Army Wire Rope Inspection Program
Abstract
This report covers an investigation into the Army's wire rope nondestructive inspection procedures and needs. Major Army users of wire rope were located and surveyed for information on their wire rope inspection procedures. The Navy has conducted an investigation into wire rope inspection equipment. They have concluded that a large a.c./d.c. unit should be used for intensive inspections with a smaller d.c. unit used for intermittent inspections for broken wires. The Army concluded that its method for inspection is sufficient at this time. There is no need for the introduction of electric test equipment.
