Question 3565Deck General70% to pass
The only wire rope termination which may be made in the field is _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) spelter poured and resin sockets.
This is because spelter poured and resin sockets are the only wire rope terminations that can be made in the field, rather than requiring specialized equipment or facilities. The other options, such as thimbled mechanical splices, hand splices, and swaged sockets, typically require more advanced techniques and tools that are not easily available in the field.
The regulations governing wire rope terminations for U.S. Coast Guard-licensed vessels specifically allow for the use of spelter poured and resin sockets as a field-serviceable option, making this the correct answer.
