In a 6 × 20 wire rope , number 6 indicates the :

  • A.diameter of the wire rope in mm
  • B.number of strands in the wire rope
  • C.number of wires
  • D.gauge number of wire

Answer: B

The number 6 indicates the number of strands in the wire rope.

A wire rope is designated as strands by wires: a 6 × 20 rope has 6 strands, each made of 20 wires, laid round a core. Common constructions include 6 × 7, 6 × 19 and 6 × 37.

So 6 is not the number of wires (that is the second number), nor the rope diameter or the wire gauge, which are specified separately.
