength characteristics of different types of ropes.

 

The laboratories need to have a strong technological infrastructure in order to carry out these works with high quality, fast and reliable.
