Abstract:Due to the structure and different service environment, steel rope test is difficulty. The principle of electromagnetic ultrasonic guidedwave technology was introduced. Application of electromagnetic ultrasonic guidedwave technology on steel rope test was test verified. Because of ultrasonic will spread in steel rope as guidedwave, the ultrasonic signal of defections will be immediately indicated. Long distance and fast steel rope test will be fulfilled. 
