TMT has written design or test specifications for just about every size and shape of cable imaginable. At first look, writing a cable design or test specification may seem simple, but, unfortunately, cable diameter and breaking strength do not adequately describe a cable's design or performance capabilities. Experience has shown that, to author a successful design or test specification, one must have an intimate understanding of cable mechanics and familiarity with the consequences of tensioning, bending, and twisting a cable. In addition, to properly write a cable design specification, one must have knowledge of the manufacturer's capabilities. TMT has a long history of dealing with many rope and cable manufactures, and we understand many of their needs, concerns, and capabilities. This blend of test experience, understanding cable mechanics, and relationships with a wide range of cable manufacturers gives us a unique perspective that can greatly increase your chance of success.

Almost needless to say, TMT provides full test reports that include an apparatus description, test procedure, and detailed results in the form of tables, graphs, diagrams, and pictures in either hard copy or electronically.
