Price based on 4 pages FOREWORD Iso (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards institutes (Iso Member Bodies). The work of developing International Standards is carried out through Iso Technical Committees. Every Member Body interested in a subject for which a Technical Committee has been set up has the right to be represented on that Committee. International organizations governmentail and non-governmental, in liaison with IsO, also take part in the work. Draft International Standards adopted by the Technical Committees are circulated to the Member Bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by the ISO Council. InternationalStandardISO3156wasdrawnupbyTechnicalCommitteISO/TC82 Mining, and circulated to the Member Bodies in August 1973. It has been approved by the Member Bodies of the foilowing countries : Austria Germany South Africa, Rep. of Belgium Hungary Spain Bulgaria India Sweden Chile Ireland Thailand Czechoslovakia Netherlands Turkey Egypt, Arab Rep. of Poland United Kingdom France Romania Yugosiavia No Member Body expressed disapproval of the document. @ fnternational Organization for Standardization, 1976 Printed in'Switzerland INTERNATIONALSTANDARD ISO3156-1976(E) Stranded wire ropes for mine hoisting --- Impregnating compounds, lubricants and service dressings - Characteristics and tests 1 SCOPEANDFIELDOFAPPLICATION e) theyshall be resistant to significant age embrittlement; This International Standard specifies the nature and properties of impregnating compounds and lubricants for f) they shall not contain any additive or compound stranded wire ropes for mine hoisting, together with the which, in combination with moisture in any of its forms, corresponding test methods. In particuliar, it is concerned could form products inherently corrosive to steel or with zinc, or detrimental to the fibres comprising the rope or to the puliey lining; a)impregnating compounds forfibremain cores,fibre covers, and fibre inserts; g) they shall not contain any additive or compound which,dueto degradationby eitherheat orexposureto b) lubricants used in manufacture; natural sunlight, couid form products inherently c) service dressings. corrosive to steel or zinc, or detrimental to the fibres comprising the rope or to the pulley linings; The different requirements for the two basic types of h) if solvents are used, they shall not contain benzene winder (Koepe or drum)are recognized where significant. or chlorinated hydrocarbons; i) they shall not be injurious in any way to personnel 2 GENERALREQUIREMENTS using them if reasonable safety precautions and procedures are used. The lubricants and impregnating compounds used in the rope shall meet the following requirements : Additionally,for Koepe winding ropes, the lubricant and lubricating systems shall meet the following requirements a) they shall contain a non-volatile base material, which under normal operating conditions : may be dispersed in a petroleum solvent; j) the tendency for exudation of lubricant tothe b) they shall be homogeneous and shall, if heating is surface of the rope shall be minimal; required for application, return to substantially the same state after heating as before heating, i.e. they shall be k) the coefficient of friction between
