Full title and description

ISO 10092:1990 — High breaking load steel wire ropes — Specifications. This International Standard specifies a range of round‑strand steel wire ropes designed for applications requiring a higher‑than‑normal strength‑to‑diameter ratio, and gives minimum requirements and designation information for those ropes.

Abstract

Specifies dimensions, construction types and minimum breaking load requirements for high breaking load round‑strand steel wire ropes. The standard defines which rope types are covered and lists specific exclusions (notably mine hoisting, aircraft controls, deep drilling, aerial ropeways and funiculars, lifts and elevators). ISO 10092:1990 was published as a short technical specification and later withdrawn by ISO.

General information

• Status: Withdrawn
• Publication date: December 1990 (1990-12)
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
• ICS / categories: 77.140.65 (wire ropes)
• Edition / version: Edition 1 (1990)
• Number of pages: 3

Scope

Applies to round‑strand high breaking load steel wire ropes produced for applications that require a higher‑than‑normal tensile strength per given diameter. The document sets out the range of constructions and minimum breaking loads for those ropes and excludes specialized rope applications such as mine hoisting, aircraft controls, deep drilling, aerial ropeways and funiculars, and lifts and elevators.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions of the covered round‑strand constructions and core types for high breaking load ropes.
• Nominal diameters and designated rope constructions intended to achieve elevated strength‑to‑diameter ratios.
• Minimum breaking load (MBL) criteria for the specified rope grades and constructions.
• Designation and marking conventions to identify rope construction and performance class.
• Explicit exclusions and intended fields of application to avoid use in certain safety‑critical industries.

Typical use and users

Used by rope manufacturers, product engineers, quality and procurement specialists, rigging and lifting equipment designers, and technical purchasers who specify or supply steel wire ropes for marine, general construction, heavy equipment and other industrial applications where a high strength‑to‑diameter ratio is required. It is not intended for users specifying ropes for mine hoisting, aircraft control cables, elevators/lifts, deep drilling or passenger ropeways.

Related standards

Other ISO and national standards on steel wire ropes and related testing and designation are relevant for complementary information (for example, ISO publications covering vocabulary and classification of wire ropes, testing methods, socketing and installation procedures, and industry‑specific rope requirements). Users should consult the current ISO catalogue or their national standards body for active standards from ISO/TC 105 and any regional/adopted equivalents.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10092:1990 is an International Standard that specified specifications for round‑strand high breaking load steel wire ropes (edition 1, published December 1990). It provided minimum requirements and designation information for ropes intended to give a higher strength‑to‑diameter ratio.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers a defined range of round‑strand steel wire rope constructions and the minimum breaking load requirements for those constructions, together with designation practices. It explicitly excludes ropes intended for mine hoisting, aircraft controls, deep drilling, aerial ropeways and funiculars, and lifts/elevators.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Rope manufacturers, design and application engineers, procurement and quality personnel, and specifiers in industries requiring compact, high‑strength wire ropes for lifting, mooring, winching and other industrial applications (excluding the explicitly listed exclusions).

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 10092:1990 is listed as Withdrawn in the ISO catalogue. Users should not rely on it as a current active standard and should consult the ISO catalogue or their national standards body to identify any current standards or replacements covering high breaking load wire ropes or equivalent subject matter.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It was issued under the work of ISO/TC 105 (Steel wire ropes). While not a multi‑part series itself, it sits among a set of ISO standards addressing wire‑rope vocabulary, testing methods, installation and industry‑specific rope requirements; users should review related ISO/TC 105 publications for the broader normative framework.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: steel wire rope, high breaking load, minimum breaking load, round‑strand, rope construction, rope designation, ISO, wire ropes.
