6×36-FC

6x19 construction wire rope is available with either FC (fibre core) or WSC (wire strand core). When supplied with a wsc the rope is more commonly referred to as 7x19. The rope is very popular in diameters from 3mm to 16mm and is used on a variety of applications. 6x19 FC and 6x19 WSC (7x19) is very flexible in diameters 3mm to 6mm and is used for many requirements where wire ropes are running over pulleys. 7x19 construction is readily available in both galvanised and marine grade stainless steel.

6x19 filler (often referred to as 6x25) is available with both FC (fibre core) and IWRC (independent wire rope core). With a fibre core, and due to the smaller wires used within the construction, 6x19 filler will generally achieve a superior fatigue life to the other 6x19 constructions. 6x19 filler wire rope has been a very popular construction for producing wire rope slings from 1 tonne safe working load up to 5 tonnes. One very good example is the high volume use of this construction in the North Sea Oil industry where it is used for the production of pipeslings.

6x37 is a cross laid construction used for general engineering applications. 6x37 is also available with IWRC (independent wire rope core). In the UK 6x36 is a far more popular construction, whilst on the European mainland, vast quantities of 6x37 are used for a variety of applications.
