🔍 Key Concepts

• Inspection and condemnation criteria for wire rope (look at wear limits and visible damage) • How lay direction (right-hand vs left-hand lay) affects the correct way to coil and uncoil wire rope • Purpose and condition of the fiber core inside wire rope (lubrication and moisture)

💭 Think About

• Think about what normal, healthy wire rope looks like during routine inspections: would you expect the outside wires to be worn as much as one-half their diameter before you take it out of service? • Consider how a right-hand laid rope wants to naturally twist when you coil it. In which direction would you coil it so you are NOT forcing extra twist into the rope? • Ask yourself whether a moist fiber core is automatically a bad sign, or if it might be related to lubrication inside the rope.

✅ Before You Answer

• For each option, ask: Is this an actual condemnation criterion or just a handling/condition detail? • Visualize coiling a right-hand laid rope: does coiling clockwise or counterclockwise add twist or remove twist? • Remember that not every undesirable-sounding condition is grounds for immediate condemnation—focus on clear safety/strength issues like severe wear, broken wires, crushing, or severe corrosion.

Which statement(s) is (are) TRUE concerning wire rope?

Wire rope should be condemned if the outside wires are worn to one-half their original diameter.

Wire rope which is right-hand laid should be coiled counterclockwise to prevent kinking.

Wire rope should be condemned if the fiber core appears moist.
