kötéltérték

Kötéltérték is a Hungarian term that translates to "rope value" or "cable value." It is primarily used in the context of estimating the value of a used rope or cable, particularly in industrial, maritime, or construction settings. This valuation considers several factors to determine its remaining utility and potential resale price.

The core of kötéltérték assessment involves evaluating the physical condition of the rope or cable. This includes checking for signs of wear and tear such as fraying, kinks, cuts, corrosion (in the case of wire ropes), or damage to insulation (for electrical cables). The length and diameter of the rope or cable are also crucial, as these determine its overall material quantity and potential applications.

Furthermore, the material composition plays a significant role. Steel wire ropes, synthetic fiber ropes (like nylon or polyester), and natural fiber ropes will all have different degradation rates and market values. The original intended use and the remaining strength or load-bearing capacity are also considered. For instance, a rope that has been used for heavy lifting might have a lower kötéltérték than one used for less demanding purposes, even if visually they appear similar.

Ultimately, kötéltérték is not a standardized or universally defined metric but rather a practical estimation used by those dealing with used ropes and cables to gauge their residual worth for reuse, recycling, or scrap.
