6.6 Inspection interval and lifetime indication
CAUTION
The data in the tables below are indicative lifetimes, based on our experience and general applications. High
dynamic
forces in the application decreases the lifetime significantly. You must assess the application to determine the required
inspection interval and lifetime. At new applications, additional inspection intervals must be applied in order to determine
t
he lifetime for that application. The number of load cycles per grab cycle is affected by the average amount of trimming
works and the crane system.
Refer to section 6.3 for the methods of inspection.
Refer to chapter 7 for the criteria of rejection.
