Answer 2

Popular lay for wire rope:

Explanation:

• The Steel Wire Ropes Lay is the most popular lay type for wire rope.
• It is also known as ordinary lay as well as Lang's lay.
• A lang lay is a lay of a wire rope in which the wires in each strand are twisted in the same direction as the strands in the rope.
• Lang lay is the opposite in direction of the wires and strands spiral in the same direction and appear to run at a diagonal to the center line of the rope.
• Due to the long length of exposed outer wires, lang lay ropes have greater flexibility and abrasion resistance than do regular lay ropes.
• Greater care, anyhow, must be exercised in handling and spooling lang lay ropes.
• These ropes are more likely used to twist, kink, and crush than regular lay ropes.
