SECTION 3A. MOORING WIRES REPLACEMENT & INSPECTION PROCEDURES
Mooring Wires Replacement and Inspection Procedures :
3A.0 General The safe use of wire rope is qualified by the following criteria : a. The nature and number of broken wires b. Broken wires at the termination c. Localized grouping of wire breaks d. The rate of increase of wire breaks e. The fracture of strands f. Reduction of rope diameter, including that resulting from core deterioration g. Decreased elasticity h. External and internal wear i. External and internal corrosion j. Deformation k. Damage due to heat or electric arcing l. Rate of increase of permanent elongation All examinations should take into account these individual factors recognizing the particular criteria. However, deterioration frequently results from a combination of factors having a cumulative effect. The competent person examining a wire rope will recognize these factors and any cumulative deterioration in making the decision to discard the rope or to allow it to remain in service. Individual degrees of deterioration should be assessed and expressed as a percentage of the particular discard criterion. The cumulative degree of deterioration at any given position is determined by adding together the individual values that are recorded at that position in the wire rope. When the cumulative value (a – h) at any position reaches 100%, the wire rope should be discarded.
3A.1 The nature and number of broken wires (a) Broken wires usually occur at the external surface, but there is a probability that some of the broken wires will occur internally and are “non-visible” fractures. One valley break may indicate internal deterioration requiring closer inspection of this section of rope. When two or more valley breaks are found in one lay length, the rope should be considered for discard. Particular attention should be paid to any localized area that exhibits dryness or denaturing of lubrication. Under the existed regulations a wire rope should be replaced when the number of broken wires reached the 5% of the total number of wires in the rope within a length of 10 x rope diameter. i.e. For a rope of 28 mm (diam), construction 6x37 we may calculate as follows: 28x10 = 280 length – (6x37) = 58 (wires) x 5% = 3 wires damaged in a length of 28 cm. The wire rope should be discarded when:

SECTION 3
Three or more broken wires are found in the close proximity of the termination (white metal / resin secured socket).
ii.
Three or more broken wires are found in one strand.
iii.
Five broken wires are found between two adjacent strands within a length of 10 x rope diameter.
Figure-1 : Examples of Wire Rope Damage with broken wires.
3A.2 Broken Wires at Termination (b) Broken wires at, or adjacent to, the termination, even if few in number, are indicative of high stresses at this position and can be caused by incorrect fitting of the termination. The cause of this deterioration should be investigated and, where possible, the termination should be remade, shortening the rope if sufficient length remains for further use, or the rope should be discarded. 3A.3 Localized Grouping of wire breaks (c) Where broken wires are very close together, constituting a localized grouping of such breaks, the rope should be discarded. If the grouping of such breaks occurs in a length less than 6d or is concentrated in any one strand, it may be necessary to discard the rope even if the number of wire breaks is smaller than the maximum number referred in (a) above. 3A.4 Rate of Increase of Broken Wires (d) If the primary cause of rope deterioration is fatigue, broken wires will appear after a certain period of use and the number of breaks will progressively increase over time. In these cases, it is recommended that careful periodic examination and recording of the number of broken wires be undertaken with a view to establishing the rate of increase in the number of breaks. 3A.5 The Fracture of Strands (e) If a complete strand fracture occurs, the rope should be immediately discarded.

SECTION 3
This condition can lead to abrupt failure under dynamic loading and is sufficient justification for immediate discard.
Figure-3 : Rope Stretch Leading to Decreased Elasticity
3A.8 External Wear (h) Abrasion of the outer strands of the rope results from rubbing contact, especially under load, with fittings such as chocks and fairleads. Wear is promoted by lack of incorrect lubrication and also by the presence of dust and grit. Wear reduces the strength of ropes by reducing the cross-sectional area of the steel strands. If the actual rope diameter has decreased due to external wear by 7% or more of the nominal rope diameter even if no wire breaks are visible, the rope should be discarded. 3A.9 External and internal corrosion (i) Corrosion is a particular problem in marine and polluted industrial atmospheres. It will diminish the breaking strength of the rope by reducing the metallic cross-sectional area. It will accelerate fatigue by causing surface irregularities, which lead to stress cracking. Severe corrosion can cause decreased elasticity of the rope.
External Corrosion
Corrosion of the outer surface of the wire can be detected visually. Wire slackness due to corrosion attack / steel loss is justification for immediate rope discard.
Internal Corrosion
This condition is more difficult to detect than the external corrosion that frequently accompanies it, but the following indications can be recognized:
Variation in rope diameter
Loss of clearance between the strands in the outer layer of the rope frequently combined with wire breaks between or within the strands. If there is any indication of internal corrosion, the rope should be subjected to internal examination carried out by a competent person. Confirmation of severe internal corrosion is justification for immediate rope discard.

3A.12 Locating of Wire Breaks Identification of wire breaks can be by visual and physical examination. The first step in wire rope examination is to find the rope section with the greatest concentration of wire breaks. This will be achieved by visually inspecting the full length of the rope and particularly in critical areas such as slices, pick up points etc. Special attention has to be paid and strong protective gloves must be worn. A piece of wood held on the surface of a moving rope will be deflected by the protruding ends of broken wire. Same procedures can be applied by using soft cotton or cloth. In order to facilitate, the broken wires detection, it is advisable the strand valleys to be duly cleaned from previous grease oils, etc. using wire brass. If you find a number of broken wires approaching the maximum allowable permitted per strand, extend the search to other sections of wire.
ďƒ˜ Internal Wire Examination Any time interior damage, broken wires or core failure is suspected, a section of wire should be opened for internal examination. A wire can be opened for internal inspection when completely relaxed. Using due care, work a marlinspike beneath two strands and rotate the spike to expose the core and underside of strands. Use an awl to probe for broken wires and examine inner surfaces. If the wire has an independent wire rope core, (IWRC), look for broken wires on the under sides of strands where the strands contact the IWRC. Look for excessive nicks or broken wires in the strands caused by contact between adjacent strands or with IWRC, also examine the IWRC for broken wire. In the case of fiber core wire, examine the core for excessive breakage of fibers. If short pieces of fiber, less than 1/4 inch long, fall out of the core, it is breaking up. Such short, broken fibers sometimes indicate the wire is being overloaded. Issue No.01 / Date: 01.06.2015

3A.15 PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION AND COMPLIANCE INSTRUCTION FOR USE OOF WIRE ROPES : Measurement The right way to measure the diameter of a rope is to obtain the diameter of the circumscribed circle.
Installation procedure of Non-Rotating wire rope in the Crane The trouble-free and long service life of every wire rope, especially of the multistranded, non-rotating wire ropes, depends 100% on their proper installation in the crane. By proper installation we mean kink & torsion-free installation. The following steps must be carefully taken: • We should lay the new wire rope on the deck for the kinks - if any - to be removed before connecting it to the old wire rope. • The installation of the new rope and removal of the old one from the crane winch / drum must take place in one continuous operation making absolutely sure that no accumulated stresses/torsions are transferred to the new wire rope. • From this point onward, special attention must be given to the coupling of the socket / thimble fitted onto the wire rope to the crane itself. In no case, should loose wire ropes be left lying about on the deck, when the socket / thimble is to be attached, otherwise kinks will form and after a short period of operation in the crane, ropes will swell and eventually be destroyed. Therefore, make always sure that the socket / thimble end, before it’s firmly attached to the crane, is left to hang loose, so that all kinks are removed from the rope and no other are created Issue No.01 / Date: 01.06.2015

What follows the proper installation and it’s of the same importance is the so-called ‘running in’ period, during which some windings and unwindings must be effected, initially with the 1/4 of the maximum working load. The same is repeated without load. In case we find, that after the inspection, the cargo block tends to turn, that means that kinks had been formed during the installation. In such case, the socket / thimble must be detached, thus allow the kinks to be relieved. This procedure must be repeated until the wire rope is fully run in and adjusted to the operating conditions. In conclusion, the proper installation, lubrication & inspection, and running-in period guarantee a long service life and trouble-free operation.

application. These features can lead to misconceptions during visual inspections. When a rope has a braided cover, it is only possible to visually inspect the cover (which, at best, carries only 50% of the load). Rope designs utilizing HMPE (High Modulus Polyethylene) fibers will show initial rapid abrasion until the rope has a fuzzy appearance — this appearance actually acts as a protective layer. Determining The Average Condition Of The Rope: The average condition of a rope can be an important factor in determining the rope's retirement. To determine the average condition, walk the entire length of the rope and document its overall condition. Many ropes can be classified by the total amount of overall wear and cleanliness.
Fig 1: New Rope
Fig 2: Used Rope
Fig. 3 Severely abraided rope Abrasion When the rope is first put into service the outer filaments of the rope will quickly fuzz up (fig. 2). This is the result of these filaments breaking and this roughened surface actually forms a protective cushion and shield for the fibers underneath. This condition should stabilize, not progress. If the surface roughness increases (fig. 3), excessive abrasion is taking place and strength is being lost. As a general rule for single braid ropes, when there is 25% or more wear from Issue No.01 / Date: 01.06.2015

6) Avoid as much as possible the introduction of twist in your mooring line. Twist can reduce significantly the strength efficiency of an HMPE rope. 7) Every six (or 9 months maybe) reverse your mooring line (bring the rear part of the rope in front and vice versa) so that the wear is distributed and get a longer service life. 8) Avoid making knots at all costs. They can reduce the line's strength by up to 50%. Make eye splices instead. 9) Avoid shock loads (always use a mooring tail) 10) Use chafe gear (Pes webbings, Pes clothing) for the contact of the rope with metal surfaces (bitts, bollards, chocks etc) no matter in how good condition these hardware are.

-Put a "chainfall" (at least 1 ton) or a "comealong" (Clydesdale) at the top of the crane. It has to work in the same direction as the rope. - Try to keep the tightened rope at the height of fixed point by using chainfall (or come-along) - Attach sling to chainfall (or come-along) and stretch rope in such manner it is slacked at the fixed point.
- Wind a chain round the rope behind sleeve so that you can twist the rope with the aid of a crowbar. Loosen the screws at fixed point and remove the rope - With the aid of chain and crowbar bring a torsion of at least 180o to 360o into the rope reverse to the twisting direction of pulley block. - To put crowbar into next position fasten rope to thimble hole by using another crowbar if rope reeving are hindering. - Attach rope to fixed point and grip the screws - Remove all auxiliary devices and run the boom from lowest position to highest position 5-6 times
Exclusively by running the boom, the induced torsion can get into the rope reeving. (Running the lifting device causes movement of the wrong rope reeving.) - Check twist of pulley block again. If any twist has remained, repeat working procedures. Auxiliary means: Chain, 2 slings, chainfall or come-along (Clydesdale) 1 ton, 2 crowbars, wrench (fixed point). Time needed: 1 to 1-1/2 hours.

3C.6. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE OF NON-ROTATING WIRE ROPE IN THE CRANE The trouble free and long service life of every multi stranded rotation resistant wire rope depends 100% on its proper installation in the crane. Proper installation is a kink-free and torque free installation. To achieve that, a few simple and well known procedures must be followed. For instance laying the new wire rope on the deck so kinks, if existing, are removed before connecting the old wire rope to the new one. The installation of the new rope and removal of the old rope from the crane winch / drum must take place in one continuous operation making also sure that no accumulated internal stresses are transferred to the new rope. This is achieved with the use of pulling stockings or cable grips. The stockings, one at each rope side, must be placed at least 3 mtrs apart and must be joined with a heaving line rope or a seizing wire. These connecting materials will absorb the tensions of the old rope and will not transfer them through to the new rope.
From this point onward, special attention must be given to the coupling of the socket/thimble fitted onto the wire rope, to the crane itself. In no case loose rope must be left still laying on the deck, when the socket/thimble is to be attached, otherwise kinks will form and after a short period of operation on the crane the rope will swell and will eventually be destroyed. For that reason the socket/thimble end before being attached to the crane must be allowed to hang loose so that all kinks are relieved from the wire rope and no more can be formed. Of same importance, after the proper installation, is the ÂŤrunning inÂť period, during which some windings and unwidings must be effected initially with half the maximum working load gradually increasing to the full, so that rope is allowed to adjust itself to the operating conditions. In conclusion, the proper installation, the running in period and the proper lubrication and inspection guarantee a long service life and trouble free operation.
WARNING DO NOT EXCEED WORKING LOAD LIMIT. USE THE PROPER WIRE ROPE FOR THE RIGHT JOB. 3C.7. PROPER WINDING OF WIRE ROPE ON THE WINCH Equally vital and of great importance is the winding of the new wire rope under tension on the ship's winch. The first layers must be wound tightly so that the upper ones do not wedge through the lower layers when load is applied and thus crush and destroy the rope. The proper tensioning load should be approx 2% of the minimum breaking load of the rope. If a tensioning device is not present or is impossible to apply the tensioning load using a special device, please use a wooden board in order to "brake" the unwinding reel. Do not use pressure on the rope itself in order to generate the required tension as structural damage and permanent deformation on the rope might occur. Another solution is to wind the whole length of the rope on the winch, then unwind it until the first layer appears and then lift a load equal to the 2% of the rope's minimum breaking load so that the required tension level is achieved and then continue to wind the rope on the winch.
