ÖNORM EN 10264-3

ÖNORM EN 10264-3 specifies round and shaped non alloyed steel wire for use in the manufacture of ropes for mine hoisting, man-riding haulage, cableways for the transportation of passengers and other high duty applications. High duty refers to situations where the stresses applied to the rope are either high or vary by large amount during service. This standard refers to round wires and three types of shaped wire: full lock (Z), half lock (H) and trapezoidal (T). In addition to the requirements of this part of this standard, the requirements of EN 10264-1 also apply. This standard specifies the following for cold drawn non alloyed steel wire for ropes for high duty applications: dimensional tolerances; mechanical characteristics; requirements relating to the chemical composition of the steel wire; conditions to be satisfied by any coating.
