    The key takeaways are that DMT has over 100 years of experience in rope testing and provides various services throughout the entire lifecycle of ropes including magnetic rope testing, mechanical testing, and failure analysis.

    DMT provides magnetic rope testing of new and installed ropes, single wire testing, damage analysis, and mechanical testing to determine properties like tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, torque, fatigue, and creep in their rope testing center.

    Magnetic rope testing is a non-destructive testing method that uses magnetism to identify internal damage in ropes like wire breaks, wear, and corrosion. It can identify such issues in ropes up to 150mm in diameter.

    Steel ropes are used on seagoing vessels for any of a number of purposes. They are,
    for instance, fitted to cranes to hoist and move loads. They may be used on winches
    below deck to lay pipe and for construction work in deepwater fields.
    In the latter case the ropes are usually several kilometres long. Every effort has to be
    taken to avoid having to replace the rope while the project is in progress and to prevent
    early, non-scheduled discards due to rope failures. You can avoid such situations by
    employing magnetic rope testing (MRT) in due time.

    Our services comprise:


    n MRT of new ropes:
    base traces during manufacturing or installation
    n MRT of ropes in the field:
    after specified periods in service or following maintenance

    This testing procedure makes it possible to identify damage in the form of wire breaks, wear and corro-
    sion in ropes up to 150 mm in diameter. The inspection findings are used to determine the condition of
    the rope in terms of its load bearing capacity. Regular testing helps to compile a damage register and,
    based on the known real lifting performance, the results can be used to predict the remaining service
    life and to schedule rope changes.
