Compacted Strand stainless steel wire is designed for high performance shrouds, backstays and forestays on sailboats and yachts committed to racing or extended/performance cruising.
The dyformed compact strand structure delivers lower stretch and higher break loads per given diameter than standard 1x19 wire.
The increase in performance comfortably offsets the minimal weight increase.
2.5mm, 3mm and 4mm diameters are available in 1x7 construction ~ 5mm up to and including 12mm diameter is manufactured in 1x19 construction ~ 14mm diameter and larger is manufactured in 1x36
Jimmy Green Marine currently source all their Compacted Strand wire from Petersen Stainless.
Petersen Compact Strand:
Manufactured in Europe from high quality European AISI 316 stainless steel grade 1.4401
Polished in the fully austentic condition to give maximum corrosion resistance
Jimmy Green Marine operate a strict accountability process for every reel of wire that the Jimmy Green Rigging Team use and record the corresponding batch number on every rigging order.
Traceability is an important feature of the Jimmy Green assurance policy: STAINLESS STEEL WIRE - QUALITY CONTROL AND CARE
You can therefore be reassured that your rigging will only be made up from top quality fully accredited Petersen Stainless wire.
All wire terminals are roller swaged onto the wire using Wiretechnik Roller Swaging Technology.
Swaging is available in wire diameters from 2.5mm up to 12mm diameter (up to 10mm on site)
All copper ferrule terminations are fitted onto the wire using Cabco Talurit Hydraulic Press Machines.
Wire Termination from 2mm up to 8mm diameter is carried out on site.
WireTechnik and Cabco Talurit are acknowledged throughout the marine industry as the leading manufacturers for top quality, reliable wire termination.
Jimmy Green Marine offer the full range of Sta-Lok and Petersen swage terminals e.g. eye, forks, tees, strap toggles plus all manner of turnbuckle and backstay insulator options. Terminals from Selden, Hasselfors, Bluewave, Navtec and OS/BSI are also available
Prices include swaging onto the wire.
