| Abstract | In Brazil, the use of synthetic ropes for mooring platforms in deep and ultra deep water has increased. So, the knowledge of the behavior of materials used for the anchoring is very important and motivates our study. A considerable problem with synthetic ropes on load in service is the friction among multifilaments. Apparently to reduce the friction it is applied a lubricant product called Marine Finish. In this study, was investigated the abrasive behavior of polyester multifilament yarn-on-yarn in air environment, with and without the use of this lubricant. To perform it, were taken into account standards rules like as CI - Cordage Institute and ASTM - American Society for Testing and Materials. The apparatus and devices used for the experiments was made into POLICAB and for the specimens tested was follow the same procedures used by Talgatti, O.L. & Chimisso, F.E.G.. The specimens tests were performed with loads changing from 2% to 6% of the YBL (Yarn Break Load), the tensile strength of multifilament, with constant increment. For both tests (with and without marine finish), curves of life were obtained. This paper aims to present the results of the two specimens used and to verify if they are agree with the suggestions of standards. |
