Hi All
We have a rope lubricator and when we do tests we find that on the same rope size and pattern we use different volumes of lubricant.has any one an idea of a simple calculation to get a budget lubricant volume to be used per type of rope.
The barrel system is the same as Mesto and kirkpatrick we use an air pump to pump the grease into the chamber and the rope travels through the cavity the barrel.

many Thanks
Robert
