About this product
The Beaver G316 Stainless Steel Wire Rope - 7x7 in 5mm is a marine grade stainless rope for fixed rigging jobs like balustrading and safety barrier rail. The 5mm diameter sits in the middle of the 7x7 range, giving you a minimum breaking force of 14.64kN at around 9.84kg per 100m, so it carries real load without being heavy to handle or hard to tension on a long run.
Grade 316 stainless holds up better than G304 where salt is involved, which makes it the pick for boats, jetties, coastal balustrades and waste management gear. It is also clean enough for food and pharmaceutical processing work. The 7x7 construction is right hand ordinary lay and fairly stiff, so it stays put once tensioned. That stiffness is the reason it suits static rigging rather than running lines over sheaves.
Common questions
- What is the breaking strain of 5mm 7x7 stainless wire rope?
- This 5mm Beaver G316 rope has a minimum breaking force of 14.64kN. That is a breaking figure, not a working load limit, so apply your own design factor.
- Is G316 better than G304 stainless for saltwater?
- Yes. G316 is marine grade and has higher corrosion resistance than G304, so it performs better in salt water and harsher corrosive conditions.
- Can I use 7x7 wire rope for balustrading?
- That is exactly what it suits. The 7x7 construction is not very flexible, which makes it a good choice for fixed rigging such as balustrading and safety barrier rail.
