Wire rope is a common industrial material used in a wide range of applications, from construction to shipping. These types of ropes offer high tensile strength, durability, and flexibility, making them a go-to option for heavy-duty lifting and towing.

Breaking Strength (lb)=D² x T x K

D=Diameter of the rope in inches
T=Tensile strength of the wire in pounds per square inch (psi)
K=Constant calculated based on the number of wires in the rope

K=Number of wires in the rope x (D/d)²

D=Diameter of the rope in inches
d=Diameter of the individual wire in inches
