Abstract

The art of wire rope inspection has progressed rapidly over the past few years. Presently available electromagnetic instruments are now much easier to operate and provide an important (in some cases indispensable) element of wire rope inspection. Test data obtained from these instruments can provide accurate quantitative estimates of safety-related wire rope parameters such as loss of metallic cross-sectional area (LMA) and provide a more reliable basis for estimating the condition and remaining service life of a rope. This paper illustrates the use of modern nondestructive test methods to assess the safety of wire ropes in service.
