Cathodic Protection Cable – HMWPE/KYNAR

DESCRIPTION & FEATURES :
This specification describes a stranded single conductor sizes 8 AWG thru 1/0 AWG with a dual insulation construction. The inner layer or the primary insulation is composed of KYNAR, a fluoropolymer material that has exceptional chemical resistance in the presents of chlorine, sulfuric acid, and hydrochloric acid. The outer insulating layer is high molecular weight polyethylene
(HMWPE) it exhibits superior dielectric and tensile strength and provides mechanical protection, and can withstand considerable abuse during installation.

APPLICATION :
KYNAR / HMWPE cables are used as deep anode lead wires where chlorine and hydrogen gases are generated. The cable can be directly installed in fresh, brackish, or salt waters.

STANDARDS :

• CONDUCTOR:
  Stranded bare or tinned copper conductor conforms to ASTM Spec B-3 and B-8.
• PRIMARY INSULATION:
  A homogeneous 40 mil wall of natural PVDF fluoropolymer (Kynar) shall be extruded around the conductor.
• JACKET:
  A 65 mil wall of high molecular weight polyethylene (HMWPE) shall be extruded around the primary insulation. The jacket conforms to ASTM Spec D 1248.

For identification purpose the cable shall be surface printed with, “Manufacturer name, Conductor size, AWG, KYNAR / HMWPE CATHODIC PROTECTION CABLE”
