Note 1: Masses shown refer either to stockless anchors or to stocked anchors excluding stocks. The proof load for intermediate
masses may be determined by linear interpolation.
Note 2: For high holding power (HHP) anchors, the required proof load is derived from the Table, using a mass equal to 1,33 times
the actual mass of the HHP anchor.
Note 3: For very high holding power (VHHP) anchors, the required proof load is derived from the Table, using a mass equal to twice
the actual mass of the VHHP anchor.

The impact test of grade 2 materials may be waived if the chain cable is supplied in a heat treated condition.
In general, Charpy V impact tests are to be performed at the temperature of 0C. At the discretion of the Society, the impact test
of grade 3 materials may alternatively be carried out at 20C; in such case the energy required, as shown in the Table, is 35 J.

Re-tests
Re-tests requirements for tensile tests are to be in accordance with Ch 1, Sec 2, [2.3]. Failure to meet the specified
requirements of either of both additional tests results in
rejection of the batch represented.
Re-tests requirements for Charpy V-notch impact tests are to
be in accordance with Ch 1, Sec 2, [4.4]. Failure to meet
the requirements results in rejection of the batch represented.
If failure to pass the test is definitely attributable to improper
heat treatment of the test sample, a new test sample may be
taken from the same piece and re-heat treated. The complete test (both tensile and impact tests) is to be repeated;
the original results obtained may be disregarded.

On every four chain cable lengths, a breaking test specimen, comprising at least three links, is to be taken and
tested at the breaking load appropriate to the particular
chain cable as shown in Tab 8. The links of the breaking test
specimen are to be made at the same time and in the same
way as the chain cable and heat treated together with it.
Only after this, the breaking test specimen may be separated from the chain cable in the presence of the surveyor.
The breaking test specimen is to be free from paint and anticorrosive media.
2.9.3
For grade Q3 chain cable, an additional tensile test specimen accross the weld and an additional set of Charpy Vnotch impact test specimens having the notch located in the
fusion line of the weld are to be taken in a link from every
four lengths of chain cable.
In addition, the manufacturer shall make appropriate investigations to identify the cause of the failure.

3.3.7 Marking
Studless chain cables which meet the requirements are to
be stamped at both ends of each length as indicated in
[2.9.4] for stud link chain cables.

4.1
4.1.1 General
The requirements of this Article apply to unalloyed steel
wire ropes, round stranded, intended for warping, towing,
rigging and similar applications.
4.1.2 Continuous production
In the case of continuous production, a specific procedure
for testing and inspection may be allowed by the Society for
approved Manufacturers at their request.
4.2
Manufacture
4.2.1 General
Wire ropes are to be manufactured in accordance with
national or international standards recognised by the Society. In particular, ISO 2408 Standard is recognised.
The type and size of ropes are to be in accordance with the
requirements specified for each application by the relevant
part of the Rules or the approved plans relative to each
installation.
Ropes of type and size different from those covered by this
Article are considered in each case, taking into account
their application; see also [4.2.4].
4.2.2 Rope materials
Ropes are to be manufactured with wires drawn from steel
billets of appropriate and homogeneous quality; the steel is to
be made by a process in accordance with Ch 1, Sec 2, [1.2].
Wires are not to show signs of defects and their surface is to
be smooth and regular.
All the steel wires of a wire rope are to be of the same tensile grade, generally including those forming the metal core,
if any.
As a rule, wires having the minimum nominal tensile
strength Rm in the range 1420 - 1960 N/mm are to be used.

General
When the base material used has the same origin and characteristics, the acceptance tests required in [4.4] for each
rope length may be performed for each rope construction
and diameter.
Suitable sampling and identification procedures are to be
adopted, to the Surveyors satisfaction.
The tests and examinations under [4.4.2], [4.4.3] or [4.4.4],
[4.4.6] and [4.4.8] are to be performed for acceptance.
The tests under [4.4.5] and [4.4.7] are to be carried out
when required by the Surveyor as a production check.
4.4.2

Sampling
Where the rope length is greater than 10000 m, the acceptance tests are to be carried out for every portion of 10000
m or fraction thereof.
4.3.2
b)
4.4
As an alternative, when the breaking test on full size specimens cannot be performed, the breaking strength of the
rope may be determined, in agreement with the Surveyor, as
the sum of the actual breaking strengths determined on the
individual wires, multiplied by the factor K (realisation factor) applicable in relation to the type and construction of
the rope.

The first figure gives the number of strands, the second the number of wires in each strand.
The figures give the number of wires for each layer; the figures in brackets are relevant to wires of the same layer but of two different diameters. The letter F indicates filler wires.
The type of rope stranding indications are as follows:
O: ordinary strands (non-parallel wires);
S, S-F, W and W-S (strands with parallel wires): designate Seale, Seale-Filler, Warrington and Warrington-Seale strandings,
respectively.
The coefficient K is to be reduced by 3% for preformed ropes.
The fibre core is not considered in the breaking load of the rope.
The metal core consists of an independent rope (in general 6x7 with centre strand of 7 wires); it may, however, consist of a single strand for wire ropes of 6x7 and 6x19 wires with ordinary strands.
6x19 and 8x19 Filler wire ropes are sometimes designated by 6x25 Filler and 8x25 Filler, respectively.
4.4.5
The wires tested are to satisfy the tensile requirements specified for the wires and the total breaking load of the n wires
tested multiplied by the ratio N/n (where N is the total number of wires of the rope) and by the factor K (depending on
the type of the rope) is to be not less than the minimum
value specified by the recognised standard applied.
The acceptance of the check of the breaking load of the
rope by means of tensile tests on individual wires is, in gen-

Torsion test
The gauge length of the wire specimens, measured
between the end terminals, is to be 100 times the wire
diameter, but need not exceed 300 mm for wire diameters above 3 mm.
Tab 19 shows the minimum number of one-minute submersions, in relation to the wire diameter and galvanising class.
After each submersion, the specimen is to be rinsed in running water so as to wash away unbonded copper deposits.
4.5
Coiling test
The test consists of coiling a specimen of wire of sufficient length 8 times, in closed coils, around a cylindrical
mandrel having a diameter equal to that of the wire; the
wire is to be subsequently uncoiled and straightened.
After having been coiled, the zinc coating is not to show
any sign of significant cracks or laminations. In the subsequent uncoiling and straightening, fracture of the wire
is not to occur.
4.4.7 Checks of the zinc mass
The mass of zinc coating per unit area is required to be
checked in accordance with a recognised standard.

5.4.1 Sampling
Acceptance tests are be performed on each rope length
(defined as either one single length or multiple lengths manufactured with continuity).
Where the rope length is greater than 2000 m, the acceptance tests are to be carried out for every portion of 2000 m.
When the base material used has the same origin and characteristics, the acceptance tests required in [5.4] for each
rope length may be performed for each rope construction
and diameter.
Suitable sampling and identification procedures are to be
adopted, to the Surveyors satisfaction.
The tests and examinations under [5.4.2], [5.4.3] and
[5.4.4] or [5.4.5] are to be performed for acceptance.

The linear mass is to be measured under the reference load given in Tab 23.
The diameter values are given for reference only.
As regards the conditioning of the sample, reference is to be made to recognised standards. If the moisture content is other than
12%, the breaking strength obtained in such conditions is to be multiplied by the relevant correction factor given in Tab 24.
