Cranes. General design - Limit states and proof of competence of wire ropes in reeving systemsCranes. General design. Limit states and proof of competence of wire ropes in reeving systems This Technical Specification has been prepared to be a harmonized standard to provide one means for the mechanical design and theoretical verification of cranes to conform with the essential health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive, as amended. This standard also establishes interfaces between the user (purchaser) and the designer, as well as

This is achieved by:

The specimen is exposed to rapid changes of temperature in air or in a suitable inert gas by alternate exposure to low temperature and to high temperature
