How to check the performance of wire rope rigging

The main content of the inspection is to identify the appearance, twisting quality, and internal properties (especially mechanical properties) of the wire rope slings.

The mechanical properties test of the steel wire rope includes the whole rope test and the split test, and the samples are taken from the twisted steel wire rope sling. The entire rope breaking force test is conducted on a tensile testing machine. According to the specifications of the wire rope sling, different clamps are used to fix both ends of the sample so that the clamps can clamp the sample and apply force evenly to each strand of the sample. . The breaking tension of wire rope slings should comply with standards and be calculated according to relevant formulas. Some special wire rope slings should also undergo fatigue tests, rubber adhesion performance tests, flatness tests, etc.

The inspection of wire rope slings is an important guarantee for whether the product meets the quality requirements. Everyone must strictly conduct quality inspections to ensure that the wire ropes meet quality standards before they can be used, which adds guarantee for safe operation!
