4. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

4.1. Wire Rope Manufacturers Qualifications. The flat wire rope shall be the standard product of a manufacturer regularly engaged in the manufacture of flat wire rope, and shall essentially duplicate products having been in satisfactory use for at least 5 years prior to bid opening. The round wire rope incorporated into the work shall be made in the United States by a member of the Wire Rope Technical Board.

4.2. Load-bearing Capacity. The breaking strength of the flat wire rope shall be guaranteed not be less than 108.9 short tons after deductions for a double serving of stitching wire. All flat wire ropes provided under this contract shall have the same capacity. The flat wire rope shall be constructed from 11 strands of ½” diameter 4 x 19 EIPS wire rope. The elastic limit shall be 50 to 55 percent of the breaking strength.

4.3. Type of Wire Rope. The round wire rope used to manufacture the flat wire rope shall be of the following type:

Strand configuration: 4x19, round strand.

Lay: Alternating right-hand and left-hand regular lay. Adjacent round wire ropes shall be opposite- hand to minimize breakage of stitching wires as the wire rope stretches under load. For flat wire ropes containing an odd number of round wire ropes, the outer wire ropes shall be right-hand lay.

Pitch: Strand pitch length shall not be less than 4½ times the nominal rope diameter, and shall be the same for all round wire ropes used regardless of right- or left-hand lay.

Diameter: 1/2 inch, with a tolerance of -0% and +5%

Finish: Plain (Bright)

Material: Extra improved plow steel.

All wire ropes of a particular lay shall be of one lot (i.e. one lot for right-hand lay and one lot for left-hand lay) to ensure the maximum consistency of materials within the wire rope.

4.4. Pre-Stretching. The Contractor shall pre-stretch the round wire ropes before assembling them into flat wire ropes. This shall be done by subjecting them to three cycles at 40% of its nominal strength. The 40% loads shall be held for 15 minutes each with 5% loads for 5 minutes between cycles. The manufacturer may propose a method of dynamic pre-stretching.

4.5. Wire Strength and Ductility. The Manufacturer shall perform testing in accordance with Federal Specification RR-W-410 to verify wire strength and ductility.

4.6. Stress Relief. The wire rope shall be stress relieved, and the manufacturer shall perform testing in accordance with Federal Specification RR-W-410 to verify stress relief.

— 6 —

4.7. Weld Distribution. Wire joints shall not be closer than 18 inches in any strand.

4.8. Lubrication. The flat wire ropes are to be used for hoisting purposes and a length of the wire rope will be submerged in water at all times. The individual wire ropes shall be constructed using the type and amount of lubrication that the manufacturer typically uses to maximize the service life of the ropes that will be in continuous underwater service.

4.9. Fabrication. The individual wire ropes used to fabricate the flat wire rope shall be stitched together transversely by means of wires inserted and secured between the individual strands of the lay such that the completed transverse stitching is not exposed to wear or damage. Stitching shall ensure that adjacent round wire ropes do not move or twist relative to each other and all strands contribute equally to the load bearing capacity of the whole. The flat wire rope shall be provided with a double serving of one 1/8 inch diameter stitching wire constructed from 7 strands of soft galvanized iron wires within one lay length of the wire rope. The transverse stitching shall be performed in a manner that ensures that the stitching shall not break or loosen when the flat wire rope is wound onto the drum of the gate hoist.

4.10. Dimensions. All flat wire ropes provided under this contract shall have identical dimensions. The finished length of each flat wire rope shall be 390 feet. The flat wire rope shall have a maximum thickness of 3/4-inch. All flat wire rope shall have a maximum width of 5 1/2 inches. The maximum width shall include any seizing wires and/or transverse stitching. However, additional length shall be fabricated on one flat wire rope, sufficient to allow the excess length to be cut off as a sample for destructive testing.

4.11. Seizing. Wire rope ends shall be seized to prevent fraying or un-laying. Each end shall be seized in at least two locations, one location within one wire rope thickness of the finished ends and one location 10 inches away from the end, NOT including the excess lengths fabricated for destructive testing (i.e. the seizing shall be 10 inches from the cut ends after the sample coupon have been cut off). Seizing of adjacent round wire ropes shall be offset to ensure that only one thickness of seizing wire separates adjacent round wire ropes (i.e. seizing on adjacent wire ropes is not). When the end fittings are installed for testing (See “End Fittings” below), the seizing at the finished end of the flat wire rope shall be removed to allow the wire rope and zinc to be placed into the end fittings that will be used, and the seizing 10 inches from the finished end will be used to prevent unraveling the wire rope beyond that point when the wire rope is swaged to the fittings.

The number of complete wraps on each seizing shall be at least equal to the wire rope thickness in eighths of an inch (for example, a three-quarter-inch wire rope shall have at least six wraps of seizing). Ends of the seizing wires shall be twisted together and arranged parallel to the lay of the wire rope around which it is wrapped such that the twisted ends do not protrude above the seizing. Finishing the ends of the flat wire rope by welding, brazing, heating, or by dipping in a plastic compound is not acceptable and shall not be performed.

4.12. Socket Fittings. The wire rope end terminations (sockets) shall be fabricated as indicated on the enclosed drawings, and shall be cast from steel conforming to ASTM A 148/A 148M, Grade 105-85. The socket fittings shall be free of cracks, honeycombing and other defects, and shall have a tensile strength at least equal to the tensile strength of the flat wire rope. End fittings shall be installed on the wire rope test coupon for the break test. Installation shall be performed with the end fittings and wire rope held in a vertical and plumb position to ensure optimum placement of the zinc used to fill the void spaces. End fittings shall be installed such that a pin inserted through the holes opposite

— 7 — the throat of the fitting will be perpendicular to the centerline of the flat wire rope and loads applied will be distributed equally to all strands. Failure to orient the end fitting properly relative to the wire rope may cause some strands of wire to bear a greater proportion of the load than others, leading to failure of the stitching wires due to uneven stretching, and/or failure of the wire rope due to deformation or breakage of overloaded strands.

4.13. Castings. Deviations from the dimensions of castings shown shall not exceed amounts that will impair the strength of castings by more than 10 percent as computed from the dimensions shown, nor below the ultimate strength of the wire rope.

Dimensions of castings shown on detail drawings provided are finished dimensions.

Castings that are warped or otherwise distorted will be rejected. The structure of metal in castings shall be homogeneous and free from excessive nonmetallic inclusions.

Excessive segregation of impurities or alloys at critical points in castings will be cause for rejection. Minor surface imperfections not affecting the strength of casting may be welded in the "green". Surface imperfections will be considered minor when the depth of the cavity prepared for welding is less than 20 percent of the actual thickness.

4.14. Pin Holes. Pin holes shall be bored true to gauges, smooth, straight and at right angles to the axis of the member. The boring shall be done after the member is securely fastened in position.

4.15. Tests, Inspections, and Verifications. Perform material tests and analyses certified by an approved laboratory to demonstrate that materials are in conformity with the specifications. These tests and analyses shall be performed and certified at the Contractor's expense. Perform tests, inspections, and verifications conforming to the requirements of the particular sections of these specifications for the respective items of work unless otherwise specified or authorized.

4.16. Inspection of Steel Castings. Perform radiographic inspection of steel castings.

The procedure for making, evaluating and reporting the radiographic inspection shall conform to the requirements of ASTM E 94. The castings will be unacceptable if shown to have defects of greater severity than the applicable reference standard as illustrated in ASTM E 446. The evaluation of the radiographs will be subject to approval and all records will become the property of the Government.

4.17. Material Substitution. In the event of non-availability of the materials specified, material substitutions are allowable with Government approval, provided all material properties equal or exceed those of the specified material. A request for material substitution shall include complete description of the material properties of the original and substitute materials, with all differences highlighted.

4.18. Attaching Sockets. The Contractor shall attach the end terminations to the wire rope in accordance with the recommendations of FS RR-W-410 Wire Rope and Strand, and the WRTB Wire Rope Users Manual.

4.19. Replacement of Defective Wire Rope. Any wire rope which has been returned for replacement, whether due to defective materials or manufacture or damage during delivery, shall be replaced at no cost to the Government with wire ropes meeting all requirements of these specifications.

4.20. Handling. The flat wire rope shall be wound onto disk-layered spools with the same general dimensions. Each rope shall be crated, boxed or otherwise packaged

— 8 — to the extent necessary to prevent damage during shipment.

4.21. Destructive Testing. The Contractor shall fabricate one flat wire rope to an excess length that provides sufficient additional material to allow a coupon to be cut off one end and used for destructive load testing (pull-testing to failure). The rope sample shall be cut to no less than 3 feet in length, and shall not reduce the remaining length of flat wire rope to less than the required finished length as per the paragraph above entitled “Dimensions”. The test shall be performed using suitable tension testing equipment and by qualified personnel, both furnished by the Contractor. The test will not be considered valid if the failure occurs less than 2 inches from either socket or holding mechanism. Relative speed between the machine heads shall not exceed 1 inch per minute. Prior to delivery, the results shall be recorded for each test, and keyed to the numbers of the wire ropes (“X” of “Y”) marked on the reels. Test results shall be provided with the Certification of Conformance to the Contracting Officer. If any tested sample fails to show an ultimate strength at least equal to 108.9 short tons, the entire length of the wire rope from which the sample was taken shall be discarded and shall be replaced at no cost to the Government. Replacements shall meet all the requirements of these specifications.

4.22. Certification of Conformance. (APR 1984) FAR 52.246-15

(a) When authorized in writing by the cognizant Contract Administration Office (CAO), the Contractor shall ship with a Certificate of Conformance for any supplies for which the contract would otherwise require inspection at source. In no case shall the Government’s right to inspect supplies under the inspection provisions of this contract be prejudiced. Shipments of such supplies will not be made under this contract until use of the Certificate of Conformance has been authorized in writing by the CAO, or inspection and acceptance have occurred.

(b) The Contractor’s signed certificate shall be attached to or included on the top copy of the inspection or receiving report distributed to the payment office or attached to the CAO copy when contract administration (Block 10 of the DD Form

250) is performed by the Defense Contract Administration Services. In addition, a copy of the signed certificate shall also be attached to or entered on copies of the inspection or receiving report accompanying the shipment including the results of the break test for the coupon sample.

(c) The Government has the right to reject defective supplies or services within a reasonable time after delivery by written notification to the Contractor. The Contractor shall in such event promptly replace, correct, or repair the rejected supplies or services at the Contractor’s expense.
