Corrosion Corrosion is a serious threat to the quality of Anchor or Mooring ropes. The offshore environment is a harsh one. Steel is effected quickly by it. Corrosion is the most regular and obvious phenomenon. In order to avoid, or to postpone corrosion and the risks that corrosion brings along, KISWIRE produces Anchor and Mooring Lines in the unique ALUMAR ® version. In this case, the wire ropes are coated with a zinc/aluminium layer, which protects 4 times longer against corrosion. Crushing and abrasion features By compacting our ropes the resistance to crushing improves substantially. Especially on multi layer drums, wire ropes could interlock between the different layers. By compacting a wire rope, one makes the surface of the outer layers (outer wires) of the rope more flat. This flatter surface leaves the rope with less grip to get hold of. Consequently, layers slide more smooth along each other. Maintenance It is recommended to lubricate Anchor Lines periodically. A well lubricated wire rope performs better and longer. A wire rope in service bends and rotates continuously, causing a permanent sliding of wires along each other in the rope. This causes friction, friction causes wearing. Lubricant enhances a smoother sliding area and gives consequently less friction and wearing. Any Anchor or Mooring Line shall be lubricated during production. A range of sophisticated lubricants are available. The secondary feature of lubricant on wire rope is the protection from corrosion. Swivels Basically, the use of a swivel interferes with the regular behaviour of a rope in such a way, that it often distorts the rope construction, and causes premature rope failure. Hence, the use of swivels shall be avoided or used in consult with a wire rope engineer. Particularly, a swivel shall not be used when installing a rope, nor during anchoring and mooring. Storage Neptune Anchor Lines and Mooring Ropes are delivered on a steel reel. The ropes are lubricated well with special offshore bitumen based lubricant. On the reel, the rope is wrapped with a special polypropylene cloth, giving best protection from weather influences. This way, these reels can be stored outside for some time. In the event of longer storage of wire rope outside than one year, certain metallurgical issues may become of influence to the quality of wire rope. One of these phenomenon’s is called strain aging. It is recommended to test a wire rope prior to take it into use, when stored outside longer than one year. A breaking load test should be sufficient. Anchor Lines & Mooring Ropes
