Galvanized steel wire cable 1*7 7*7 1*19 7*19 construction wire rope

Suppliers typically identify wire cable by listing both the number of strands and the amount of wires per strand respectively, though stranded cable may alternatively be measured by their lay and length or pitch. For example, a door-retaining lanyard wire rope is identified by its 7 x 7 construction, and wire rope used for guying purposes is identified by its 1 x 19 construction. The most common types are 6 x 19,19 x 7, 7 x 7, 7 x 19, and 6 x 36.

Identification codes can also be extended to specifics which are abbreviated to quickly denote core type, work load limit, and more.

The following are some identified types of wire rope cable, not identified by the above.

Steel Wire Rope

Iron and steel are the two most common materials used in producing wire ropes. A steel wire is normally made from non-alloy carbon steel that offers a very high strength and can support extreme stretchable forces. For even more strength and durability, manufacturers can make stainless steel wire rope or galvanized steel wire rope. The latter two are good for applications like rigging and hoisting.
