Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information on various textile cables designed for oceanology and construction applications by Cousin Trestec. These cables are known for their high performance, lightweight nature, and resistance to environmental factors.
Specifications: The document outlines the construction and specifications of different cable types, including KING ROPE®, Aramcabl’, DYNALIGHT®, and COSA® cables. Each type is designed with specific materials like Technora® aramid, Dyneema®, and polyester to enhance performance in demanding environments.
Key Features:
  • KING ROPE®: Known for high breaking strength, lightweight, and exceptional resistance to bending and corrosion. Used in oceanology for mooring and recovery lines.
  • Aramcabl’: Offers high breaking strength, flexibility, and ease of handling. Suitable for moorings and maneuvering ropes.
  • DYNALIGHT®: Features exceptional tensile strength, lightweight, and resistance to chemicals and UV rays. Used in hoist cables, lifting slings, and towing bridles.
  • COSA®: Developed for deep-sea applications with high resistance to abrasion, cuts, and atmospheric agents. Equipped with optical fibers and electrical conductors.
Applications: These cables are used in various applications such as hoist cables, lifting slings, towing bridles, and warp cables. They are preferred over steel cables for their lightweight and flexibility, especially in deep-sea operations.
Advantages: The cables offer numerous advantages including high breaking strength, minimal load elongation, insensitivity to corrosion, and non-magnetic properties. They are also easy to splice and handle, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
Performance Data: The document includes tables with detailed performance data for each cable type, specifying diameter, nominal resistance, and weight in air and sea water.
Conclusion: Cousin Trestec's textile cables are a benchmark in oceanology, offering unique qualities for deep-sea applications. Their collaboration with ocean research institutes ensures that these cables meet the high demands of the industry.

textile cables for oceanology-1

KING ROPE® TEXTILE CABLE ARAMCABL’ TEXTILE CABLE Compact, stable, easy to use Maneuverability, durability, excellent resistance to friction Technora® aramid long-pitch braided core. Polyurethane interface film. Fine braided sheath in high-tenacity polyester. Technora® aramid long-pitch braided core. Polyurethane interface film. Thick braided sheath in polyester multifilament. KING ROPE® is mostly used for hoist cables, given its excellent resistance to bending. Used in oceanology for mooring and recovery lines. In the yachting world, KING ROPE® cable is used for applications in runners, luff of the sail on the hoist, backstays and standing rigging in general. Aramcabl’ ushers in a new generation of powerful cables. It is perfectly suitable for moorings and ropes used during manoeuvring. It can be used in ports where cable steel was previously required by regulations. ADVANTAGES High breaking strength for a diameter similar to that of cable steel Barely any load elongation Extremely lightweight, 4 to 5 times lighter than steel Exceptional resistance to fatigue caused by bending, even when alternately bending and unbending Total insensitivity to corrosion Non-magnetic, it does not cause interference with transmission systems Fully non rotating Chemically neutral, it does not contaminate water samples. ADVANTAGES Lightweight, easy to handle and flexible High breaking strength and high resistance to elongation Does not whip about if ever it breaks Easy to splice Nominal Ø mm resistance Kg 8 2 600 10 3 500 11.5 5 100 13.5 7 000 16 10 500 18 14 000 20 17 500 23 22 500 25 28 000 ©PHOTO COURTESY : Cousin Trestec • Helene Leau / Institut polaire français IPEV • Pierre Sangiardi / Institut polaire français IPEV • Didier Van Haudenhuyse • François Blazquez • DESIGN: PIoIM • Non liable document subject to errors or omissions • COUSIN TRESTEC OCEANOLOGY RANGE TEXTILE CABLES for OCEANOLOGY 8 RUE ABBÉ BONPAIN I 59117 WERVICQ SUD FRANCE www.cousin-trestec.com contact@cousin-tres
