Steel Wire Rope Condition Monitoring by Non-Destructive Investigation and Evaluation while on Installation/Service

摘要

Steel wire ropes are extensively used in mining/Aerial ropeway industries for haulage, track and hoisting purposes for transportation of men & materials. The importance of periodic rope condition monitoring plays a vital role to achieve maximum mineral exploitation in the hazardous atmosphere as well as passenger cable car ropeway installations. With fast approach in mechanization in mining industries/passenger cable car ropeway installation, adoption of latest technology in non-destructive investigation and evaluation to enhance safety and optimum safe rope life is essential and Central Mining Research Institute is engaged in this endeavour since last more than three decades.
