Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What are the things one should keep in mind before using a lock wire?

A.

• Lock wires shouldn't be installed in such a way that they are subjected to chafing, vibration fatigue or additional tension other than the tension imposed on the wire to prevent loosening.
• Ensure that the units to be locked and wired have been properly torqued.
• Under-torquing or over-torquing to achieve proper hole alignment is not recommended.

Q. Why are wire locking turnbuckles and nuts used?

A. Positive wire locking, often known as safety wiring, is a form of locking mechanism used to secure cap screws, nuts, bolt heads and turnbuckle barrels that cannot otherwise be secured. In locations where vibration could release a bolt, safety wire is required.

Q. What material makes up a Lockwire?

A. Several alloys, including Monel, Inconel, stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminium and even copper are used to make a traditional safety locking wire.
