6x37 Stainless Steel Wire Rope (Type 304)

This classification of wire rope is widely used when a stainless steel rope is required. The 6 x 37 class of wire rope is characterized by the relatively large number of wires used in each strand. Ropes of this class are among the most flexible available due to the greater number of wire per strand, however their resistance to abrasion is less the ropes in the 6 x 19 class. The designation of 6x 37 is only nominal, as in the case with the 6 x 19 classification. Improvements in wire rope design, as well as changing machine designs, have resulted in the use of strands with widely varying numbers of wires and a smaller number of available constructions.
