🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between fiber core (FC) and independent wire rope core (IWRC) in wire rope construction • How core material affects flexibility vs strength • Typical temperature and cargo-use limitations for fiber vs wire cores

💭 Think About

• Think about what adding a softer material to the center of a steel rope will do to how easily it bends. • Consider which type of core (fiber or all-steel) you would expect to be stronger for the same diameter. • Ask yourself whether fiber materials generally perform better or worse than steel at very high temperatures.

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare flexibility characteristics of fiber core vs wire core for equal diameter. • Compare breaking strength of the two constructions for the same size rope. • Recall whether there is any rule that says only one core type is authorized for cargo runners, and whether fiber can withstand higher temperatures than steel.
