Reasons for Tensile Testing

Training: Many times the newest members of thewre ne companes are respons e or u ng e ca ehead. Previously there has not been a way to test tomake sure technique has not been lost.

nsurng e ua y o our ne: ow many mes avewe told our People to cut back to good Line? Good

line is a relative term. Now we can give our people a ". .example.Safety: We have all heard or seen a string of tools fall to

.Engineers check our crane blocks frequently but youdont see them checking cable heads. Now there is adevice to do just that.

Cable Records: By keeping a record of the tensile strength of

be replaced. Confidence in weak points given to our customer: How many times

have we given a customer a point at which the head was supposedto part an t came out eary? By c ec ng t e ca e ea once aweek after a job, for several weeks, your young engineer will be able

to tell a customer with confidence where the head will part. He willknow his fatigue factor He also did not have to lose any thing in thewe o ga n a nowe ge.

Knowing when your line has been in corrosive fluids: By checkingyour tensile strength you will have a record of previous strengthsand can catch a dama ed line uicker. Also ou will have hard

numbers to take back to the customer. No more twisting wire in frontof someone that only understands numbers.

wireline on the head.

It is threaded throu ha typical wirelineclamp, the clamp is
