What must be done to each wire rope clip to achieve the stated values for strength?

To ensure that each wire rope clip achieves the stated values for strength, it is essential to torque each clip to the recommended values. This process involves applying a specific amount of force to the nuts on the wire rope clips to ensure a proper fit and secure installation. Adequately torqued clips create the necessary compression on the wire, which helps to optimize the strength and reliability of the connection.

When the wire rope clips are not torqued to the recommended values, they may not hold the wire rope securely, potentially leading to slippage, reduced load-carrying capacity, or even failure. Ensuring proper torque is, therefore, critical to maintaining the integrity of the installation and achieving the desired performance.

Other options, such as lubrication or using larger clips, may improve installation or accommodate different wire rope sizes, but they do not directly impact the required strength values as torque does. Additional fasteners may also be beneficial in certain instances, but they are not a standard requirement for achieving strength in wire rope clips. The primary focus should be on the correct torque application to ensure safety and effectiveness.
