	The field of tensile architecture is exacting and precise, its success demanding the aggregation of knowledge and experience. Specializing in high quality tensile cable and rod solutions in stainless and carbon steels, Ronstan tendons have applications in advanced lightweight tension structures be they glazed facades, fabric architecture, cable nets, grids and shell structures, or anywhere an aesthetic solution is required for the efficient transfer of load. Cables and rods are used for bracing; trussing, suspension and tie back applications, for balustrade, landscape and merchandizing applications. Stainless steel is typically specified for highest performance, but manufacturer also provides an attractive mild steel with a zinc-plated finish which is suitable for painting. A high-performance Galfan finish is available in larger sizes starting at 3/8 inch (10 mm) diameter for Rod systems.

	1.4	DEFINITIONS
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS: Factor of Safety: An appropriate factor of safety should be applied to the Breaking Load figures to suit each application before choosing or specifying a particular product. For many industrial and safety related applications, a factor of safety greater than two (2) should be used or may be required by law or other regulations. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that an appropriate factor of safety is used, and it should allow for safety implications, service life, fatigue (as may be caused by wave action, wind stresses or repetitive cyclical loading), type of load, exposure to ultraviolet light, corrosion and stress corrosion. Note that Ronstan does not specify a 'safe working load' as this is dependent on the factor of safety, which must be determined by the user relative to each application. Useful Life: The useful life of any product is determined by the above factors and must be assessed in each application, and thus no guarantee can be provided for product life, load capacity or any other factor due to the variability in usage. In some jurisdictions government regulations require the replacement of components within certain periods of time, usually every three to five years. You must ascertain whether any such regulations affect you. Whilst Ronstan takes every precaution in their product design and manufacturing processes to minimize the effects of corrosion and stress corrosion, there are also preventative as well as corrective treatments that can be carried out after installation. Contact your local Ronstan representative for further assistance and advice. Product Information Amendments: All catalogue information was correct at the time of publication, but changes may occur during a product's life-cycle. Any alterations will be posted on the website and the website issue date amended accordingly. Please compare issue dates of the website and catalogue, to ascertain the latest information. If there is any doubt to the specification of a product, consult your local Ronstan sales office for confirmation.
		A.	Maximum Working Load (MWL) is the maximum static and/or dynamic load at which the product will still function without excessive friction, distortion, wear or permanent deformation of components. Above this load, bearing systems may fail, moving parts may seize and stainless steel or plastic components may begin to bend, stretch or otherwise deform. Maximum working loads shall not exceed half of the breaking load, and shall not be exceeded by maximum design loading.
		B.	Breaking Load (BL) is the published approximate load at which a major failure can be expected to occur to some part of the structure when new. Plastic components may split, rivets may give way, shackles may break, and other metallic components may fracture. Products shall not be used at more than half of the breaking load, to provide a minimum safety factor of two. The consulting engineer shall confirm that an appropriate safety factor is employed for the purpose of the intended application and consistent with all regulations and standards.
		C.	Minimum Yield Load (MYL) is the maximum static and/or dynamic load at which the product will still function without distortion, wear or permanent deformation of components. Above this load, moving parts may seize and stainless steel may begin to bend, stretch or otherwise deform. Yield loads should never be exceeded in use.
		D.	Ultimate Load (UL) is the load at, or around which, a major failure can be expected to occur to some part of the product's structure when new.
		E.	The Maximum Working Loads, Breaking Loads, Minimum Yield Loads and Ultimate Loads detailed in this specification should only be considered in the context of the project application. The consulting engineer shall confirm that an appropriate safety factor is employed for the purpose of the intended application and consistent with all regulations and standards.

It is recommended that the manufacturer be contacted for assistance and advice in the specifying of architectural systems. Delete materials not required. ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** How to select your Ronstan Cable Tension System:
	Step 1: Select material type (stainless steel or carbon steel) for preferred aesthetic appearance and corrosion protection. Step 2: Refer to specific system information selected from manufacturer's literature to find preferred material type and system. Step 3: Match required loads to the appropriate published cable diameter system loads and select the cable terminations for connection details. In determining the appropriate cable/wire diameter size, consult with a structural engineer, as well as local design codes to apply the appropriate factory of safety to the manufacturer's published Ultimate Break Load information. Step 4: Calculate final tendon lengths allowing for tensioning with wire fittings 2/3 open (i.e. 1/3 of the thread length engaged). This will ensure optimum adjustment is available in both directions. The length of the cable should be measured from center pin to center pin, or center of eye to center of eye, etc. Step 5: Length of cable will determine terminations (i.e. one or two turnbuckles). Contact Ronstan to locate your nearest dealer, for further assistance and advice.
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** How to select your Ronstan Rod Tension System:
	Step 1: Select material type (stainless steel or carbon steel) for preferred aesthetic appearance and corrosion protection.

	2.2	CABLE ASSEMBLIES - RAILING AND SPECIALIZED BALUSTRADING, STAINLESS STEEL
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Select system type from the following examples. XX in the text refers to the underlined two-digit number for the cable diameter listed in the subparagraph. Cable systems generally need to be adjustable to provide tension. Contact manufacturer/fabricator for additional tendon and fitting combinations. System option can be determined by run length. The diameter of the cable and run of cable will generally determine the type and quantity of termination hardware. Contact manufacturer for specific run lengths and appropriate systems capable if not noted below. Tamper-resistant terminations help to prevent cable loosening and theft. Contact manufacturer for more details. Delete system and assembly not required. ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** To meet the typical code requirement to prevent a 4 inch (102 mm) sphere from passing through the assembly under load, space horizontal cables 3 inches (76 mm) on center. Cables shall be tensioned to 200 to 250 pounds with intermediate balustrades every 48 inches typical; families of hardware are designed for specific lengths. Contact manufacturer for more details. ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** The more wires and strands in cable, the more flex, stretch and less strength. Use 1 x 19 for architectural and structural applications and for balustrade. Where multiple bends are required, bends greater than 30 degrees or angles, revise text to use wires/strands to 7 x 7. Diameter of cable is determined by breaking load required for a given task. For Structural applications (non-balustrading) Project engineer should determine required breaking load.
