..."post prandial" - one of my favorites!<br /><br /><br />Also - <br /><br />When designing cable or wire rope systems, the amount of stretch that will occur when a force is applied is an important consideration. Keep the following in mind when you do your calculations:<br /><br />There are two forms of stretch in cable and wire rope: Structural Stretch and Elastic Stretch.<br /><br />Structural Stretch<br /><br />Structural Stretch is the lengthening of the lay in the construction of cable and wire rope as the individual wires adjust under load. Structural Stretch in Loos & Co., Inc. products is less than 1% of the total cable length. This form of stretch can be completely removed by applying a cable or wire rope prestretching operation prior to shipment.<br /><br />Elastic Stretch<br /><br />Elastic Stretch is the actual physical elongation of the individual wires under load. The elastic stretch can be calculated by using the following formula*:<br /><br />E = (W x G) / D2<br /><br />Where:<br /><br />E = Elastic Stretch, as a % of Length**<br /><br />W = Weight of Load, in pounds<br /><br />D = Diameter of cable, in inches<br /><br />G = See Chart Below (omitted)<br /><br /><br />*Elastic Stretch derived from this formula is an approximation.<br /><br />**Remember to keep your units of measure constant. The length of your cable must be calculated in inches to correspond with the diameter measurement, also in inchesivectordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17860909735389877715noreply@blogger.com
