Lashing Wire

1) Application: Lashing Wire is used in a lasher to lash an aerial cable or combination of cables to a supporting strand.

2) Feature: A specially controlled annealing process yields a uniform, fine grain structure throughout wire length and cross section for best results.

3) The lashing wire is packaged as 6 coils per carton for your ordering convenience, suitable for GMP Machines.

4) Is available in a 430, 302, 304, 316 and other stainless steel alloy

5) Wire size:  0.8-1.60mm

6) Surface:  Bright, Silvery White

7) Temper:  Soft Annealed

Type 430 Stainless

• Low carbon, 17% chromium wire
• Suitable for general use and in ordinary atmospheric exposure
• Will acquire only a dark surface stain
• Specifically not recommended for use within 25 miles of salt water or industrial operations which emit pollutants

Type 304 and 302 Stainless

• 18% chromium, 8% nickel analysis
• This kind of wire has excellent resistance to corrosion from industrial atmospheres
• Its higher tensile strength and breaking load are an added benefit
• A .038 in. diameter Type 302 wire provides strength equal to a .045 in. type 430 wire with better ductility (easier bending and unwinding) and better elongation (less chance of wire breakage from stress)

Type 316 Stainless

• Modified 18-10 analysis containing approximately 2.5% molybdenum
• More resistant to the corrosive action of most chemicals, including chlorides and sulfides, than any other wire
• Particularly resistant to pitting and pin hole corrosion of the kind commonly caused by salt spray
• Its use provides the best insurance against failure under the most severe atmospheric conditions
• All lashing wire is wound in a straight hub configuration to fit all the standard GMP lashers

Buying tip:
When estimating the length of lashing wire required for a cable run, add the following amounts to the length of the run for single lashing.

For double lashing, double the quantity

All can be produced according to customers’ actual requirement.
