How to find mooring wire Grade or MBL pressure?
(OP)
Hi,
I need to cut a mooring wire and my cutter says it will cut a wire rope of 1770N/mm^2 or Grade 180. However, I only know the wire rope is diameter 90mm, 39.6kg/m and has a nominal breaking strength of 6800kN. How do I determine the grade or breaking stress of my wire rope?
Thanks

If this is a wire in use it should have certification to go with it. This might also give you the information you need.

I do have a reference number for the certificate but it may be awhile before I can get it.
I have the Webtool RCV115 available to me. It can cut upto 115mm diameter wires so I am at about 78% of that for the diameter. Any experience with this tool?
Thanks

I just found the report. The Steel grade is 1620N/mm^2 and all is good.
Thanks
