Abstract
A method and a device for cleaning and exposing portions of limited length of strands of steel wire which are surrounded by a corrosion protection substance, particularly grease, wherein the strands of steel wire and the corrosion protection substance are enclosed by a sheathing of synthetic material. Initially, the sheathing is severed at a distance from the end of the strand corresponding to the length of the portion to be cleaned and an opening is produced. Subsequently, a flushing pipe is connected to the sheathing at the end of the strand and the strand is cleaned by admitting a flushing liquid under high pressure into the space surrounded by the sheathing, so that the corrosion protection substance and the flushing liquid emerge at the opening. Finally, the sheathing is removed entirely from the strand by pulling off the sheathing.
