Magnetic Rope Inspection
The view into the rope
Non-destructive testing of ropes
Magneto-inductive rope testing (MRT) has been THE test method of choice for many years when it comes to non-destructive testing of steel wire ropes of all kinds.
The wire rope is magnetized to magnetic saturation (> 1.9 Tesla). Defects in the rope interfere with this magnetic field, which leads to stray fields that can be measured.
In this way, a large number of rope damages can be detected at an early stage:
- internal and external broken wires
- internal and external corrosion
- clamping points
- grooves
- notches
- structural changes
The test is carried out quickly and easily at a speed of up to 4 m/s (approx. 14 km/h or 13 ft/s). The evaluation of the measurements is subsequently carried out by our experienced inspectors.
All kinds of steel wire ropes testable
All types of steel cables can be magnetically tested by us:
- Conveyor, traction, carrying, tensioning and anchorageropes for cable cars.
- Haulage ropes of ski lifts
- hoisting ropes of cranes, ship hoists, container bridges, excavators, lifts
- Support cables for bridges, transmission masts, cable structures, stadiums, ferries, ZipLines,
- hoisting ropes of observation towers, roller coasters etc.
