Frequently Asked Questions
Q
What type of insulation materials are used in this cable construction?
This cable uses two insulation options: FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) with an outer diameter of 2.04 mm (0.0803") and ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene) with an outer diameter of 2.64 mm (0.1039"). Both materials offer excellent high-temperature resistance and electrical insulation properties suited for demanding downhole environments.
Q
What is the maximum continuous operating temperature of this cable?
The cable supports a continuous maximum temperature of 204 ℃ (400 °F). For short-duration exposure, it can withstand up to 232 ℃ (450 °F) for 8 hours and up to 260 ℃ (500 °F) for 1 hour, making it suitable for high-temperature oil and gas well applications.
Q
What is the cable's breaking strength and recommended working tension?
The cable has a total breaking strength of 20 kN (4,500 lbs). The maximum suggested working tension is 10 kN (2,250 lbs), which represents a 2:1 safety factor. This ensures reliable mechanical performance during deployment and retrieval operations in wellbore environments.
Q
What are the electrical specifications for voltage rating and insulation resistance?
The cable is rated at 1200 VDC. It offers an exceptionally high insulation resistance of 15,000 MΩ·km (50,000 MΩ·kft), ensuring minimal signal leakage. The conductor resistance is 18 Ω/km (5.5 Ω/kft) at 20 ℃, providing stable electrical performance for measurement-while-drilling and logging tools.
Q
What is the minimum shave (sheave) diameter recommended for this cable?
The minimum recommended sheave diameter for this cable is 320 mm (13"). Using a sheave smaller than this specification may cause excessive bending stress on the armor wires and conductor, potentially leading to premature fatigue failure or reduced service life.
Q
How is the armor construction designed, and what is the breaking strength of each armor layer?
The cable features a double-armor construction. The inner armor consists of 12 wires each measuring 0.79 mm (0.0311") in diameter, while the outer armor is made up of 18 wires of the same diameter. Both the inner and outer armor layers have an average individual wire breaking strength of 867 N (195 lbs), providing robust mechanical protection and tensile load-bearing capacity.
