💬 Frequently Asked Questions
QWhat is the maximum continuous operating temperature of this cable?
The cable supports a continuous maximum temperature of 204 ℃ (400 °F). For short-duration high-heat applications, it can withstand up to 260 ℃ (500 °F) for 1 hour, or 232 ℃ (450 °F) for up to 8 hours.
QWhat is the cable's breaking strength and recommended working tension?
The cable has a breaking strength of 30 kN (6,750 lbs). The maximum suggested working tension is 15 kN (3,370 lbs), which is 50% of the breaking strength — a standard safety margin for wireline operations.
QWhat insulation materials are used, and why does it matter?
The cable uses both FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) and ETFE (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene) insulation. These fluoropolymer materials provide excellent chemical resistance, high-temperature stability, and superior electrical insulation — critical for downhole environments.
QWhat is the voltage rating and insulation resistance of this cable?
The cable is rated at 1,200 VDC with an insulation resistance of 15,000 MΩ·km (50,000 MΩ·kft). This high insulation resistance ensures reliable signal and power transmission even in demanding downhole conditions.
QWhat is the minimum shave (sheave) diameter required for this cable?
The minimum sheave diameter is 350 mm (14 inches). Using a sheave smaller than this specification can cause excessive bending stress on the armor wires, reducing service life and risking premature mechanical failure.
QHow is the dual-armor construction beneficial for wireline applications?
The double-armor design — with a 12-wire inner layer and an 18-wire outer layer — provides both torsional balance and high tensile strength. Each armor wire has a breaking strength of 1,162 N (261 lbs), giving the cable exceptional durability for deep wellbore logging and intervention operations.
