Industries in the water, oil, and gas world often require drilling wire rope. In the drilling process, different sizes of steel wire rope are used to run and lift various equipment and pipes. The steel wire rope of the rig's lifting system is the most used and consumed wire rope in the drilling site. Drilling wire rope generally uses steel core, not jute core, because jute can’t support strands well and its oil storage is poor. The most commonly used structure for drilling wire rope is 6X19S-IWRC. The service life of drilling wire rope will be greatly shortened due to bad conditions and other factors.
Detailed Information:
1. Common structure: 6X19S-IWRC, 6xK26WS-IWRC, 6xK31WS-IWRC, 35Wx7, 24Wx7, 6x25F-IWRC, 6xK25F-IWRC, etc.
2. Surface treatment: galvanized, bright, oiled, etc. (as requirements)
3. Material: high carbon steel, etc.
4. Diameter:Customized according to customer needs.
5. Breaking load:Customized according to customer needs.
6. Application: Deep drilling, polar drilling, rotary drilling, etc.
7.Certificate & Standard:
Certificate:ABS,LR,CE,CCS,BV,DNV
Standard:GB8919,GB/T 20067, ISO, ASTM, EN, JIS, etc.
Advantages:
1. Lubricated.

7. Good impact resistance.
8. Good structural stability.
WIRE ROPES FOR DRILLING APPLICATIONS:
APPLICATION |
RECOMMENDED WIRE ROPE |
COMMENTS |
Rotary drilling line |
6x26WS-IWRC 6x19S-IWRC |
This demanding application requires a rope that is abrasion resistant, crush resistant, fatigue resistant and relatively stable. |
Sand line |
6x7-FC |
These ropes have larger outside wires to resist wear and help reduce costs. |
Mast raising line |
6x19-IWRC 6x36-IWRC |
Construction selected for balance of wear resistance and durability. Right regular lay or right lang lay is commonly used. Never mix right and left lay mast raising lines. |
Air hoist geronimo tong lone |
6x26WS-IWRC |
Better crushing and abrasion resistance than a 6 x 25 rope. |
Derrick assist block tie back |
6x36WS-IWRC |
Increased bendability and fatigue resistance. |
