When such damage is discovered, the rope shall either be remaved from service or given an inspection 8 detailed in para. 82.42 (05 Care shall be taken when inspecting, sections of rapid deterioration such as flange points, crossover Pints, and repetitive pickup points on drums. fc) Care shall be taken when inspecting certain ropes such as: 1) rotation-esistant rope because ofits higher sus. ceptibility to damage, inewased deterioration, and core failure {see Fig. 8) when working on equipment with limited design parameters. The internal deterioration of rolation-esistant ropes may not be readily observable. 2) boom hoist ropes because of the diffcultics of inspection and impertant nature of these ropes. 18-2.4.2 Periodic Inspection (a) The inspection frequency shall be determined by 2 qualified person and shall be based on such factors as expected rope life as determined by experience an the particular installation ar similar instalations, severity of environment, percentage of capacity lifts, frequency Copyright 2004 by tho Amerie [No reproduction ray be made of Dis mer rates of operation, and exposure to shock loads.

(c} Rope should be maintained in a well-ubricated condition. ft is important that lubricant applied as part ‘of a maintenance program shall be compatible with the original lubricant, and to this end, the rope manufacturer should be consulted. Lubricant applied should be the type that does not hinder visual inspection. Those sec- tions of rope that are located over sheaves or otherwise hidden during inspection and maintenance procedures equire special attention when lubricating the rope. The ‘object of rope lubrication is to reduce internal fiction and to prevent corrosion. Periodic field lubrication is particularly important for rotation-resistant rope. (f) When an operating rope shows greater wear at well-defined localized areas than on the remainder of the rope, cope life can be extended {in cases where a reduced rope length isadequate) by cutting off a section at one end, thus shifting the Wear to different areas of the rope.LONIING CRANES AND FLONTING DERRICKS Chapter 8-3 Operation ASME 830.8:2008 SECTION 8-3.1: QUALIFICATIONS FOR AND CONDUCT OF OPERATORS: 83.1.1 Operators {a} Cranes and derricks shall be operated only by the following personnel (1) designated persons 2) trainees under the direct supervision of a desig- rated person {Bh maintenance and test personnel (when itis ec- essary in the performance of their duties) (4h inspectors (8) No one other than the personnel specified in sub- para, 83.1.1(2) shall enter a crane cab of operator's stax tion, with the exception of persons such as oilers, supervisors, and those specific persons authorized by supervisors, whose duty requires them to de so, and then only in the performance of those duties and withthe knowledge of the operator or other appointed person. 83.1.2 Qualifications for Operators (a) Operators shall be required by the employer to pass a written or oral examination and a practical ‘operating examination unless satisfactory evidence of qualifications and experience can be furnished.
