API RP 9B, 14th Edition, October 2015 - Application, Care, and Use of Wire Rope for Oil Field Service

This recommended practice (RP) covers typical wire rope applications for the oil and gas industry.

Typical practices in the application of wire rope to oil field service are indicated in Table 1, which shows the sizes and constructions commonly used. Because of the variety of equipment designs, the selection of constructions other than those shown is justifiable.
