Rope MRT INTRON
Wire ropes are vital components across industries, bearing heavy loads and securing critical structures. However, hidden within their robust exteriors lies a silent danger – internal deterioration. Traditional visual inspections, though valuable, often miss these issues due to various factors, especially in multi-strand, rotation-resistant ropes. INTRON Magnetic Rope Testing (MRT) steps in as the solution for safety, compliance, and operational reliability.
The Hidden Risk: Internal Deterioration
Internal degradation is a leading cause of unexpected wire rope failures, posing threats like injury, equipment damage, legal liabilities, and financial losses. Detecting and mitigating this risk goes beyond regulation; it's essential for personnel safety and asset protection.
A Data-Driven Imperative
INTRON MRT offers invaluable insights into wire rope condition, including residual breaking strength assessment. With this data, organizations can make informed decisions about safe operation and maintenance.
In summary, INTRON MRT is not just a regulatory requirement; it's a strategic investment in safety and reliability. By uncovering hidden threats within wire ropes, INTRON empowers organizations to prevent accidents, protect assets, maintain reputations, and ensure long-term success.

INTRON MRT: Precision in Wire Rope Inspection
The heart of INTRON's Magnetic Rope Testing (MRT) system lies in its principle of operation – the magnetic flux leakage (MFL) method. This method detects anomalies by identifying disruptions in the normal flux patterns within ferrous materials that are saturated by a magnetic field. Commonly referred to as Magnetic Rope Testing (MRT), this inspection method is a game-changer.
INTRON's capabilities cover a wide range of rope diameters, from 6mm to 175mm, making it a versatile tool for inspections in various industries. Whether it's mines, cranes, elevators, ropeways, bridges, or overhead transmission lines, INTRON's dual-function instrument offers unmatched capabilities.
Dual-Function Instrument
INTRON is not just about measuring the loss of metallic area (LMA) caused by factors like corrosion, abrasion, or wear. It goes beyond by revealing local flaws (LF) that can hide internal and external broken wires, pitting corrosion, cross-nicking, welding spots, and more. INTRON is well-suited for inspecting a wide range of rope types, including stranded, spiral, half-locked, full-locked, plastic-coated, or plastic valley-filled ropes made from bright and galvanized wire, with either fiber or steel cores.
Magnetization for Precision
The MRT system is designed to establish a magnetic circuit that magnetizes the metallic cross-section of the rope up to its saturation level. To put this in context, according to EN 12927:2019, the magnetizing unit must generate a magnetic flux density between 1.9 and 2.3 Tesla in a rope. This strong and uniform magnetization of the rope's cross-section is essential to achieve a high defect detection rate throughout the rope cross-section, especially for wire breaks within the core.
Accreditation and Certification
INTRON's performance aligns with international standards, including ASTM E1571, ISO 4309, EN 12927:2019, IMCA LR 004, IMCA HSSE 023, and IMCA M 197 Rev 1.

Intros Auto
INTROS-AUTO is specifically engineered for conducting non-destructive inspections on steel wire ropes, offering automated data interpretation. The results are presented in a "traffic light" mode, where a green light signals that the rope can continue to be used, a yellow light indicates a certain level of rope deterioration (adjustable) – applicable to both LMA and LF, and a red light warns against further use of the rope.
The assessment of the rope's actual condition relies on several criteria, including the number of broken wires within a specific rope length, the percentage of metallic cross-sectional area loss, and the rate of rope degradation. All inspection data are readily accessible for manual interpretation by an inspector at any time.
Furthermore, INTROS-AUTO can be seamlessly connected to an external computer to facilitate continuous wire rope monitoring.
Intros Auto: Real-Time Rope Condition Monitoring
Intros Auto provides on-demand insights into your rope's condition. Installed directly on the machine, it continuously updates information about the rope's status, ensuring asset owners have real-time awareness of its condition at all times. Stay informed and proactive with Intros Auto.
