MRT Testing Guidelines: Cranes, Wire ropes, Care and maintenance, inspection and discard

ISO 4309:2017 establishes general principles for the care and maintenance, and inspection and discard of steel wire ropes used on cranes and hoists.

The standard ISO 4309:2017  suggests using non destructive (MRT: Magnetic Tope test) methodology to check the lift sector wire ropes, especially for the internal inspection of the rope.

The magneto-inductive methodology, which is used in our systems, is now officially recognized by the standards which defines new discard criteria for non- destructive wire rope test and an example of an MRT report.
