Use of ropes for haulage and hoisting operations is indispensable. If a rope is not examined properly, it may make the transportation operation unsafe, nonproductive and costly affair. The main faults of the ropes are broken wires and disturbances of rope structure because of rather significant bending load on towers and pulleys. Application of non-destructive evaluation procedures makes it possible to improve the reliability of detecting broken wires over the available rope length for evaluation. This non-destructive investigation on haulage ropes does not include the aspect of fatigue which may develop in rope in course of time. All wire ropes wear out eventually, gradually losing work capability throughout its useful life making periodic inspections, lubrication, and tensioning necessary. It is important that the wire surface be sufficiently clean so that the broken wires are visible. The study depicts the present condition of ropes only.
