EN 12927-8:2004 (E) 5 Introduction Magnetic ropes testing is carried out as a supplement to visual rope inspection and is used to ensure the safe operation of ropes in service, with the advantage that it provides valuable information about the internal condition of the rope. In the context of this document, MRT equipment is categorised as either electromagnetic or permanent magnetic equipment using magnetic-flux and/or magnetic flux leakage principles and capable of detecting discontinuities and/or changes in metallic cross-sectional area in ferromagnetic wire ropes. The non-destructive magnetic rope testing (MRT) of ferro-magnetic steel wire ropes is a special field often involving the use of dedicated equipment for the testing of particular types of rope.

EN 12927-8:2004 (E) 7 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in prEN 1907:2004, in EN 12385-2:2002 and the following apply. 3.1 single function instrument instrument which detects either local discontinuities (LD) or loss of metallic cross-sectional area (LMA) 3.2 dual function instrument instrument which simultaneously detects losses of metallic cross-sectional area (LMA) and local discontinuities (LD) 3.3 local discontinuity (LD) localised fault or defect such as a broken or damaged wire or a corrosion pit on a wire 3.4 background noise random variations in the signal caused by the characteristics of the system 3.5 signature the signals on the test recording display as the rope travels through the test head on the first occasion that it is tested. The signature is taken as the datum upon which in-service deterioration effects are referred. The signature reflects the construction of the rope and changes in magnetic characteristics of the rope among its length, e.g. magnetic permeability differences 3.6 test head device on that part of the test equipment positioned around the rope during testing which generates the magnetising field and contains the detecting or sensing elements 3.7 wire break (WB) indication from the LD channel of the test equipment specifically identified as an internal or external wire break type 3.8 loss of metallic cross sectional area (LMA) LMA is the result of the comparison between a reference metallic cross sectional area and a present metallic cross sectional area of the rope as measured by MRT. It is usually expressed as a percentage 4 Symbols and abbreviations d

EN 12927-8:2004 (E) 8 5 Principles of operation 5.1 General MRT instruments are designed to operate on one or more of the principles as detailed in 5.2 to 5.4. Loss of metallic cross-sectional area can be determined by using an instrument based on the principles described in 5.2 and 5.3. Broken wires and corrosion can be detected by using a magnetic flux leakage instrument as described in 5.4. One instrument may incorporate both magnetic flux and magnetic flux leakage principles. 5.2 Electromagnetic instrument An electromagnetic wire rope testing instrument works on the transformer principle with primary and secondary coils wound around the rope.
The rope acts as the transformer core. The primary coil is energised with low frequency alternative current, typically in the 10-to-30-hertz range. The secondary coil measures the magnetisation of the rope. Any significant change in the magnetic characteristics in the core will be reflected as voltage changes (amplitude and phase) in the secondary coil. Electromagnetic instrum
