Over this time period, particular operating conditions and hazards have been identified which are more harmful to Plasma than to steel. The presence of these conditions can best be determined by periodic inspection of the lines. This guideline presents recommendations for conducting periodic inspection by the end user Conditions to be avoided in Plasma Lines There are three areas where close attention needs to be paid to Plasma lines. Below are descriptions of these conditions and likely signs of their presence. 1. Repeated lateral abrasion against sharp edges. While HMPE is one of the most cut- resistant polymers available, metal can prove to be stronger than Plasma in a long- duration abrasion event. Signs of excess abrasion include strand pullouts, heavy fuzzing and cut strands in a single area, and localized bunching. It should be noted that normal light fuzzing of the Plasma rope surface is to be expected in normal use. This light fuzzing does not reduce the rated strength of the line, and actually creates a protective layer on the rope that helps to prevent further damage.
