Magnetic Rope Testing (MRT)

MRT is a method we use to check steel wire ropes for defects and deterioration.

It works by fully magnetising a section of rope and then detecting and measuring changes to the magnetic field caused by broken wires, corrosion, wear or mechanical damage. This is a safe, cost-effective and indisputable testing method. At IKM Hendrik Veder, we perform MRT using our own equipment, which is suitable for rope diameters up to 160 mm. Our operators and reporting are ISO certified.
