Local cable diameter decrease
Local decrease in cable diameter is often connected to core break.
The area near the end attachments must be inspected especially carefully as it can be diffi-
cult to detect cable diameter decrease at these spots.
Cables with severe cable diameter decrease must be scrapped.
Local cable diameter decrease
Local cable diameter increase
This means repeated thickening of the cable over a long stretch. At the thicker spots, the
core pushes out of the cable and causes unevenness of the outer strands.
Cables with severe cable diameter increase must be scrapped.

Basket formation can also be caused by shock loads on slack cables.
Cables with basket formation must be scrapped.
