How many wires per strand could a wire rope that is classified as 6x19 have?

A wire rope classified as 6x19 consists of 6 strands, with each strand containing a specific number of wires. The "19" in the classification indicates that each individual strand contains 19 wires.

This means that in total, the wire rope is designed to have 6 strands, each containing 19 wires, which would amount to a total of 114 wires in the rope (6 strands x 19 wires per strand). The classification "6x19" is commonly used in the industry to describe ropes that have a construction size within this range, indicating a robust structure suitable for various lifting applications.

The choice that identifies 15 through 26 wires per strand aligns with the number of wires typically found in a strand of wire rope classified as 6x19, making it the most accurate option. It highlights the expected variability found in industrial applications and the design of wire ropes, ensuring that the rigger is aware of the structural characteristics of the equipment they are working with.
