 Statement of Using TST Systems

1.TST FDSys Series are inspection systems designed and developed by TST Flaw Detection
Technology Co., Ltd for the non-destructive inspection of steel wire ropes and steel cord conveyor
belts.
2.The inspection technique and inspection output of TST FDSys Systems comply with the
recommended approach in ISO 4309 standard and ASTM E1571 standard for the non-destructive
inspection of steel wire ropes.
3.Inspectors using TST FDSys Series to inspect steel wire ropes and steel cord conveyor belts must
be properly trained by TST or TST certified agencies and receive ‘Certificate of Inspection’ by TST.

4.Technical Support and Diagnostic Service can only be provided by TST or TST certified agencies
to inspection scenarios where TST certified inspectors have operated.

5.TST certified inspectors are strongly recommended to obtain the knowledge of target operation
and background information of the inspection target.

6.Essential documentation of inspection tasks is strongly recommended for FDSys.P Models. E.g. ‘
Inspection Info Sheet’; ‘Inspection Report’.
7.Inspector and Auditor using TST FDSys.P Models are responsible for making the inspection
reports in which TST or TST Certified Agencies should provide essential technical support and
expert opinion case by case.
8.Any inspection result either from TST System or other NDT inspection approach is not suggested
to be the sole source of evidence to interpret complicated inspection scenarios. In cases where
conflicts arise, further investigation should be required.
9.If not proved to be system fault or system disfunction, TST should reserve the rights and
responsibilities to interpret and justify the inspection data and result generated by TST Systems.
10.Maintenance policy and discard criteria of inspection target should be acknowledged to TST or
TST Certified Agencies to verify the compliance of TST reporting process thus to notify and
interpret different results that may arise.
11.TST does not take collateral responsibilities for the conducts of any Uncertified 3rd party
inspection service vendor using TST FDSys Systems for business purpose.

Inspection Summary Result Flaw status is Medium. Please continue with routine inspections and consider enhancing maintenance.

Note: 'Inspection Conclusive Result' is generated by the software with the following methodology. The 'Result' is suggested to be taken as basis of further maintenance decision.
However, it's strongly recommended that inspectors should synthetically analyze the 'Data' and 'Result'.

Method A: Inspection Ref Length is '0'

1.When the 'Max Flaw Value' is < 30% of 'Ultralimit Value' graded as Level I.
Result: Flaw status is Low. Please continue with routine inspections.
2.When the 'Max Flaw Value' is 30%<Flaw Value<60% of 'Ultralimit Value' graded as Level II.
Result: Flaw status is Medium. Please continue with routine inspections and consider enhancing maintenance.

3.When the 'Max Flaw Value' is 60%<Flaw Value<80% of 'Ultralimit Value' graded as Level III.
Result: Flaw status is High. Please continue with routine inspections and consider enhancing maintenance. Please verify if wire rope system may need re-alignment and rectification.
Inspection Statement

4.When the 'Max Flaw Value' is 80%<Flaw Value<100% of 'Ultralimit Value' graded as Level IV.
Result: Flaw status is Severe. Please consider more frequent inspections and a rope replacement to be scheduled in recent maintenance window.

5.When the 'Max Flaw Value' is >100% of 'Ultralimit Value' graded as Level V.
Result: Flaw status is Ultralimit. Please reinspect to verify and consider rope replacement immediately.

Method B: Inspection Ref Length is > 0 (with a value found proper for the objective)
Hint: This 'Method' shift the focus from single 'Flaw Value' to the ‘Distributive Pattern’ of Flaws to examine if series of flaws are concentrated and affecting.

1.When the 'Max Σ Flaw Value' in 'Ref Length' is < 30% of 'Ultralimit Value' graded as Level I.
Result: Flaw status is Low. Please continue with routine inspections.
2.When the 'Max Σ Flaw Value' in 'Ref Length' is 30%<Flaw Value<60% of 'Ultralimit Value' graded as Level II.
Result: Flaw status is Medium. Please continue with routine inspections and consider enhancing maintenance.

3.When the 'Max Σ Flaw Value' in 'Ref Length' is 60%<Flaw Value<80% of 'Ultralimit Value' graded as Level III.
Result: Flaw status is High. Please continue with routine inspections and consider enhancing maintenance. Please verify if wire rope system may need re-alignment and rectification

4.When the 'Max Σ Flaw Value' in 'Ref Length' is 80%<Flaw Value<100% of 'Ultralimit Value' graded as Level IV.
Result: Flaw status is Severe. Please consider more frequent inspections and a rope replacement to be scheduled in recent maintenance window.
5.When the 'Max Σ Flaw Value' in 'Ref Length' is >100% of 'Ultralimit Value' graded as Level V.
Result: Flaw status is Ultralimit. Please reinspect to verify and consider rope replacement to be done immediately.
