ANDROMEDA FLAT WOVEN STEEL SLINGS TEST NO. 0749 DATE. 020624 General information about Andromeda Flat Woven Steel Slings 1. Ferrules: FLAT WOVEN SLINGS FLAT WOVEN SLING S 3. The Tag System: This side shows the WLL for various configurations Please note that points 3 and 4 relate to Superflex Slings and Strops as well. F 2. Protective Jackets: Flat woven slings can come with a synthetic protective cover upon request. This cover is placed over the woven section of the sling or tailored to precise dimensions, serving as a shield to safeguard against the steel sling and the load being lifted. All FWS come equipped with aluminium alloy ferrules that meet the EN 13411 standard unless stated otherwise. These ferrules feature chamfers at both ends, designed to facilitate handling in confined spaces, achieved through the use of specialized dies. Additionally, we offer low deformation (LD) steel ferrules found on Superflex Slings. The standard tags consist of 1.0mm steel and are securely affixed using steel cord swaged into the ferrule. Each tag includes: Manufacturer's name (Andromeda) Sling size and type (nominal width) Working Load Limit (WLL) for different uses Test number and date if proof loaded. These tags are durably and firmly attached. 4. Proof Loading: Performed according to AS 1666.1 requirements, these slings are treated as wire rope slings. Typically, this process is done using the sling in a Single Fall configuration and loaded to the specified force indicated in the relevant table. During proof loading, the sling tag will display the Test Number for the batch and the date. The Test Certificate will include the invoice number, applied proof load, test date, declaration of compliance with NATA and AS 1666.1, the WLL of the woven strap, sling size, number of slings in the test series, manufacturer, and the testing facility. 5. Stainless Steel Slings: Available in 100mm, typically equipped with copper ferrules, although steel ferrules are an option. Stainless steel ferrules designed to Andromeda's LD system can be custom-made for specific quantities. 6. U Terminations: This fitting offers a sturdy and highly durable end point for commonly used slings. Andromeda has developed its manufacturing and assembly techniques. Typically crafted from alloy steel, certain sizes can also be produced in stainless steel. 7. Nominal Size: This width is determined by the cord size, for example, 24x3 equals 76. The actual width can fluctuate based on the tightness of the weave, whether it is crafted by hand or machine. Nonetheless, the cable's strength is determined by the cord diameter rather than the sling's width. 25
