ISO 4308-1:2003(E)
Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 4308-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 96, Cranes, Subcommittee SC 3, Selection of wire
ropes.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 4308-1:1986), which has been technically
revised.
ISO 4308 consists of the following parts, under the general title Cranes and lifting appliances — Selection of
wire ropes:

Annex B
(informative)

Examples of wire rope selection
B.1 Example 1
A lifting appliance is intended to operate under duty conditions defined in the classification of mechanisms as
M4. The maximum rope tension has been established as 79 kN.
2
The type and grade of the rope to be selected has a K′ value of 0,356 and R value of 1 770 N/mm . From
o
Table 1, the C value is 0,080.
From 6.3 using Equation (2):
1/2
d = 0,080 × (79 000)
min
= 22,486 mm
For practical purposes, the minimum diameter of the rope selected is not to be less than 22,5 mm or greater
than 28,1 mm.
From 6.4 using Equation (3):
Minimum breaking force F = 79 × 4 = 316 kN
min
For practical purposes, the minimum breaking force of the rope selected shall not be less than 316 kN.
B.2 Example 2
The parameters required are similar to those indicated in Example 1, but on this occasion the constructor of
the appliance wishes to employ a smaller rope size to reduce equipment mass, and therefore selects a rope
2
type and grade having a K′ value of 0,497 and R value of 1 960 N/mm .
o
From 6.1 using Equation (1):
1/2
C = [4/(0,497 × 1 960)]
= 0,064 1
corrected to 0,065 (Renard number from R40 series)
1/2
d = 0,065 × (79 000)
min
= 18,270 mm
For practical purposes, the nominal diameter of the rope selected shall not be less than 19 mm or greater than
22 mm.
From 6.4, using Equation (3) as in Example 1:
Minimum breaking force F = 79 × 4 = 316 kN
min

ISO 4308-1:2003(E)
Annex C
(informative)

Other selection aspects
C.1 General
In addition to the selection procedure (Clause 6) and the determination of the diameter of rope drums and
sheaves (Clause 7), other factors may need consideration when selecting the rope class, construction and
type. The final rope selection may have an influence on the design of the mechanism.
C.2 Types of drum and rope selection
C.2.1 Types of drum
C.2.1.1 General
Drums may be either smooth or grooved.
For maximum rope life, the drum should hold the rope in a single layer. In cases where this is not possible,
due to space restrictions, two or more layers are required to accommodate all of the rope.
A grooved drum provides better rope coiling performance and less rope wear than a smooth drum where
multi-layer coiling has to be used.
When multi-layer coiling must be used, it should be realized that after the first layer is coiled onto a drum, the
rope has to cross the underlying rope in order to advance across the drum in the second layer. The points at
which the turns in the upper layer cross those in the lower layer are known as the cross-over points, and the
rope in those areas is susceptible to increased abrasion and crushing.
The drum flanges should project above the last layer of rope by a minimum of 1,5 times the rope diameter.
The direction of coiling of the rope on the drum is important. It should be related to the direction of lay of the
rope (see Figure C.1) and applies to both smooth and grooved surfaces.

(informative)

Examples of wire rope selection
B.1 Example 1
A lifting appliance is intended to operate under duty conditions defined in the classification of mechanisms as
M4. The maximum rope tension has been established as 79 kN.
2
The type and grade of the rope to be selected has a K′ value of 0,356 and R value of 1 770 N/mm . From
o
Table 1, the C value is 0,080.
From 6.3 using Equation (2):
1/2
d = 0,080 × (79 000)
min
= 22,486 mm
For practical purposes, the minimum diameter of the rope selected is not to be less than 22,5 mm or greater
than 28,1 mm.
From 6.4 using Equation (3):
Minimum breaking force F = 79 × 4 = 316 kN
min
For practical purposes, the minimum breaking force of the rope selected shall not be less than 316 kN.
B.2 Example 2
The parameters required are similar to those indicated in Example 1, but on this occasion the constructor of
the appliance wishes to employ a smaller rope size to reduce equipment mass, and therefore selects a rope
2
type and grade having a K′ value of 0,497 and R value of 1 960 N/mm .
o
From 6.1 using Equation (1):
1/2
C = [4/(0,497 × 1 960)]
= 0,064 1
corrected to 0,065 (Renard number from R40 series)
1/2
d = 0,065 × (79 000)
min
= 18,270 mm
For practical purposes, the nominal diameter of the rope selected shall not be less than 19 mm or greater than
22 mm.
From 6.4, using Equation (3) as in Example 1:
Minimum breaking force F = 79 × 4 = 316 kN

Other selection aspects
C.1 General
In addition to the selection procedure (Clause 6) and the determination of the diameter of rope drums and
sheaves (Clause 7), other factors may need consideration when selecting the rope class, construction and
type. The final rope selection may have an influence on the design of the mechanism.
C.2 Types of drum and rope selection
C.2.1 Types of drum
C.2.1.1 General
Drums may be either smooth or grooved.
For maximum rope life, the drum should hold the rope in a single layer. In cases where this is not possible,
due to space restrictions, two or more layers are required to accommodate all of the rope.
A grooved drum provides better rope coiling performance and less rope wear than a smooth drum where
multi-layer coiling has to be used.
When multi-layer coiling must be used, it should be realized that after the first layer is coiled onto a drum, the
rope has to cross the underlying rope in order to advance across the drum in the second layer. The points at
which the turns in the upper layer cross those in the lower layer are known as the cross-over points, and the
rope in those areas is susceptible to increased abrasion and crushing.
The drum flanges should project above the last layer of rope by a minimum of 1,5 times the rope diameter.
The direction of coiling of the rope on the drum is important. It should be related to the direction of lay of the
rope (see Figure C.1) and applies to both smooth and grooved surfaces.

Examples of wire rope selection B.1 Example 1 A lifting appliance is intended to operate under duty conditions defined in the classification of mechanisms as M4. The maximum rope tension has been established as 79 kN. The type and grade of the rope to be selected has a K′ value of 0,356 and Ro value of 1 770 N/mm2. From Table 1, the C value is 0,080. From 6.3 using Equation (2): dmin = 0,080 × (79 000)1/2 = 22,486 mm For practical purposes, the minimum diameter of the rope selected is not to be less than 22,5 mm or greater than 28,1 mm. From 6.4 using Equation (3): Minimum breaking force Fmin = 79 × 4 = 316 kN For practical purposes, the minimum breaking force of the rope selected shall not be less than 316 kN. B.2 Example 2 The parameters required are similar to those indicated in Example 1, but on this occasion the constructor of the appliance wishes to employ a smaller rope size to reduce equipment mass, and therefore selects a rope type and grade having a K′ value of 0,497 and Ro value of 1 960 N/mm2. From 6.1 using Equation (1): C = [4/(0,497 × 1 960)]1/2 = 0,064 1 corrected to 0,065 (Renard number from R40 series) dmin = 0,065 × (79 000)1/2 = 18,270 mm For practical purposes, the nominal diameter of the rope selected shall not be less than 19 mm or greater than 22 mm. From 6.4, using Equation (3) as in Example 1: Minimum breaking force Fmin = 79 × 4 = 316 kN oSIST ISO 4308-1:2012

Other selection aspects C.1 General In addition to the selection procedure (Clause 6) and the determination of the diameter of rope drums and sheaves (Clause 7), other factors may need consideration when selecting the rope class, construction and type. The final rope selection may have an influence on the design of the mechanism. C.2 Types of drum and rope selection C.2.1 Types of drum C.2.1.1 General Drums may be either smooth or grooved. For maximum rope life, the drum should hold the rope in a single layer. In cases where this is not possible, due to space restrictions, two or more layers are required to accommodate all of the rope. A grooved drum provides better rope coiling performance and less rope wear than a smooth drum where multi-layer coiling has to be used. When multi-layer coiling must be used, it should be realized that after the first layer is coiled onto a drum, the rope has to cross the underlying rope in order to advance across the drum in the second layer. The points at which the turns in the upper layer cross those in the lower layer are known as the cross-over points, and the rope in those areas is susceptible to increased abrasion and crushing. The drum flanges should project above the last layer of rope by a minimum of 1,5 times the rope diameter. The direction of coiling of the rope on the drum is important. It should be related to the direction of lay of the rope (see Figure C.1) and applies to both smooth and grooved surfaces. oSIST ISO 4308-1:2012

Autres aspects de choix
C.1 Généralités
En plus de la procédure de sélection (Article 6) et de la détermination du diamètre des tambours à câbles et
des poulies (Article 7), d'autres coefficients peuvent être pris en considération lors du choix de la classe du
câble, de sa construction et de son type. Le choix final du câble peut avoir une influence sur la conception du
mécanisme.
C.2 Types de tambours et choix du câble
C.2.1 Type de tambours
C.2.1.1 Généralités
Les tambours peuvent être lisses ou rainurés.
Pour une durée de vie maximale, il convient de laisser une seule couche sur le tambour. Dans le cas où cela
n'est pas possible à cause d'un manque de place, deux ou trois couches sont nécessaires pour recevoir tout
le câble.
Avec un tambour rainuré l'enroulement du câble est meilleur et l'usure du câble est moindre qu'avec un
tambour lisse en cas d'enroulement sur plusieurs couches.
Lors d'un enroulement sur plusieurs couches il faut prendre conscience que celui-ci doit être effectué après
que la première a été enroulée sur le tambour, par un croisement du câble avec le câble sous-jacent afin
d’effectuer une deuxième couche de câble sur le tambour. Les points auxquels les tours dans la couche
supérieure croisent ceux de la couche inférieure sont connus en tant que points de croisement, et le câble en
ces endroits est sujet à des abrasions et à des écrasements accrus.
Il convient que les flasques des tambours dépassent la dernière couche de câble d'au moins 1,5 fois le
diamètre du câble.
Le sens d'enroulement du câble sur le tambour est important. Il convient que le sens d'enroulement prenne en
compte la direction de la couche de câble (voir Figure C.1) et s'applique sur les surfaces aussi bien lisses que
rainurées.

C.2.1.2 Tambours lisses
L'enroulement d'un câble sur un tambour lisse nécessite une attention particulière.
Tout relâchement de l'enroulement ou irrégularité dans l'enroulement engendre une usure, un écrasement et
une déformation excessifs du câble.
C.2.1.3 Tambours rainurés
Avec les tambours rainurés, la couche de câble supérieure s'enroule correctement et les rainures donnent un
degré de support du câble, réduisant ainsi la pression de contact.
Il y a deux formes de rainures:
a) rainures en spirale, usinées en spirale continue autour du cylindre, assurant un enroulement satisfaisant
de la première couche de câble;

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
ISO 4308-1:2003(F)
b) rainures parallèles, usinées parallèlement aux flasques du tambour.
Une section de la périphérie du cylindre du tambour est soit uniforme soit rainurée en spirale afin de
faciliter le transfert du câble d'une rainure parallèle à la suivante. Cette forme de rainurage est utilisée
pour les enroulement sur plusieurs couches afin de réduire les dommages aux points de croisement.
La relation entre le diamètre du câble et le diamètre du tambour et entre le pas de la rainure du tambour et le
type de rainurage est importante.
Il convient que le contour du fond des rainures soit circulaire et il est recommandé de prendre comme valeur
du rayon de rainure, r, une valeur comprise entre 0,525 d et 0,550 d, avec 0,537 5 d comme optimum
(voir Figure C.2).

C.2.2 Aide d'enroulement
Lors de l'utilisation des tambours lisses ou des tambours à rainures parallèles et à sections de croisement
lisses, des flancs ou des strips de démarrage peuvent être utilisés pour guider le câble sur le cylindre dans
une position correcte lors de l'enroulement au début du deuxième tour.
De façon similaire, les plaques de côté peuvent être utilisées afin d'assurer un enroulement correct de la
deuxième couche et des suivantes.
Si l'utilisation d'une aide quelconque à l'enroulement est envisagée, il convient de consulter le fabricant du
câble et/ou du tambour.

C.2.3 Choix du câble
Généralement il convient de limiter l'utilisation d'un câble à âme textile à l'utilisation sur un tambour à
enroulement à une seule couche. Lorsqu'un enroulement sur plusieurs couches est nécessaire, il est
recommandé d'utiliser des câbles à âme en acier.
Les câbles à âme en acier sont moins susceptibles de se déformer que ceux avec âme en fibre, lors d'un
enroulement sur plusieurs couches.
Les câbles réalisés avec des torons externes compactés ont une résistance supérieure contre l'écrasement et
la torsion.
Les câbles imprégnés de plastique peuvent être utilisés pour réduire les déformations et l'entrée d'humidité
due aux conditions environnementales.
Il convient de choisir correctement le diamètre de câble en fonction des dimensions des rainures du tambour,
en particulier du pas de la rainure.
C.3 Poulies, galets et choix du câble
C.3.1 Généralités
Les poulies sont utilisées lorsqu'il est nécessaire de modifier la direction du câble dans une machine ou un
système. Il convient que les poulies soient en roue libre et qu'elles soient conçues afin d'offrir un support
adapté au câble tout en évitant des contraintes de flexion, des pressions radiales et des effets d'inertie
excessifs. Lorsque la flexion alternée est utilisée, un laps de temps (0,25 s minimum) est recommandé pour
permettre au câble de récupérer de la flexion avant l'enroulement dans la flexion inverse.
Les poulies et les galets peuvent avoir des surfaces de rainures endommagées prématurément si les câbles
choisis entraînent un dépassement du critère de conception des matériaux impliqués.
Les poulies traditionnelles sont fabriquées à partir de matériaux ferreux, mais l'utilisation de poulies en
plastique ou de poulies avec des inserts en plastique est en augmentation. Pour beaucoup d'utilisations, les
poulies en plastique et à insert augmentent la durée de vie du câble, mais il peut y avoir des changements
dans le mode de détérioration du câble. S'il n'y a aucun moyen pratique de reconnaître les changements dans
le mode de détérioration du câble, il est recommandé d'inclure au moins une poulie d'un matériau ferreux
dans le dispositif d'enroulement.
C.3.2 Profil des rainures de poulies
Pour une durée de vie optimale du câble, il convient d'apparier correctement le profil de rainure des poulies
avec le diamètre du câble.
Si la rainure est trop petite, le câble est «pincé» en entrant en force dans la rainure sous l'influence de la
charge, ce qui endommage le câble ainsi que la poulie.
Si la rainure est trop large, il y a un soutien insuffisant du câble, qui peut s'aplatir ou se déformer sous charge
et accélérer ainsi la détérioration du câble.
Il convient que le rayon de la rainure, r, soit compris dans la plage de 0,525 d à 0,550 d, avec 0,537 5 d
comme optimum, d étant le diamètre du câble.
Il convient que les rainures des poulies aient un fini lisse, exempt d'arête, de profondeur ne dépassant pas
1,5 fois le diamètre nominal du câble. Il convient que le profil au fond des rainures soit circulaire. Il convient
que l'angle entre les côtés de la poulie, ω, (voir Figure C.3) soit compris entre 30° et 60°, mais il peut être
supérieur si l'angle de déviation excède les valeurs recommandées en C.4.
NOTE Pour les grues mobiles, la dernière phrase de ce paragraphe peut ne pas s'appliquer, en particulier en cas
d'enroulement du câble dans un ensemble de poulies télescopiques.

C.3.3 Galets de câble
Des galets de câbles peuvent être installés à des intervalles appropriés lorsque cela est nécessaire pour
supporter le câble sur un long caténaire afin d'empêcher le contact avec la structure de la machine. Les galets
ne sont généralement pas prévus pour dévier ou changer la direction du câble à cause de leur petit diamètre
qui soumettrait le câble à des fortes contraintes de flexion et compression inacceptables et pourraient
engendrer des torsions dans le câble.
La fragilisation de la surface du câble peut être due à l'utilisation des poulies et des galets en acier sur
lesquels un câble fléchit à grande vitesse ou à des changements de vitesse rapides
