Wire rope data 1

[bkal]

I need information regarding load - (elastic)stretch characteristics of wire ropes. At the moment, the rope is designated (not by us) as 7/16 WSC Wire rope (10mm diameter). It is likely that we might need to change the rope designation, so I will probably need information about more rope designations. At the moment I know what is a permanent load on the rope and what is a variable load.
