About this product

The string of drill pipes is raised and lowered by means of the drill line. This operation requires a rope construction with maximum resistance to abrasion and crushing on the multi-layered drum. The recommended ropes are 6x19/IWRC EIPS grade, right regular lay, ungalvanised or 6x26/IWRC EEIPS. The 9 larger outer wires in the 6x19 construction provide resistance to abrasion, while the IWRC enhances crushing resistance as well as contributing towards the rope breaking force. The right hand regular lay reduces the tendency of the rope to build up torque during the operation. 6x26/IWRC UHP ropes with 10 large outer wires have proved a major success in rotary drilling applications.
