17、in metallic cross-sectional area, withinthe region of influence of the magnetizing circuit. This type ofinstrument measures changes in metallic cross-sectional area.4.1.2 Magnetic Flux Leakage InstrumentA direct currentor permanent magnet instrument (Fig. 3) is used to supply aconstant flux that mag

18、netizes a length of rope as it passesthrough the sensor head (magnetizing circuit). The magneticflux leakage created by a discontinuity in the rope, such as abroken wire, can be detected with a differential sensor, such asa Hall effect sensor, sensor coils, or by any other appropriatedevice. The sig

19、nal from the sensor is electronically processedand recorded. This type of instrument measures LFs. While theinformation is not quantitative as to the exact nature andmagnitude of the causal flaws, valuable conclusions can bedrawn as to the presence of broken wires, internal corrosion,and fretting of

20、 wires in the rope.”4.2 The examination is conducted using one or more tech-niques discussed in 4.1. Loss of metallic cross-sectional areacan be determined by using an instrument operating accordingto the principle discussed in 4.1.1. Broken wires and internal(or external) corrosion can be detected

21、by using a magnetic fluxleakage instrument as described in 4.1.2. The examinationprocedure must conform to Section 9. One instrument mayincorporate both magnetic flux and magnetic flux leakageprinciples.FIG. 1 Schematic Representation of a Permanent Magnet Equipped Sensor-Head Using a Sense Coil to

Significance and Use5.1 This p

23、ractice outlines a procedure to standardize aninstrument and to use the instrument to examine ferromagneticwire rope products in which the magnetic flux and magneticflux leakage methods are used. If properly applied, the mag-netic flux method is capable of detecting the presence, location,and magnit

24、ude of metal loss from wear, broken wires, andcorrosion, and the magnetic flux leakage method is capable ofdetecting the presence and location of flaws such as brokenwires and corrosion pits.5.2 The instruments response to the ropes fabrication,installation, and in-service-induced flaws can be signi

25、ficantlydifferent from the instruments response to artificial flaws suchas wire gaps or added wires. For this reason, it is preferable todetect and mark (using set-up standards that represent) realin-service-induced flaws whose characteristics will adverselyaffect the serviceability of the wire rope

Limitations7.1 General Limitations:7.1.1 This practice is limited to the examination of ferro-magnetic steel ropes.7.1.2 It is difficult, if not impossible, to detect flaws at ornear rope terminations and ferromagnetic steel connections.7.

33、1.3 Deterioration of a purely metallurgical nature (brittle-ness, fatigue, etc.) may not be easily distinguishable.7.1.4 A given size sensor head accommodates a limitedrange of rope diameters, the combination (between ropeoutside diameter and sensor head inside diameter) of whichprovides an acceptab

34、le minimum air gap to assure a reliableexamination.7.2 Limitations Inherent in the Use of Magnetic FluxMethods:7.2.1 Instruments designed to measure changes in metalliccross-sectional area are capable of showing changes relative tothat point on the rope where the instrument was standardized.7.2.2 Th

35、e sensitivity of these methods may decrease withthe depth of the flaw from the surface of the rope and withdecreasing gaps between the ends of the broken wires.7.3 Limitations Inherent in the Use of the Magnetic FluxLeakage Method:7.3.1 It may be impossible to discern relatively small-diameter broke

36、n wires, broken wires with small gaps, orindividual broken wires within closely-spaced multiple breaks.It may be impossible to discern broken wires from wires withcorrosion pits.7.3.2 Because deterioration of a purely metallurgical naturemay not be easily distinguishable, more frequent examinationsF

37、IG. 4 Example of a Wire Rope Reference StandardFIG. 5 Example of a Rod Reference StandardE1571 113may be necessary after broken wires are detected to determinewhen the rope should be retired, based on percent rate ofincrease of broken wires.8. Apparatus8.1 The equipment used shall be specifically de

38、signed toexamine ferromagnetic wire rope products.8.1.1 The energizing unit within the sensor head shallconsist of permanent magnets or dc solenoid coils configuredto allow application to the rope at the location of service.8.1.2 The energizing unit shall be capable of magneticallysaturating the ran

39、ge (size and construction) of ropes for whichit was designed.8.1.3 The sensor head, containing the energizing and detect-ing units, and other components, should be designed toaccommodate different rope diameters. The rope should beapproximately centered in the sensor head.8.1.4 The instrument should

40、 have connectors, or othermeans, for transmitting output signals to strip chart recorders,data recorders, or a multifunction computer interface. Theinstrument may also contain meters, bar indicators, or otherdisplay devices, necessary for instrument setup, standardiza-tion, and examination.8.1.5 The

41、 instrument should have an examination distanceand rope speed output indicating the current examinationdistance traveled and rope speed or, whenever applicable, havea proportional drive chart control that synchronizes the chartspeed with the rope speed.8.2 Auxiliary EquipmentThe examination results

42、shall be recorded on a permanentbasis by either8.2.1 a strip chart recorder8.2.2 and/or by an other type of data recorder8.2.3 and/or by a multifunctional computer interface.9. Examination Procedure9.1 The electronic system shall have a pre-examinationstandardization procedure.9.2 The wire rope shal

43、l be examined for LFs or LMA, orboth, as specified in the agreement by the users of this practice.The users may select the instrument that best suits the intendedpurpose of the examination. The examination should be con-ducted as follows:9.2.1 The rope may need to be demagnetized before anexaminatio

44、n. If a magnetic flux or a magnetic flux leakageinstrument is used, it may be necessary to repeat the examina-tion to homogenize the magnetization of the rope.9.2.2 The sensor head must be approximately centeredaround the wire rope.9.2.3 The instrument must be adjusted in accordance with aprocedure.

45、 The sensitivity setting should be verified prior tostarting the examination by inserting a ferromagnetic steel rodor wire of known cross-sectional area. This standardizationsignal should be permanently recorded for future reference.9.2.4 The wire rope must be examined by moving the head,or the rope

46、, at a relatively uniform speed. Relevant signal(s)must be recorded on suitable media, such as on a strip chartrecorder, on a tape recorder, or on computer file(s), for thepurpose of both present and future replay/analysis.9.2.5 The following information shall be recorded as exami-nation data for an

47、alysis:9.2.5.1 Date of examination,9.2.5.2 Examination number,9.2.5.3 Customer identification,9.2.5.4 Rope identification (use, location, reel and ropenumber, etc.),9.2.5.5 Rope diameter and construction,9.2.5.6 Instrument serial number,9.2.5.7 Instrument standardization settings,9.2.5.8 Strip chart

For strip chart alignment purposes, atemporary marker should be placed on the rope at a pointcommon to the two adjacent runs. (A ferromagnetic markershows an indication on a recording device.)
