Method for determining the replacement state of wear of a rope made of a textile fibre material

A method for determining a replacement state of wear of a rope made of a textile fibre material, comprising:

• monitoring, during use of the rope, an elongation of the rope over its entire length and discarding the rope if the elongation of the rope over its entire length exceeds a first predetermined maximum value (%), and
• also monitoring local elongation of a discrete rope section and discarding the rope if the local elongation of the discrete rope section exceeds a second predetermined maximum value (%),
• wherein the second predetermined maximum value (%) of the local elongation of the discrete rope section is greater than the first predetermined maximum value (%) of the elongation of the rope over its entire length;
• and
• wherein the second predetermined maximum value (%) of the local elongation of the discrete rope section exceeds the first predetermined maximum value (%) of the elongation of the rope over its entire length by a factor ranging from 1.2 to 20.

• wherein the discrete rope section ends up lying in a bending zone when the rope is used.
