Wire rope was prematurely changed because of lubricant used.

we proposed lubricating two new wire ropes, one with the old lubricant and one with Chesterton 715 Spraflex.

Then testing with non-destructive test device TCK to check for internal number of flaws and its magnitude.

after 2 months the old lubricant wire rope needed to be re-lubricated, and the device detected 54 flaws with magnitude of 2.69% of the maximum flaw.

While the wire rope lubricated with Chesterton 715 Spraflex, the device only detected 15 minor flaws with magnitude of 0.99% for the maximum flaw.

this shows great success and saving of extending the wire rope lifetime and decreasing the amount of lubricant used.
