Military Specification Cross Reference Guide:
At Strand Core, we manufacture cable to numerous Military Specifications. We are qualified to produce on the following Military Specifications: MIL-DTL-83420, MIL-DTL-87161, MIL-DTL-83410, MIL-DTL-18375, and MIL-W-18242B. In our guide, we provide numerous charts and tables that explain the diameter and construction of each specification and its designated part number for orders.
Wire Rope Stretch:
As every cable or wire rope product in any application will stretch to a certain extent, it is important to know how much your product will stretch. Our stretch page highlights the two forms of stretch that occur in cable and wire rope, and we provide a calculator for you to determine how much stretch will be in your cable. We also include a stretch factor table for numerous types of wire rope products.
Product Packaging Options:
While many companies may attempt to ship strand, cable, wire rope, and cable assembly products with the same type of shipping method, Strand Core knows that the product you purchase should always be shipped in the best method to prevent any damage or issues. Our packaging page highlights the options we have for shipping which include, wooden or plastic reels and coils, bulk boxed shipments, or individually bagged assemblies.
