Twisted ropes have developed over a long period of time with the only real evolution being the material used that has changed from natural fibers to man – made (artificial) fibers. This change of fiber gave the construction higher strength and longer life. Today, twisted ropes are preferred for most simple applications because of their flexibility, knot making ability, splicing and easy handling in small diameters. The 4 – strand ropes have a slightly firmer lay than the 3 – strand ones, since they are round ropes with more outside surface, more traction on sheaves and objects. 1. Materials: All the above mentioned materials form yarns twisted into strands and made exclusively of pure raw materials. 2. Diameter: The size of all ropes must always be considered in approximate terms for obvious reasons and is actually determined by Linear Density. 3. Linear Density: Is considered standard and in the metric system is measured in Kilotex (ktex) that is grams/meter or kilograms/1000 meters length. All ropes have extra U.V. protection additives, are made of high quality materials and are properly tested and certified. Twisted ropes have different applications such as in agriculture, transport, gardening, household, decoration, sports, shipping, fishing etc. It is up to the user to choose the right rope suited for the destined application.
