Question 2188Deck General70% to pass
A common class of wire rope is the 6X37 class. What does the 37 represent?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Number of wires per strand.
The 6x37 class of wire rope refers to the construction of the wire rope, where 6 is the number of strands and 37 is the number of wires per strand. This means that the wire rope is composed of 6 strands, each containing 37 individual wires, for a total of 222 wires in the wire rope.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the meaning of the 37 in the 6x37 class. Tensile strength, number of wires in the inner core, and number of strands per wire rope are not what the 37 represents in this classification system.
