General Information
Overview
EN 12385-9:2002 is a European standard developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) that specifies the safety requirements for locked coil carrying ropes used in cableway installations designed to carry persons. This standard complements the general provisions outlined in Part 1 of EN 12385 by detailing additional materials, manufacturing, and testing criteria specific to locked coil carrying ropes, which are critical components in passenger cableways. It supports compliance with EU directives related to cableway safety and aims to ensure the reliability and performance of steel wire ropes under demanding operational conditions.
Key Topics
- Scope and Application: Focuses on locked coil carrying ropes for passenger cableways, addressing unique hazards and safety concerns.
- Materials Requirements: Mandates steel wire conformity to prEN 10264-3 and lubricant compliance based on ISO 4346 standards.
- Manufacturing Practices:
- Joints in wires must maintain minimum spacing for integrity.
- Ropes require full lubrication during closing operations.
- Outer layers must consist of full lock-shaped wires with strict waviness limits to reduce fatigue.
- Testing and Measurement:
- Waviness tests ensure the rope does not exceed tolerance values, using precise measurement tools.
- Diameter tolerances must be within ± 2% under load, with minimal variation between measurements.
- Minimum breaking force is established and verified via defined testing methods, ensuring rope strength.
- Length mass tolerances are controlled, allowing for precise weight and balance in cableway applications.
- Safety Compliance and Verification: Methods are outlined to verify lubricant quality, rope construction, dimensional consistency, and breaking strength.
- Information for Use: Certificates accompany ropes detailing key specifications such as diameter, breaking force, and joint positions to aid installation and maintenance.
- Harmonization with EU Directives: Aligns with Directive 2000/9/EC on safety requirements for passenger cableways.
Applications
EN 12385-9:2002 applies specifically to locked coil carrying steel wire ropes in cableway installations transporting people. Typical applications include:
- Passenger cable cars in ski resorts or mountainous regions.
- Urban transport systems using aerial cableways.
- Funiculars and gondola lifts where safety and reliability of wire ropes are critical.
- Systems requiring ropes designed to withstand high loading and environmental challenges while ensuring passenger safety.
This standard benefits manufacturers, designers, maintenance personnel, and operators by enforcing consistent safety levels, reducing operational risks, and enhancing the lifespan of cableway rope components.
