According to ASME B30.26, swivel hoist rings shall be marked to show which of the following items listed below?

• A. Torque value
• B. Maximum load
• C. Load center
• D. Manufacturer name

Answer: (A)

The important idea here is that the safe use of swivel hoist rings depends on applying the correct installation torque. The torque value is marked on the ring so you know exactly how tight to screw it in to achieve the rated load. If you don’t tighten to that specific torque, you may not develop the proper clamping force, which can lead to the ring loosening, binding, or failing under load. The torque specification is what guarantees that the load path is secured and the rated capacity is reliable.

Other markings like maximum load or manufacturer name are important in general, but the requirement being tested focuses on ensuring you apply the correct torque during installation to realize the proper performance of the ring.
