Note:
Seizing wire recommendation
- for ungalvanised rope - use annealed wire
- for galvanised rope - use soft, zinc-coated wire.
- Diameter of wire:
8 - 24 mm = 1 mm
25 - 36 mm= 1.6 mm
38 - 56 mm = 2 mm

Allow clearance for free rotation of reel when the rope
end is pulled.
Maintain constant tension during haul off.
Prevent crossing of rope laps on the reel.
Avoid possible kink, which is a permanent damage
to a rope.

DISCARD CRITERIA
RECOMMENDED DO'S & DON'TS
! For single-layer construction, if the

reduction in diameter is greater than 8%
(eg. 6x7).
! For multiplayer construction, if the
reduction in diameter is greater than 5%
(eg. 6x19, 6x36 etc.)
! Total no. of visible broken wires exceed
10% of total no. of wires in the rope, in a
length of 8 x dia. of rope or 3 or more
adjacent broken wires in a stand.
! Evidence of considerable plastic wear
or surface embrittlement.
! Localised distortion, damage or kink,
bird-caging, crushing.
! Localised diameter reduction or lay
variation associated with waviness.
! Collapsed core or one strand broken
coupled with wire looseness and
bulging.
! Corrosion / chain pitting & associated
fatigue of wires.
! Damage due to heat / fire.
! Rope has been subjected to severe
shock load or overload due to some
accident with equipments.
! End-fitting / attachments damaged or
cracked or deformed or worn out.
DOS
! Lubricate ropes with good quality acid
free and moisture free lubricant.
! Regularly inspect the sheaves, rollers or
pulleys-the life of a rope largely
depends on their conditions.
! Inspect ropes and fittings/terminations
periodically.
DONTS
! Do not allow ropes in store to
deteriorate
! Do not mishandle ropes when uncoiling
or unreeling & allow kinks to form.
! Do not use Langs lay with a swivel
! Do not cut a rope without seizing.
! Do not use rope which is not sufficiently
flexible for he size of drum or pulley.
! Do not load the rope beyond its safe
working load. Reduction of safety factor
may jeopardise not only rope, but also
equipment, job and men.
Note:
Remember - Care in handling, installation, and careful inspection
gives more life and enormous dividends.
Note:
The inspector should also refer to International Standards like ISO
4309 and BS 6570 or any other relevant standard for the purpose,
as a tool, for discarding a wire rope.

In-use lubrication pays rich dividends

! Large outer wires rest in the valley

! Must be stored in a well ventilated shed.

Measure the circle just touching the extreme outer

to the inner layer, are laid in the

after every 3 months.

! Reel containing ropes to be rolled through 90 degree
