4 Classification
4.1 Type
Depending on the construction, universal fairleads shall be classified as belonging to one of the following four types:
a) Type 4R: with one rope-passing opening;
b) Type 5RL: with one rope-passing opening with an additional guide roller on the left side;
c) Type 5RR: with one rope-passing opening with an additional guide roller on the right side;
d) Type 7R: with two rope-passing openings.
4.2 Nominal sizes
The nominal sizes, D n , of universal fairleads are denoted by reference to the outside diameter of the main roller, in millimetres, in terms of the nearest number drawn from a basic series of preferred numbers. For the universal fairleads having the same roller diameter, the code, i.e. 4R, 5RL, 5RR or 7R, is followed by the nominal size for the different SWLs.BS ISO 13733 pdf download.
