View Technical Bulletin
Phillystran has answered the call for FIELD INSTALLABLE nonmetallic tower guy systems with HPTG-I and PLP Big Grip dead-ends for Phillystran. Phillystran Big Grip dead-ends' unique features include:

Grip designed to match rope twist direction (RHL).

Special sized wires for ease of application.
Galvanized steel and "C" coat construction.
Color coded for ease of identification.
Longer length to match Phillystran's high performance.
Designed to develop the rated strength of the Phillystran products.

Cross-over Marks: Indicate starting point for application.

Color Code and Length: Assist in identification of strand size, corresponding to tabular information appearing on the chart below.

Identification Tape: Shows part number, nominal sizes.

Short Leg-Long Leg: Identifies rods belonging to each leg, after application. During application, the short leg should be started.

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

Unions 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

With QuickSplice for fast end terminations and mid-rope repairs, there is no need for complicated splices.

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.

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.
