Re: Swl mbl rope
Industrial Rope Supply Company, Inc. has undergone many changes since the start of 2016. Industrial Rope was purchased by Barry Stroube and John Korn to supplement their existing company, American Scaffolding, Inc. Barry and John are committed to maintaining a family owned business and providing customers with the same exceptional service they have come to expect. Safe Working Load Limits Safe Working Load (SWL) sometimes stated as the Normal Working Load (NWL) is the mass or force that a piece of lifting equipment, lifting device or accessory can safely utilize to lift, suspend, or lower a mass without fear of breaking. Usually marked on the equipment by the manufacturer and is often 1/5 of the Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS) Other Terms Used in the Industry Other synonyms include Working Load Limit (WLL), which is the maximum working load designed by the manufacturer. This load represents a force that is much less than that required to make the lifting equipment fail or yield, also known as the Minimum Breaking Load (MBL). SWL or WLL are calculated by dividing MBL by a safety factor (SF). An example of this would be a chain that has a MBL of 2000 lbf (8.89 kN) would have a SWL or WLL of 400 lbf (1.78 kN) if a safety factor of 5 (5:1, 5 to 1, or 1/5) is used. As such:WLL = MBL / SF Contact Details : Industrial Wire Rope 7390 Harrison Avenue Cincinnati, Ohio 45247 (888) 345-0919 2086 Exchange Drive St. Charles, Missouri 63303 (866) 852-9714 |
