1.1 This practice covers the application and standardization of instruments that use the electromagnetic, the magnetic flux, and the magnetic flux leakage examination method to detect flaws and changes in metallic cross-sectional areas in ferromagnetic wire rope products.

1.1.1 This practice includes rope diameters up to 2.5 in. (63.5 mm). Larger diameters may be included, subject to agreement by the users of this practice.

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.


This practice outlines a procedure to standardize an instrument and to use the instrument to examine ferromagnetic wire rope products in which the electromagnetic, magnetic flux, magnetic flux leakage, or any combination of these methods is used. If properly applied, the electromagnetic and the magnetic flux methods are capable of detecting the presence, location, and magnitude of metal loss from wear and corrosion, and the magnetic flux leakage method is capable of detecting the presence and location of flaws such as broken wires and corrosion pits.

The instrument’response to the rope’fabrication, installation, and in-service-induced flaws can be significantly different from the instrument’response to artificial flaws such as wire gaps or added wires. For this reason, it is preferable to detect and mark (using set-up standards that represent) real in-service-induced flaws whose characteristics will adversely affect the serviceability of the wire rope.
