Several Suncor Stainless products have lot numbers assigned to them with Wire Rope and Master Links being the most notable items.
Wire Rope: When a shipment of wire rope is received it receives a lot number unique to each individual reel. These lot numbers can be found on the suncorall on sun-5a™ (K) K:\ISO-9001\ ISO Logs\ Manufacturing Lot
Numbers Log.

Year Next Sequential # Wire Rope
When a length of wire is removed from this reel, the lot number is a fixed to that length of wire rope. When these products are shipped, the lot number(s) are recorded on the packing slip as well as in SX. Lot numbers can be located on the suncorall sun-5a™ (K) K:\ISO-9001\ ISO Logs\ Manufacturing Lot Numbers Log.
Master Links: Master Links and Master Link Assemblies are required to be 100% proof load tested before they can be placed in inventory. Typically, when a shipment is received, they are sent to the Quality Control lab, where they get visually inspected for defects and measured for compliance to Suncor’s specifications. Next, they are placed on our Wirop 70 foot long 50 ton tester and each link is pulled to its designed proof load. The Wirop produces its own report that also generates a certificate number.
