WIRE ROPE TESTING
Utilizing the expertise and equipment from Rotesco, Domson Engineering & Inspection now provides nondestructive wire rope testing to industry.
Wire rope has long been inspected using visual inspection techniques. Obviously this type of inspection is limited due to the inability to see internal defects or to quantify loss of metal due to corrosion, wear, etc. For more critical wire rope applications, these limitations are not acceptable.
Nondestructive testing technology uses principles of magnetic flux leakage to improve the accuracy of inspection on ferromagnetic (steel) ropes. Using this method, we can detect:
- Internal and external wire breaks
- Loss of metal due to corrosion and wear
- Strand lay distortion
Results from the inspection allow us to provide an estimated percentage loss of breaking strength. Through repeated inspections, we can also provide a trendline indicating the rate of the rope's loss of breaking strength.
Wire ropes can be tested from as small as ¼" diameter up to 4 ½" diameter. We can even test rope where the inner strands are plastic coated. Since the equipment is portable, we can perform inspections at your facility.
Test programs can be devised to:
- Meet regulatory requirements such as for ski lifts, mine hoists, etc.
- Minimize costs related to wire rope replacement by ensuring that the rope has reached its full life before discarding the rope simply because its condition is uncertain
- Improve the safety of your plant or equipment where wire ropes play a factor
