Torque Balanced Ropes Break Strength: 1, 200 - 252, 000 lbs (5.3 - 1, 121 kN) Diameter: 0.16 - 1.95 in (4 - 50 mm) View Technical Bulletin Phillystran HPTG high performance tower guy cable consists of a high modulus of elasticity aramid fiber core (parallel construction), protected with an extruded polyethylene jacket. This product offers low elongation, minimal constructional stretch, and is torque balanced.

Torque-neutral by parallel strand core design Double Jacketed Inner polymer jacket & internal lubricating adhesive assures core strand integrity Outer braided resin impregnated polyester jacket offers unsurpassed toughness Strength of steel at a fraction of the weight Very low elongation Retains superior flexibility at low temperatures QuickSplice™ and QuickEye™ available for fast end terminations and mid-rope repairs (no need for complicated splices) View Technical Bulletin

Mooring Rope Break Strength: 100, 000 - 660, 000 lbs (445 - 2, 936 kN) Diameter: 1-516 - 3-13 in (33 - 85 mm) Splice Procedures HMPE View Technical Bulletin Phillystran high modulus polyethylene fiber ropes (HMPE) have been specifically designed for dock mooring lines, head lines, and breast lines, or any application requiring ropes that are easy to handle and splice. HMPE ropes consist of four HMPE fiber strands around an independent synthetic core. Each strand is individually over-braided with alternating aramid and polyester yarns for added abrasion resistance. Floating ropes are also available upon request.

Braids Break Strength: 10, 000 - 125, 000 lbs (45 - 556 kN) Diameter: 14 - 1 in (6.4 - 25.4 mm) View Technical BulletinWeights and Dimensions can vary Technora® is a registered trademark of Teijin, Ltd CAUTION: Break Strength: The breaking strength of a rope is the load at which a new rope will break when tested under laboratory conditions. Break strength should not be mistaken for safe working load. Safe Working Load: Because of the wide range of rope use, rope condition and the degree of risk of life or property, it is not possible to make a blanket recommendation for safe working load. It is ultimately dependent on the rope user to determine what percentage of break strength is their own safe working load. Wear: Ropes wear out with use; the more severe the usage, the greater the wear. It is often not possible to detect wear on a rope by visible signs alone. Therefore, it is recommended that the rope user determine a retirement criteria for ropes in their application. For assistance in developing safe working load and retirement criteria for each application please call or write Phillystran, Inc.

Phillystran manufactures high tenacity fiber ropes, strands, braids and strength members from fibers such as Kevlar®, Twaron®, Technora®, Vectran®, Dyneema® and Zylon®. Phillystran also manufactures polyester ropes for specialized applications. Phillystran products are used worldwide in a broad range of marine, industrial and military rope applications including mooring lines, life lines and winch lines, boat rigging, structural and support lines, power cables and broadcast tower guy cables.

Large Diameter Offshore Ropes Break Strength: 1, 000, 000 - 3, 000, 000 lbs (4, 448 - 13, 345 kN) Diameter: 5 - 8-12 in (127 - 216 mm) View Technical Bulletin Phillystran PSP large diameter Polyester® fiber ropes are manufactured in a 7x19 wire lay construction. These ropes are especially designed for high strength and lightweight applications such as mooring lines and deep water buoy anchor lines. All PSP ropes have a heavy duty braided polyester jacket for increased abrasion resistance. Other rope jackets, including extruded jackets, are available upon request.

10-15 times the service life of wire rope or strand Able to withstand tension-tension fatigue Maintenance-free Lighter, easier to handle during installation Can be tensioned to the same loads as the pendants being replaced Customized to your requirements View Technical Bulletin Union’s mid-boom pendants for draglines are parallel aramid fiber ropes with a heavy braided polyester jacket covered with a thick urethane outer coating. Our ARA-BOOM products have demonstrated a life expectancy of 10 to 15 times that of wire rope. Modulus of Elasticity: 10x106 (69 GPa)psi at 10th cycle(1) Termination Strength: 80% of rope Rated Breaking Force Rope Creep Rate: 0.16%(2) stretch under constant load
