Frequently Asked Questions
Q
What is the maximum continuous operating temperature of this cable?
The cable supports a continuous maximum temperature of 246 ℃ (480 °F). For short-term use, it can withstand up to 280 ℃ (540 °F) for 1 hour, or 260 ℃ (500 °F) for up to 8 hours.
Q
What is the cable's breaking strength and recommended working tension?
The cable has a breaking strength of 20 kN (4,500 lbs). The maximum suggested working tension is 10 kN (2,250 lbs), which is 50% of the breaking strength to ensure a safe operating margin.
Q
What type of insulation material is used, and why?
The cable uses PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy alkane) insulation with a diameter of 2.64 mm. PFA is chosen for its excellent high-temperature resistance, chemical inertness, and superior dielectric properties — making it ideal for demanding downhole environments.
Q
What is the voltage rating and insulation resistance of this cable?
The cable is rated at 1200 VDC. Its insulation resistance is exceptionally high at 15,000 MΩ·km (50,000 MΩ·kft), ensuring reliable signal integrity and electrical safety in high-temperature well logging applications.
Q
What is the minimum shave (sheave) diameter required for this cable?
The minimum sheave diameter for this cable is 320 mm (13 inches). Using a sheave smaller than this minimum can cause excessive bending stress on the armor wires and may reduce the cable's service life.
Q
What are the armor construction details and their breaking strengths?
The cable features a double-armor design. The inner armor consists of 12 wires at 0.79 mm diameter, and the outer armor consists of 18 wires at 0.79 mm diameter. Both inner and outer armor wires have an average breaking strength of 867 N (195 lbs) per wire.
