Rope Splicing

What is rope splicing?
Rope splicing is a method of joining wired rope for permanently. In this method special fitting or attachments are not used.
Broken Rope
Length Decided to splice

•The strength of spliced rope is depends upon the length of splicing and friction between their interlocks.
The length of splicing is directly proportional to diameter of rope.
•For 6-9meters length, the diameter should be 13mm and for 10-15meter length,the diameter should be 25mm of rope.

Q.How rope is spliced?
Ans..Here we will discuss step by step the method of rope splicing.
1. Splicing of Lang's  Lay or Ordinary Lay rope.
•Firstly we have to decide the length of splicing
•Bring the two end of rope, after that we have to open the stands of rope up to twine binding then cut the fibre core.
• In next step we have to cut the alternative strands of both end of rope up to about 30cm from the twin binding.

• Now we have to bring the two faces of rope, so the cores met each other.

• Lash temporarily both end of the rope.
• Gradually unwind the shorter strand of one end of rope and insert the end to other end of rope which longer strand.
• In similar manner all strands of both end of rope are to be lash.
• Move the rope in back and forth until all strands firmly rest in position.
• Stech each tail by removing any spirals.
• With a vice and clamp open the rope at end crossing after that cut the fibre core and tuck it to tail of strand..
Similarly do this job to other tails. By shifting vice and clamp to the nest crossing and hammer with wooden mallet to fix them.
• Repeat this process to the other crossings and the job is complete.

 2. Splicing of flattened strand rope.
As we have learned from the round rope, till the tucking process the method of splicing same.
• The cores of flattened strand rope is smaller than the round rope as compared to same size but the tail should not be bound up to 1.2m length.
A short whipping is mode to retain the wires in strand.
