Technical product Information CATHODIC PROTECTION CABLES Corrpro Companies Europe Limited Adam Street, Bowesfield Lane, Stockton on Tees, TS18 3HQ Telephone: (01642) 614106 (8 lines) Telex: 587388 Fax: (01642) 614100 E-mail: [email protected]KATHODICA™ CABLE Marketing its products under the brand name Kathodica™, CCEL is one of the Cathodic Protection industry's largest stockists of cable. The most commonly used types and construction are outlined in this data sheet. RECOMMENDED CABLE TYPES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS PVC Single Insulated - 6491X With a single layer of insulation offering the minimum of protection, this cable is not recommended for positive CP cables. XLPE/PVC-6181XY Cathodic Protection Cable. With a layer of XLPE insulation over the cable conductors and an outer sheath of PVC, this cable is suitable for most land based CP applications and general marine use. The outer PVC layer provide mechanical and abrasion resistance whilst the double insulation gives added security by reducing the likelihood of conductor damage. XLPE/PVC Armoured XLPE/PVC cable is available with a layer of steel wire armouring and further PVC sheath to provide added mechanical protection either where the cable is directly buried or not run inside conduit. EPR/CSP and Armoured This special cable is very resistant to chloride attack and although more expensive than XLPE/PVC, it provides far greater reliability when used in deepwell applications and offshore. It is also available with armouring and over sheath. PVDF (KYNAR)/Polyolefin (HMWPE) - BASCORAD™ BASCORAD™ offers the best resistance against chloride attack making it especially suitable for use in deepwell installations where nascent chlorine is present. The inner insulation is irradiated PVDF (KYNAR) and the outer sheath modified Polyolefin (HMWPE). HALAR/HMWPE BASCORAD™ is also produced (both metric and AWG conductor sizes) as HALAR®/HMPWE. HMWPE and HMWPE/PVC The thickness of the insulation on this type of cable is nominally the same as XLPE and XLPE/PVC. WHICH CONDUCTOR MATERIAL SHOULD BE USED Stranded conductors should always be used as they are more flexible than solid conductors and less prone to breakage during handling. Copper is more common than aluminium. However, whilst plain copper conductors are satisfactory for most Cathodic Protection applications, tinned copper is sometimes specified as it can be less susceptible to attack where exposed to water and moisture. RANGE AVAILABLE KATHODICA™ cable is manufactured from sizes 6 through to 185mm sq in both non armoured and armoured. CCEL stocks a range of commonly used sizes as follows: XLPE/PVC Red/Red or Black/Black: 6/10/16/25/35/50/70mm sq sizes Armoured Black: 10/16/25/35mm sq sizes Cables not stocked are normally available with short delivery time. Detailed conductor data is available for all KATHODICA™ AND BASCORAD™ cable. Note: CCEL standard cables are manufactured and stocked in both metric and AWG dimensions. Quality Assurance The CCEL KATHODICA™ range of cables conforms to the following international standards: Conductors: Plain stranded circular annealed copper to BS.6360 (IEC 228/78 class 2). Insulation: Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) to BS. 5468. Outer Sheath: PVC to BS.6746. Overall: Construction to BS.5467, IEC 502/83 (600/1000 V grade). Armouring: Steel wire to BS.1442. All cables are tested and approved by manufacturers with full ISO 9001 (BS.5750 Part1) who are in the main, BASEC approved. corrpro ®
