Which is a correct statement about flexibility and endurance of ropes? Correct Answer lang lay rope is more flexible and endurable than regular lay rope

Explanation:

  • Due to the longer length of exposed outer wires, lang lay ropes have greater flexibility and abrasion resistance (endurance) than regular lay ropes. 
  • However, greater care must be taken in handling and spooling lang lay ropes. These ropes are more likely to twist and crush than regular lay ropes.
