Inspection Considerations for G80 and G100 Alloy Master Link

Inspecting a Grade 100 master link, such as the G100 VQ MLX Master Link, typically involves a visual and tactile examination for signs of wear, damage, or deformation. Here are the general steps:

  1. Visual Inspection:

    • Look for any signs of wear, such as elongation of the link or excessive wear on the bearing surfaces.
    • Check for cracks, nicks, or gouges on the surface of the link.
    • Inspect the welds (if applicable) for any signs of cracking or incomplete penetration.
    • Look for any signs of heat damage, such as discoloration or distortion.
  2. Measurement:

    • Measure the dimensions of the master link to ensure it meets the manufacturer’s specifications.
    • Check the diameter of the pin and the width of the link to ensure they are within tolerance.
  3. Load Pin Inspection:

    • Ensure the load pin is free from cracks, nicks, or gouges.
    • Check the threads of the pin for wear or damage.
  4. Functional Check:

    • Check the functionality of the link, ensuring it opens and closes smoothly.
    • Verify that the locking mechanism, if present, engages properly.
  5. Documentation:

    • Keep a record of the inspection, including any measurements taken and observations made.
    • Note the date of inspection and the person performing the inspection.

It’s important to refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines and specifications for the specific inspection requirements of the Grade 100 master link you are using, as these may vary.

By performing these steps, you ensure that Grade 100 master links are safe for use and comply with all relevant standards and regulations. Regular inspections help prevent accidents and extend the life of your lifting equipment.

For more detailed guidelines, you can refer to resources such as:

  • OSHA standards
  • WorkSafeBC​ (WorkSafeBC)​​ (WorkSafeBC)
  • Manufacturer-specific guidelines from the product manual.

Always check your local laws and governing bodies in your region to ensure compliance with all relevant regulations and standards for chain sling inspections.
