An on line test method and test system of differential type temperature-compensating bridge rope force based on the magnetoelasticity is disclosed. The bridge rope is the ferromagnetic material and placed in the specific magnetic field, the bridge rope will be magnetized; the magnetic conductivity of bridge rope will change with the variety of stress condition and temperature. The sensor comprises operating magnetic circuit and reference magnetic circuit, in every designing of the magnetic circuit, the bridge rope is just a part of the magnetic circuit and not as the iron core of the actuating coil and the measuring coil. The reference magnetic circuit of sensor just feels the changes of temperature, but the operating magnetic circuit feels the changes of temperature and rope force, the output signal of the operating magnetic circuit and the reference magnetic circuit is differential to eliminate the temperature effect, the value of rope force can be tested with the corresponding relationship between the change of magnetic conductivity and rope force. The test method of rope force in the invention characterized in high accuracy, well dynamic response, low price of sensor, convenience of mounting and conditioning, long service life, strong overcurrent protection power, fitting for static and dynamic measurement, sampling just in time in all-weather, the testing results are free of effects of anticorrosive coating and protective plastic casing which is in surface of bridge.
