QUALITY OF STEEL WIRE ROPES, SAFE SERVICE AND FORECASTING OF WORKING LIFE THEREOF

RoundTable – HOW SAFE IS A ROPE? – Krakow 1981

 Since several years there have been noticed methodical and intensive introduction into research laboratories and institutes – both in this country and in quite a few countries overseas - of the more and more advanced machinery and equipment [3, 4] for ·testing of steel wire ropes. Simultaneously there have been introduced the most sophisticated testing equipment testing of working steel wire ropes. Has there have not been noticed equally dynamic advances in the testing and control of wires and steel wire ropes quality during the manufacturing process. So has 'been methodically weakened the very first most fundamental stage of the whole testing cycle which is indispensable for the forecasting of working time of steel wire ropes.
