DIN EN 13411-4:2011

Terminations for steel wire ropes - Safety - Part 4: Metal and resin socketing; German version EN 13411-4:2011

This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements for the molten metal and resin socketing of steel wire ropes within the scopes of EN 12385-4:2002+A1:2008; EN 12385-5:2002; EN 12385-6:2004; EN 12385-7:2002; EN 12385-8:2002; EN 12385-9:2002 and EN 12385-10:2003+A1:2008. The European Standard is applicable only to those requirements that ensure that the socketing is strong enough to withstand a force of at least 100 % of the minimum breaking force of the rope (i.e. socket termination efficiency factor KT = 1,0). Socketing by the methods and materials described in this standard are for use within the temperature limits given in normative Annex E. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to metal and resin socket terminations, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable (see Clause 4).*The standard DIN EN 13411-4 specifies the minimum requirements for the molten metal and resin socketing of steel wire ropes according to DIN EN 12385, parts 4 through 10. The standard only refers to those requirements that ensure that the socketing is strong enough to withstand a force of at least 100 % of the minimum breaking force of the rope (that means, the socket termination efficiency factor K<(Index)T> = 1,0). Socketing by the methods and materials described in this standard are suitable for use within the temperature limits given in normative Annex E. Hazards which are dealt with in this European Standard are given in clause 4. The standard contains safety requirements in clause 5. The European Standard has been prepared by CEN/TC 168 "Chains, ropes, webbing, slings and accessories - Safety", the secretariat of which is held by the BSI (United Kingdom). The responsible national Mirror Committee is Working Committee NA 099-00-04 AA "Drahtseile, Seil-Endverbindungen und Anschlagseile" ("Steel wire ropes, wire terminations and wire rope slings") of NAD.
