Method of field forming a loop splice for wire rope

摘要

A method of providing a strong field splice for a wire rope sling, and the like, involving the steps of taking the preformed wire rope and unravelling a selected length of the end of the rope, forming two groups of strands, and reweaving them together in the form of the loop; and when the reweaving is completed, the two remaining ends are woven together to again form the original wire rope. This dead end is clamped to the live portion of the wire rope by means of a streamlined clamp.
