Synthetic fiber rope
A synthetic fiber rope comprising:—a core, said core being a laid or braided synthetic fiber strand,—a polymer layer, said polymer layer covering said core,—a first layer, said first layer having at least six first synthetic fiber strands laid in a first direction surround said polymer layer, and—a second layer, said second layer having at least twelve second synthetic fiber strands laid in a second direction surround said first layer.
1. A synthetic fiber rope comprising
a core, said core being a laid or braided synthetic fiber strand,
a polymer layer, said polymer layer covering said core,
a first layer, said first layer having at least six first synthetic fiber strands laid in a first direction surround said polymer layer, and
a second layer, said second layer having at least twelve second synthetic fiber strands laid in a second direction surround said first layer,
wherein
said core has cross-sectional area in a range of 5 to 10% relative to a combined cross-sectional area of the polymer layer, the first layer, and the second layer, or
said first layer or said second layer has an area in a range of 40 to 60% of the total cross-section area of the synthetic fiber rope.
2. The synthetic fiber rope according to claim 1 ,
wherein each of said core, said first layer and said second layer has a lay factor in a range from 3 to 15.
3. The synthetic fiber rope according to claim 1 ,
wherein said core has a lowest lay factor, and said first layer has a lower lay factor than said second layer.
4. The synthetic fiber rope according to claim 1 ,
wherein said first direction is “S” direction and said second direction is “Z” direction, or said first direction is “Z” direction and said second direction is “S” direction.
5. The synthetic fiber rope according to claim 1 ,
wherein said first layer and/or said second layer are covered with a protective layer.
6. The synthetic fiber rope according to claim 5 ,
wherein said protective layer is braided and/or extruded.
7. The synthetic fiber rope according to claim 1 ,
wherein said first synthetic fiber strands and said second synthetic fiber strands are individually covered with a further layer.
8. The synthetic fiber rope according to claim 1 ,
wherein said first synthetic fiber strands and said second synthetic fiber strands are not individually covered with a further layer.
9. The synthetic fiber rope according to claim 1 ,
wherein at least one of said first synthetic fiber strands and said second synthetic fiber strands is a laid strand and comprises two or three or more layers of rope yarns.
10. The synthetic fiber rope according to claim 9 ,
wherein said two or three layers of the laid yarn are laid in different directions.
11. The synthetic fiber rope according to claim 1 ,
wherein said synthetic fiber rope comprise high modulus synthetic fibers or blended high modulus synthetic fibers selected from the group consisting of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMwPE or UHMPE), high molecular weight polyethylene (HMwPE or HMPE), aramid, liquid crystal polymer (LCP), and poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole (PBO).
12. The synthetic fiber rope according to claim 1 ,
wherein at least one of said core, said first layer or said second layer comprises two different high modulus synthetic fibers.
13. The synthetic fiber rope according to claim 1 ,
wherein said core, is made by different high modulus synthetic fibers from said first layer and said second layer.
