Additional Information for Fittings for Rope, Cable, and Chain
NATO Supply Class 4030 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 40, which is dedicated to Rope, Cable, Chain, and Fittings.
NATO Supply Class 4030 specifically focuses on Fittings for Rope, Cable, and Chain. This class includes various types of fittings that are used to connect, secure, or manipulate ropes, cables, and chains in different applications. These fittings are designed to ensure proper functionality, strength, and safety when working with ropes, cables, and chains.
Examples of fittings that fall under NATO Supply Class 4030 include:
1. Shackles: These are U-shaped metal connectors with a pin or bolt across the opening. Shackles are used to connect ropes, cables, or chains together or to anchor points.
2. Hooks: Hooks are curved or bent metal devices with a pointed end that is used to catch or hold onto ropes, cables, or chains.
3. Clips and Clamps: These are devices used to secure or fasten ropes, cables, or chains together. They can be in the form of metal clips, clamps, or wire rope grips.
4. Thimbles: Thimbles are metal or plastic inserts that are placed inside a loop or eye of a rope, cable, or chain to protect it from wear and tear.
5. Turnbuckles: Turnbuckles are adjustable metal devices used to tighten or loosen ropes, cables, or chains. They consist of two threaded eye bolts connected by a central body that can be rotated to adjust the tension.
6. Swivels: Swivels are rotating connectors that allow ropes, cables, or chains to rotate freely without twisting or tangling.
These are just a few examples of the fittings included in NATO Supply Class 4030. The class encompasses a wide range of fittings designed to meet various requirements and applications related to ropes, cables, and chains.
