Abstract

Most common conventional method of rope condition evaluation is visual method i.e. watching the exterior strand and outer surface only. Core damage cannot be detected. To assess the rope condition, magnetic nondestructive method is the most suitable method. Periodic rope assessment is necessary to prevent rope failures and extension of rope life. Flaw detectors in the Magnetic Rope Tester detect LMA (loss in metallic area) and LF (localized faults) [1, 2]. This paper describes the performance of a haulage rope in two years.
