<strong>DOE</strong>-<strong>STD</strong>-I090-<strong>96</strong> (Rev-I)trouble persists, inspect the chain <strong>and</strong> matingparts for wear, distortion, or damage.b. Ifwear is observed or stretching issuspected, the chain shall be measured accordingto the crane manufacturer's instructions. Ifinstructions are not available, proceed as follows:1. Suspend the hoist in normal position<strong>and</strong> apply a light load ofapproximately 50 lb(23 kg).2. Select a 12-in. (305-mm) section ofchain that normally travels over the load sprocket.3. Determine elongation by measuringwith a caliper from the edge ofone chain pin tothe corresponding edge ofanother pin. Ifelongation exceeds 1/4 in. (6.3 mm) in 12 in.(305 mm) compared to new or unstretched chainvalues, the chain shall be replaced.4. Inspect for twist. Replaceifthe twistin any 5-ft (l.52-m) section exceeds 15 degrees.5. Check for straightness in a planeperpendicular to the plane ofthe rollers. Replaceifthe chain has a bow exceeding 1/4 in. (6.3 mm)in any 5-ft (1.52-m) section.6. Additional inspection shall be made byremoving the chain from the crane <strong>and</strong> cleaning itthoroughly. Deficiencies such as those listedbelow shall be carefully examined <strong>and</strong> adetermination shall be made as to whether theyconstitute a safety hazard:i. Pins turned from originalposition.ii.iii.Rollers that do not run freelywith light fmger pressure.Joints that cannot be flexed byeasy h<strong>and</strong> pressure.iv.Side plates that are spread open.v. Corrosion, pitting, ordiscoloration.vi.Gouges, nicks, or weld spatter.c. Roller chain shall bereplaced ifany oftheconditions exist as stated inparagraphs 7.2.7A.b.,1 through 5 above.d. Deficiencies as stated inparagraph 7.2.7.4.b.6 above are reason forquestioning chain safety <strong>and</strong> considering itsreplacement.e. Repairing ofroller chain by welding orheating shall not be attempted.f. Replacement chain shall be the same size,grade, <strong>and</strong> construction as the original chainfurnished by the crane manufacturer unlessotherwise recommended by the manufacturer dueto working conditions.g. Roller chain, discarded or new, shall not beused for slings.7.2.8 Cranes Not in RegularServicea. Cranes that have been idle for 1 month ormore but less than 6 months shall be inspectedbefore being placed in service according to therequirements listed above in Section 7.2.6,"Frequent Inspection.b. Cranes that have been idle for 6 months orlonger shall be inspected before being placed inservice according to the requirements listed abovein Section 7.2.7, "Periodic Inspection."Chapter 7Overhead <strong>and</strong> Gantry Cranes 7·10
