Imperial Elevator Wire Rope Wear Gauge Tool – 7 Sizes

This gauge is a precision-machined inspection tool for evaluating diameter reduction and potential wear in elevator suspension wire ropes. Its compact, red-anodized aluminum body provides seven clearly marked imperial gauge slots, allowing elevator service professionals to check common rope sizes during field inspections.

Designed as a go/no-go wire rope wear gauge, it helps with initial assessment of rope wear and rouging. Select the slot corresponding to the rope's original nominal diameter and place it over the rope crowns on a straight section. A rope that does not enter the corresponding slot is considered satisfactory for this diameter-check criterion. This is a screening tool, not a substitute for a complete rope inspection or applicable replacement criteria.

Features

• Seven imperial measurement positions: 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 11/16, and 3/4 inch.
• Precision CNC-machined slots sized to ASME wire-rope criteria.
• Red anodized aluminum finish for wear and corrosion resistance and easy identification as the imperial version.
• Compact, portable design for field use during elevator rope inspections.
• Gauge geometry also addresses the manufacturer's stated proposed criteria for wire ropes exhibiting rouge.
