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.

part of the task converts to a condition and part stays on the calendar
Visual and measured inspection with a rope gauge; magnetic rope testing on large or inaccessible ropes
how the condition is observed
Mechanical
asset class
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.
