Test and Evaluation of the Magnograph(TM) Unit - A Nondestructive Wire Rope Tester

Abstract

The nondestructive wire rope test device, a unitized AC/DC magnograph, was tested for operational characteristics prior to acquisition by Naval field activities and start of inspection programs. The Magnograph was tested for loss of metallic area (LMA) and local fault (LF) detection accuracy. Wire ropes 1/2, 3/4, 1-1/8, 1-1/2, 2, and 2-1/2 inches in diameter were tested on a wire rope test track to find the accuracy of the unit. Two mining wire ropes, guy wires of a 1,000-ft-tall tower, and wire rope for 400-, 250-, and 30- ton cranes were used to determine operational characteristics of the Magnograph.
