WINCH LOAD TESTING IN ANGOLA

Looking for accredited Winch load testing Inspection and certification in Angola by brake holding and brake rendering test…?  EIWAA is the right choice of yours to fulfill the load testing requirements as well as anchor windlass inspection. Anchor handling, hydraulic, tugger, capstan, and pneumatic winches of ships, FPSO, vessels and offshore rigs. For operational safety, capacity measurement, and performance of all kinds of winches used in maritime and offshore applications, EIWAA conducts winch load testing inspection and certification by water bag and water weights in FPSO and offshore rigs. Marine mooring winches, anchor handling winches, hydraulic and electrical winches, capstan and tugger winches, boat launching winches, and davit winches are among the types of winch load testing inspections.

Using a portable brake rendering test kit, a calibrated load cell, a water bag, test weights, and a digital dynamometer load cell, winch load testing inspection includes winch brake holding test, winch brake rendering test, and anchor windlass inspection. Winch inspection and load testing are carried out at ships, vessels, boats, and yachts by our certified lifting engineers with marine-class-approved surveyors. Winch certification, which guarantees the operational safety of the winch construction, mounting foundation, drum and spooling condition, brake holding, and rendering capacity, comes after load testing. The main checkpoints of winch inspection and certification include functional testing and certification of the gearbox, motor, and braking system; verification of SWL; overload protection; control system and emergency stop functionality; and operational performance of underload circumstances.

TUGGER WINCH CERTIFICATION IN ANGOLA

Tugger winch load testing inspection and certification in FPSO, Offshore rigs and vessels follow the code and regulations of,

  • Mooring equipment should be tested for safe lifting operation according to SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea), regulations Chapter II-1: Machinery and Electrical Installations.
  • MSC.1/Circ.1175: Onboard Towing and Mooring Equipment rules and regulations.
  • Marine classification rules for ship Designing Mooring Arrangements, requirements and methods of Right Mooring Equipment and Fittings (MSC.1/Circ.1619, 2019).
  • Classification for the Inspection and testing of Mooring Equipment’s, requirements, methods, rules and regulations of mooring Lines (MSC.1/Circ.1620, 2019).
  • ISO 3730:2012: Mooring winches requirements, methods and testing.
  • ISO 1704:2007: Shipboard steel wire ropes: SWL and MBL requirements.

WINCH BRAKE HOLDING TEST IN ANGOLA

The yearly inspection and testing of mooring winches in boats and ships includes brake rendering, pull, and holding tests to ensure there is no slippage or overload. To make sure that the brake rendering and its capacity or slips during any type of loading at SWL or proof load are not putting undue strain on the mooring lines and equipment, mooring winches must undergo yearly and periodic checks. Our mooring winch brake rendering testing kit verified the safety assurance, IMO and LEEA standard compliance, controlled testing, and non-destructive evaluation services requirements.

The mooring winch’s proof load and brake holding capacity are tested by the IACS-approved load testing experts using hydraulic jacks, a calibrated dynamometer load cell, and lifting inspection equipment.

ANCHOR WINDLASS INSPECTION

Anchor windlass testing and inspection are essential for safe marine operations and compliance with class standards. Using calibrated dynamometer load cells, shackles, and slings, our class surveyors perform visual inspection, NDT inspection, functional testing, and pull testing of anchor windlass. Eddy current testing, magnetic particle testing, and dye penetrant testing are examples of NDT inspections that can guarantee cracks and linear indicators during overloading.

  • MSC/Circ.1175: The MSC/Circ.1175 Guidance on Onboard Towing and Mooring Equipment outlines specifications and procedures for the safe operation and testing of anchoring equipment.
  • MSC.1/Circ.1619 & 1620 (2019) : MSC.1/Circ.1619 & 1620 (2019) contain load testing inspection, and certification of mooring and anchoring systems.
