FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the
Textile Materials for Marine/Fishing Purposes Sectional Committee,
had been approved by the Textile
Division Council.
The term Combination
Rope is exclusively used for ropes which are made up of fibre yarns and steel
wires in such a way that the strands of rope are covered by a layer of fibre yarns over steel wires.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement
of this standard is complied with, the
final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance
with IS 2 : 1960 Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ). The number of significant places
retained in the rounded off value shall be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

length shall be measured without tension.

8.2.2 Torsion Test

Torsion test shall be carried out in accordance
with IS 1717 : 1985 and the unstranded wires
shall comply with appropriate
requirements of
IS 1835 : 1976 except that the minimum number
of torsions may be 75 percent ( to the nearest
whole number those specified ). When the test
length other than 100 times the diameter is
used, the number of twists shall be proportional

shall be as specified by the buyer.
6.2 The rope shall be of regular right hand lay.
The length of lay of the ropes shall not be more
than 6.5 times the diameter of the rope.
NOTE - The construction
of covered
