Overview - ISO 6482:2017 (Warping end profiles)
ISO 6482:2017 specifies standardized warping end profiles for shipboard deck machinery. It defines the types, nominal sizes, physical dimensions, markings and selection rules for warping ends used on windlasses, mooring winches, capstans and other deck machinery that handle steel wire rope and natural or man‑made fibre ropes. The standard replaces the 1980 edition and adds updated dimensional relations and manufacturing quality requirements.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Profile types: Two profile types are defined - Type C (Common) and Type E (Elongated) - with illustrated profiles and dimensional references.
- Nominal sizes: A range of nominal warping end sizes are listed (examples in the standard: 180 mm up to 1 000 mm), with corresponding dimensional tables for L, R, C, D and other key offsets.
- Selection rules (rope compatibility):
- For steel wire rope: proportional length relation and diameter relation are required (see Clause 5).
- For natural and man‑made fibre rope: separate proportional limits are specified to ensure safe wrapping and rope retention.
- Explicit proportional relations (L/d and D/d) are given for selecting warping end dimensions relative to rope diameter.
- Load calculations: Clause 6 sets out methods to determine the position for maximum shaft torque and the position for maximum bending moment, with referenced formulae and a calculation chart to assess shaft torque and bending moment during design.
- Manufacturing quality:
- Dimensional tolerances: conform to ISO 8062‑3 (DCTG 11) for casting tolerances.
- Surface roughness: to be determined by design based on rope type and warping end material, or specified in contract.
- Designation and marking: Standardized designation format (example: “Warping end ISO 6482‑0630‑L”) for procurement and documentation.
Practical applications and users
Who uses ISO 6482:2017:
- Marine and shipbuilding designers and naval architects specifying deck gear.
- Deck machinery manufacturers (windlasses, mooring winches, capstans).
- Classification societies, shipyards and procurement teams ensuring component interchangeability.
- Maintenance and retrofit engineers selecting replacement warping ends for different rope types.
Practical benefits:
- Ensures compatibility between ropes and warping ends, improving safety and service life.
- Simplifies procurement and inspection with standardized sizes and designations.
- Provides calculation guidance for structural and torque loading on warping end shafts.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
