Product Description

Product Description

Tubular Thimble Pipe Thimbles (with Gusset)
Tubular Thimble is made with strong tubular construction and galvanized or thermoplastic powder coating for longer service life. It is heavy duty and usable for wire rope and synthetic ropes, also know as semi-closed thimble. Tubular Thimble Pipe Thimbles are stronger than the standard thimbles and offer better protection for ropes. Gusset is welded to thimble on one side to prevent the thimble from collapsing.
Material: Carbon steel
Surface finish: Hot dip galvanized
Application: Spliced Rope, Wire Rope Sling, Marine Mooring Rope, Aquaculture Mooring Rope

FAQ

 

1. What is the primary purpose of a tubular pipe thimble?
   The main purpose is to protect ropes, cables, or wires from abrasion where they pass through or connect to tubular structures. It also distributes mechanical loads evenly to prevent damage and extend component life.
2. What materials are tubular pipe thimbles made from?
   Common materials include stainless steel (304/316), galvanized carbon steel, and aluminum. Stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance for marine or coastal use, while galvanized steel is ideal for general industrial applications.
3. How do I choose the right size for my rope or cable?
   Select a thimble with an inner diameter slightly larger than the rope/cable diameter (e.g., 1-2mm clearance) to ensure smooth passage without excessive play. Refer to manufacturer for standard sizes matching rope diameters (e.g., 8mm rope → 10mm ID thimble).
4. Can tubular pipe thimbles be used in high-load applications?
   Yes, provided they are rated for the intended load. Most thimbles have a Working Load Limit (WLL) specified by the manufacturer, typically ranging from 0.5 tonnes to 50+ tonnes, depending on material and size. Always verify the WLL against your application's requirements.
5. Are tubular thimbles suitable for outdoor or marine environments?
   Stainless steel thimbles are highly recommended for marine or outdoor use due to their resistance to saltwater, UV rays, and atmospheric corrosion. Galvanized steel thimbles work well in less harsh environments but may require periodic maintenance.
6. How are tubular pipe thimbles installed?
   • Insert the rope/cable end through the thimble's bore.
   • Secure the rope using a splice, clamp, or mechanical fitting (e.g., cable lug).
   • Ensure the thimble is aligned with the load path to avoid stress (eccentric loading).
7. Do I need to lubricate the thimble for rope movement?
   Lubrication (e.g., marine grease or silicone spray) is optional but can reduce friction and wear for frequently moving ropes. Avoid using harsh chemicals that may degrade the rope or thimble material.
8. What's the difference between a tubular thimble and a forged thimble?
   • Tubular thimbles are cylindrical, hollow, and often seamless, ideal for guiding ropes through pipes or rigging eyes.
   • Forged thimbles are solid, U-shaped fittings (e.g., wire rope thimbles) used to form a loop in the rope end. Tubular thimbles are better suited for through-pipe applications.
9. How do I inspect a tubular pipe thimble for damage?
   Regularly check for:
   • Cracks, dents, or deformations in the body.
   • Wear or corrosion on the inner surface (especially where the rope contacts).
   • Loose fit or misalignment with the rope/cable. Replace immediately if damage is detected.
10. Are there international standards for tubular pipe thimbles?
    Yes, common standards include:
    • ASTM A105 for carbon steel thimbles in industrial use.
    • ISO 4007 for marine rigging components (related to thimble performance in maritime applications).
    • Manufacturer specifications often comply with regional safety codes (e.g., CE, OSHA).
