Wire rope inspection
A rope is discarded on a count and a diameter, both of which trend. Measure and record them; the trend tells you when the next look is due.
What does a wire rope inspection involve?
Wire rope inspection checks: broken wires per lay length, rope diameter, corrosion and deformation observations. Observed by visual and measured inspection with a rope gauge; magnetic rope testing on large or inaccessible ropes. The discard criteria are measured, so the inspection interval can follow the measured rate of deterioration; the thorough examination of the crane or hoist that carries the rope is statutory and stays.
- Condition that replaces the interval
- Broken wire count over the reference length, diameter reduction below 90% of nominal, or visible corrosion or core protrusion against the ISO 4309 discard criteria
- Reading that proves it
- Broken wires per lay length, rope diameter, corrosion and deformation observations
- Why the interval stays
- The discard criteria are measured, so the inspection interval can follow the measured rate of deterioration; the thorough examination of the crane or hoist that carries the rope is statutory and stays.
- Evidence an auditor accepts
- Rope inspection record per rope with the broken wire count, diameter and the discard decision
- First move
- Record the nominal diameter on the rope register and measure at the same three points each time.
