| PHILLYSTRAN® CORONA SOCKETS - previous page | 364-2/06 |
| An important feature of Phillystran broadcast tower guying systems is their convenient, reliable and highly efficient terminations. These corona-protected, potted end fittings solve the complex electrical and mechanical problems associated with terminating synthetic tower guys. Phillystran engineers have incorporated years of experience and first-hand knowledge of every kind of broadcast tower into these designs. The aramid rope fibers at the end of the guy are spread out and inserted into an end fitting that has no sharp or rough edges where corona might occur. A specially formulated resin socketing compound is poured into the fitting and hardens to form a bond that is as strong as the guy at any point along its length. The socketed ends are sealed with a silastic adhesive to guard against moisture absorption. Phillystran engineers can recommend the exact end fitting to meet the specifications of any broadcast tower. Phillystran cut-to-length preassembled systems can replace existing steel guys without essential modification of the tower. |

| CAUTION: Break Strength: The breaking strength of a rope is the load at which a new rope will break when tested under laboratory conditions. Break strength should not be mistaken for safe working load. Safe Working Load: Because of the wide range of rope use, rope condition and the degree of risk of life or property, it is not possible to make a blanket recommendation for safe working load. It is ultimately dependent on the rope user to determine what percentage of break strength is their own safe working load. Wear: Ropes wear out with use; the more severe the usage, the greater the wear. It is often not possible to detect wear on a rope by visible signs alone. Therefore, it is recommended that the rope user determine a retirement criteria for ropes in their application. For assistance in developing safe working load and retirement criteria for each application please call or write Phillystran, Inc.
