Frequently Asked Questions
Q
What type of insulation materials are used in this cable, and what are their differences?
A
This cable is available with two insulation options: FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) with an outer diameter of 2.14 mm, and ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene) with an outer diameter of 2.76 mm. Both materials offer excellent high-temperature resistance and chemical stability, while ETFE provides a slightly larger insulation diameter for enhanced mechanical protection.
Q
What is the maximum operating temperature this cable can withstand?
A
The cable supports three temperature ratings depending on exposure duration: up to 260 °C (500 °F) for 1-hour peak operation, 232 °C (450 °F) for 8-hour sustained use, and a continuous maximum of 204 °C (400 °F). This makes it well-suited for high-temperature downhole environments.
Q
What is the cable's breaking strength, and what working tension is recommended?
A
The cable has a total breaking strength of 30 kN (6,700 lbs). For safe and reliable operation, the maximum suggested working tension is 15 kN (3,300 lbs), which is 50% of the breaking strength. This safety margin helps extend cable service life and prevents unexpected failures during deployment.
Q
What voltage and insulation resistance ratings does this cable offer?
A
The cable carries a voltage rating of 1,200 VDC, suitable for powering downhole instruments. Its insulation resistance is rated at 15,000 MΩ·km (50,000 MΩ·kft), indicating extremely high dielectric integrity and minimal leakage current under normal operating conditions.
Q
What is the minimum sheave diameter required for this cable?
A
The minimum sheave (pulley) diameter for this cable is 320 mm (13 inches). Using a sheave smaller than this specification may cause excessive bending stress on the armor wires and conductor, potentially leading to premature fatigue or structural damage to the cable.
Q
How does the dual-armor construction benefit cable performance?
A
The dual-armor design consists of an inner armor (15×0.61 mm, 600 N breaking strength per wire) and an outer armor (15×0.89 mm, 1,300 N breaking strength per wire). This layered structure provides superior tensile strength, crush resistance, and torque balance, making the cable highly reliable for deep well logging and wireline operations.
