Add 0.2 to the values given for each of the following conditions: continuous (over 16 hr/day)
service; wet environment; idler in drive; speed-up drives. Subtract 0.2 if the operation is
quite intermittent or seasonal. These factors represent compromises of those found in the
literature, with the most attention to Refs. (17.1, 17.11), and are primarily for V-belts;
but they may serve as a guide for other transmission elements.

18TABLE AT 28 PROPERTIES OF WIRE ROPE
Approximate weight of rope is w Ib. per ft. D, = diameter of rope; D, = diameter of
sheave; A,, = cross-section area of metal, sq. in. E, = modulus of elasticity of the rope;
LP.S. stands for improved plow steel; P.S. for plow steel; M.P.S. for mild plow steel.
All values are for rope with fiber core. It may occasionally be useful in preliminary computa
tions to estimate the ultimate strengths of terms in D,; for example, for 6 x 19 rope:
VHS, F, = 48D,? tons; IPS, F, ~ 42D,2; PS F, ~ 36D,?; MPS F, * 32D,? tons.
Multiply the values given by 1.075 to obtain strength of IWRC. For 6 x 19 traction steel,
'« = (0.87)(F, for MPS) will be safe.
