3 x 19 Wire Rope
Mooring Systems Inc.
specializes
in the fabrication of wire rope assemblies designed specifically for
oceanographic applications. The 3 x 19 (3 strands - 19 wires per
strand) galvanized jacketed wire rope construction with swaged socket
terminations is the accepted standard for underwater mooring
installations. Developed at the Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution, this high performance rope is torque balanced to resist
rotation and unwinding and provides superior handling control. A
durable plastic jacket protects against corrosion for increased mooring
longevity. Mooring performance is also improved as the wire rope's
low drag coefficient reduces dip and allows better depth control of
in-line mounted instrumentation.
