Specifies requirements for steel wire ropes for all purposes, and includes tables giving linear mass and minimum breaking force against nominal diameter for each type of rope construction. The designation system is taken from ISO 3578. It specifies materials, manufacture, marking, packing, and test requirements. Appendices give guidelines for purchasers, and for calculation of minimum breaking force. Includes wall charts which give details of the designation system and examples of construction for the new system both full and abbreviated, and the previous Australian standard system.

This Standard specifies requirements for steel wire ropes. NOTE: Guidelines are given in Appendix A for the purchasing of ropes and in Appendix B for rope selection. Appendix E sets out the previous designation method. For guidance on recommended procedures for the selection, storage, handling maintenance, use, inspection, and discard of helically laid steel wire ropes, see AS 2759.
