Abstract
Visual inspection of wire rope is the most conventional method but it can be inadequate, especially for long rope. Non-destructive evaluation using magnetic methods is an important means for monitoring the performance of haulage rope. A rope tester, used to scan ropes, identifies the loss of metallic area (LMA) and discontinuities such as broken wires or localised faults (LFs). Performing non-destructive evaluation on a regular basis acts as a useful tool for recording the degradation of rope in the installation. In this paper, an attempt has been made to compare the conditions of 36 mm-diameter rope in five aerial ropeway installations using a non-destructive method.
