CORFLEX TYPE MC-HL & MV-105 or MC-HL OIL & GAS CABLES
INDEX Instrumentation Cables - Pairs and Triads (0V*)... 2 - The Original MC-HL Technology In 1958 Canada Wire and Cable, which s now part of Nexans, developed the first continuous corrugated and welded cable sheath. This product proved to be ideal for the oil and gas industry where liquid and gas ingress in hazardous operating conditions is a huge safety issue. The CORFLEX trade mark was registered in 19, and more than years later continues to be recognized as a symbol of excellence for continuously corrugated cable in the MC-HL and MV-105 or MC-HL markets. Power and Control Cables - Multi-conductor w/ Bare Ground(s) (0V*)... - 5 Composite Power and Control Cables - Multi-conductor w/ Bare Ground (0V*)... 6-7 Power Cables - 0V* and Conductors with Bare Ground(s).. 8-9 Medium Voltage Cables - 5kV - 1% Levels...10-11 - 8kV - 100% Level...10-11 - kv - 100% & 1% Levels...12-1 Continuous corrugated and welded, impervious aluminum sheath with no more than 0.2% trace copper provides complete protection against liquid and gas ingress. Flame Retardant All CORFLEX cables pass UL 16 and IEEE 8 vertical tray fire tests at 70,000 BTU/hr, IEC 2- category A fire test, IEEE 12 and CSA FT. CORFLEX rated less than 5 kv also passes ICEA T-29-5 fire test at 210,000 BTU/hr. Pulling Instructions...1 Pulling Tension Tables...

Nexans CORFLEX cables are designed for reliable performance in a variety of industrial, commercial and utility applications including oil and gas applications requiring an externally armored cable. Exceptional fire ratings, impact resistance, flexibility and an impervious metallic sheath are key features of this popular cable product. CORFLEX installation may be in wet or dry locations, in trays, troughs, wireways, directly buried or embedded in concrete. It can also be used in plenums (with no outer coverings), ducts and other airways per NEC 08 and NEC 11 Article 0.22. Nexans CORFLEX MC-HL and MV-105 or MC-HL cables can be installed in hazardous locations designated Class I, II & III, Divisions 1 & 2 as per NEC 08 and NEC 11 (HL Rated). CORFLEX MC-HL cables are designed for use on power and control circuits with 0 volt rating. Cables are suitable for use as feeders and branch circuits for power, control, lighting and signaling as per NEC 08 and NEC 11 Articles, 725 & 727. CORFLEX MV-105 or MC-HL cables in this catalog are designed for use on power circuits. Cables are suitable for use as per NEC 08 and NEC 11 Article 28 as feeders and branch circuits. CORFLEX cables are UL Listed as Marine Shipboard Cable (File E8619) 0V/1000V. Instrumentation Power & Control VFD Medium Voltage AMPACITY RATINGS Based on NEC 11 Table 10.(B)(16) for not more than three current-carrying conductors (where the th conductor is the neutral of a -phase, wire system) in raceway, cable, or earth (direct buried), based on an ambient temperature of C (86 F). Refer to Table 10.(B)(2) for the ampacity correction factors where the ambient temperature is other than C (86 F). See Notes on Pages 11-1 1

CORFLEX PULLING INSTRUCTIONS Certain installations require the pulling of CORFLEX into ducts or trays. These installations require careful planning and execution. The following provides information on how to calculate tensions developed during pulling and what precautions to take to prevent damage to the cable. Pulling Tension The maximum tension applied to a cable is limited to prevent damage or distortion of cable components which could reduce the life or reliability of the cable. The method of pulling is significant in that different methods will result in different stresses on critical cable components for the same overall tension. Nexans AmerCable recommends that CORFLEX MC-HL Instrumentation 0V cables are pulled by means of the aluminum sheath and jacket with a grip applied over the jacketed core, sheath and overall jacket. All other CORFLEX cable types described in this catalog should be pulled by means of the conductors, aided with a grip over the outer aluminum sheath. The conductors and the sheath must be pulled together. Maximum allowable pulling tensions for CORFLEX cables should never exceed the values shown in pulling tension table. Calculating Pulling Tensions The tension developed in any Straight Section of duct is calculated as: T = L x W x f lbf where L = section length (feet) W = cable weight per unit length (lb/foot) f = coefficient of dynamic friction The tension developed in any Bend is calculated as: T = T1 x e fa lbf where T1 = tension at bend entrance (lbf) e = base of natural logarithms (2.71828) f = coefficient of dynamic friction a = angle of bend (radians) or e fa is given in the following table for common conditions: Bend Angle f=0. f=0. f=0.5 f=0.0 1.08 1.17 1. 1.2 5 1.1 1.27 1.2 1.7 1.17 1.7 1. 1.52 90 1.27 1. 1.7 1.88 Coefficients of dynamic friction with lubricant are given in the following table for common duct and cable jacket materials. These coefficients can be used for calculation of tensions. Coefficient Duct Type Cable of Friction PVC PVC 0. PE PVC 0. Fiber PVC 0.0 Asbestos Cement PVC 0.70 Considerations must be given to Side Wall Bearing Pressure (SWBP) when pulling CORFLEX through a bend. The SWBP is calculated as follows: SWBP = Pulling Tension Cable at Bend Exit (lbf) Radius of Bend (feet) For CORFLEX, Nexans AmerCable recommends a maximum SWBP of 0 pounds force/foot. During installation of the CORFLEX cable, it is recommended that the bend radii be as noted in the cable descriptions. Pulling in Duct It is extremely important for the success of any pull in duct to use approved lubricants. Lubricants must be compatible with the cable jacket and duct material. Lubricating the pulling rope will decrease the tension on the pulling equipment and more importantly will reduce the risk of damage to the inside of the duct which in turn can damage the cable. When designing the duct layout, it is suggested that the bends be concentrated near the end from which the cable is to be pulled. This practice will result in lower tensions. In some cases, the tensions resulting from alternative directions should be calculated. Pulling in Trays & Trenches For the installation of CORFLEX in trays, rollers are normally used. Using well lubricated rollers and long radius sheaves at bends will result in a lower coefficient of friction when compared to duct. A coefficient of friction of 0. can be used when calculating pulling tension using rollers. For long pulls with bends it may be necessary to install assist pullers before the bends to reduce the tension on the cable entering a bend and reducing the risk of damage from excessive SWBP. The recommendations given above are intended to cover a wide variety of pulling conditions. It is possible, under ideal conditions, and with experienced supervision, to exceed these limits.
