Testing for Ship Anchor
1. Product Test Programs
There are two test programs, which apply to ship anchor manufacture for testing.
2. Drop Test
Each ship anchor fluke and shank is to be individually raised to a height of 4 m (13.1 ft) and dropped on to a steel slab without fracturing. The steel slab is to be suitable to resist the impact of the dropped component.
3. Hammering Test
After the drop test, hammering tests are to be carried out on each ship anchor fluke and the shank, which is slung clear of the ground, using a non-metallic sling, and hammered to check the soundness of the
component. The hammer of at least 3 kg (6.6 lbs) mass is to be used.
4. Visual Inspection
After proof loading visual inspection of all accessible surfaces is to be carried out.
5. General Nondestructive Examination
After proof loading, general NDE is to be carried out as indicated in Table 3 and Table 4.
6. Extended Nondestructive Examination
After proof loading extended NDE is to be carried out as indicated in Table 5.
