A 6x19 wire rope would be which of the following?

🔍 Key Concepts

• How wire rope sizing is labeled in marine rigging • The meaning of the two numbers used in a wire rope description like "6x19" • Difference between strands, wires, diameter, and circumference

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: in rigging terminology, what does the first number usually describe—overall size, length, or construction pattern? • Then ask: what does the second number usually describe—number of individual wires, strands, or something else? • Look at each wrong-sounding answer: which ones are talking about length or circumference instead of how the rope is built?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices describe construction (how it’s made) versus dimensions (size/length). • Confirm the definition of strand (a group of wires twisted together) versus a single wire. • Verify whether "6x19" is standard notation for diameter/length or for number of strands × wires per strand.
