Magnetic rope testing (MRT) –
The view into the rope
Non-destructive testing of steel wire ropes
Magnetic inductive rope testing is the proven method of choice for non-destructive testing of steel wire ropes
This process has been highly regarded for many years, as it is suitable for all types of steel wire ropes and for a wide range of applications.
At the start of the test, the wire rope is magnetized to a magnetic saturation of more than 1.9 Tesla. This creates stray fields due to flaws in the rope, which can be measured and evaluated.
Detect rope damage at an early stage
Magneto-inductive testing enables early detection of numerous rope damages. This can reduce hazards and increase safety. Detectable damage includes
- Internal and external wire breaks
- Internal and external corrosion
- Clamping points
- Grooves
- Notches
- Structural changes
The test is carried out at a speed of up to 4 m/s (approx. 14 km/h). The measurements are then evaluated by experienced inspectors. The procedure is fast, efficient and reliable.
Wide range of applications
The ROTEC GmbH offers you non-destructive magnetic inductive rope testing.
Magnetic inductive rope testing is suitable for steel ropes with a diameter of 4 to 140 mm.
However, larger diameters can also be tested without any problems if required.
Clients receive detailed reports on the condition of the ropes. These reports not only contain the results, but also recommendations for care and maintenance. This significantly extends the service life of the ropes, which is particularly important in long-term applications.
Any type of steel wire rope can be tested
With magnetic inductive rope testing, we can magnetically inspect all types of steel ropes, including
- Conveyor, hauling, suspension, tensioning and guy ropes for ropeways
- Hoisting ropes of T-bar lifts
- Hoist ropes for cranes, ship lifts, container bridges, excavators and elevators
- Suspension cables for bridges, transmission masts, cable structures and stadiums, ferries, ZipLines
- Ropes from observation towers
- Conveyor ropes of roller coasters, etc.
