<strong>DOE</strong>-<strong>STD</strong>-I090-<strong>96</strong> (Rev-I)2. A number ofbroken outside wires <strong>and</strong>the distribution or concentration ofsuch brokenwires.3. Worn outside wires.4. Sections ofrope that are normallyhidden during inspection or maintenanceprocedures, such as parts passing over sheaves(these are points most subject to deterioration).5. Corroded or broken wires at endconnections.6. Corroded, cracked, bent, worn, orimproperly applied end connections.Table 8-1. Maximum allowable ropereductions.Rope diameterup to 5/16 in.(8mm)Over 5/16 in. to1/2 in. (13 mm)Over 1/2 in. to3/4 in. (19 mm)Over 3/4 in. to1 1/8 in. (29mm)Over 1 1/8 in. to1 1/2 in.

Kinking, crushing, cutting, orunstr<strong>and</strong>ing.b. No precise rules can be given fordetermining the exact time to replace wire ropebecause many factors are involved. Safetydepends largely on the use ofgood judgment by an~ppointed person in evaluating remaining strengthm a used rope, after allowance for deteriorationdisclosed by inspection. Safety ofrope operationdepends on this remaining strength.c. Conditions such as the following shall bereason for questioning rope safety <strong>and</strong> consideringreplacement:1. Inhoist ropes, 12 r<strong>and</strong>omly distributed .broken wires in one rope lay, or 4 broken wires inone str<strong>and</strong> in one rope lay.2. Wear ofone-third ofthe originaldiameter ofoutside individual wires.3. Kinking, crushing, birdcaging, or anyother damage resulting in distortion ofthe ropestructure.4. Evidence ofheat damage from anycause.5. Reductions from nominal diametergreater than those shown in Table 8-1.d. The qualified inspector shall give specialattention to end fastenings <strong>and</strong> shall examineropes frequently at socketed fittings; on thedevelopment oftwo broken wires adjacent to thispoint, resocket or replace the rope. Resocketingshall not be attempted ifthe resulting rope lengthwill be insufficient for proper operation. Thoseportions ofthe rope subjected to reverse bends<strong>and</strong> operation over sma1l-diameter drums orsheaves shall be closely examined.e. Replacement rope <strong>and</strong> connections shallhave a strength rating at least as great as theoriginal rope <strong>and</strong> connections furnished by thehoist manufacturer. Any deviation from theoriginal size, grade, or construction shall bespecified bya rope manufacturer, the hoistmanufacturer, or a qualified person.f. Never use discarded rope for slings.8.2.6.3 Welded-Link Chaina. A qualified inspector shall do the followingduring periodic inspections:1. Operate the hoist under load in raising<strong>and</strong> lowering directions, <strong>and</strong> observe the operationofthe chain <strong>and</strong> sprockets. The chain should feedsmoothly into <strong>and</strong> away from the sprockets.2. Make sure that, ifthe chain binds,jumps, or is noisy, frrst clean <strong>and</strong> properlylubricate it. Ifthe trouble persists, inspect thechain <strong>and</strong> mating parts for wear, distortion, orother damage.3. The chain should cleaned beforeinspection. Examine visually for cracks, gouges,nicks, weld spatter, corrosion, <strong>and</strong> distorted links.Chapter 8Hoists 8-10
