Cavicel, Conducting Value
CAVICEL
Chemical plant, refinery and petrochemical plant, power plants, off-shore and marine installations are crucial in the current global economy. The process control and measuring in these premises is also critical for the value created there. Thats why the right instrumentation cable can make the difference. The role of this wide range of specific products is to assure connections where signal can be transmitted with reliability and safety, and where installation conditions have been carefully considered.
A few standards, a lot of different products

Standards are known for providing reliability and avoiding uncertainty. As of today, only a few international standards are available just for instrumentation cables. On the other hand, any projects and any installations have their own singularity. Unique size cable doesnt fit all situations. The designing of the right cable demands a careful and mindful evaluation of a lot of variables: so many materials such as insulations and jackets, different screens, different grade of protection for mechanical stress. In addition, different conditions like electrical characteristics, working conditions, type of installation need also to be considered. Thats what we mean when we offer properly designed, manufactured and tested cables. Thats what we keep in mind when we say that CAVICEL brand affords reliability and certainty.

Construction and General Information
Conductors
For instrumentation cables conductors are generally copper for signal transmission or special alloy, for thermocouple /compensating cables. Conductors can generally be according to EN 60288: class 1 solid class 2 stranded class 5 flexible
Type of conductors are chosen according to electrical characteristics, required flexibility, type of connection systems or specific installation conditions, for example: in presence of vibration or movement or reduced bending radius is preferable class 5 flexible conductor, class 1 solid conductor is preferable for permanent installation, crimping termination, in presence of corrosive atmosphere, high temperature or to facilitate the soldering is preferable tinned conductor.
Insulation
Many materials can be used as insulation for instrumentation cables: working conditions need to be taken into consideration to choose the right material. Material can be divided into two classes: thermoplastic and thermoset (crosslinked). Thermoplastic material are more sensitive to high temperatures, as material melts at the increase of temperature, while thermoset, due to stable polymeric chain bonds are more resistant to temperature and deformation. In the first class there are the most popular insulations for these types of cables such as PE and PVC for general installation conditions and the new generation of LSZH thermoplastic materials (low smoke zero halogen). Second class includes, for example, XLPE, silicone rubber, other rubbers such as EPR, HEPR, EVA. Special technopolymer can be used in case of specific installation condition, such as fluoropolymer or technopolymer materials. For fire resistant cables two types of insulation are used: silicone or mica tape plus XLPE (or other thermoset compounds). Table Materials on page 11 is a general guide for the choice of insulation and jacketing materials.
Cabling
Instrumentation cables can be laid-up in concentric construction, in pairs, in triples, in quads. In case of quad, this is normally considered a two-pair element, the connection is done using opposed cores for one circuit. Twisting is important to reduce noise in circuits and also the lay of twist in some constructions must be carefully considered. In some application, in order to reduce interference between cabling elements, the length of twist of adjacent elements (pairs) must be different. With individual screen on each element, the above is not necessary. Communication wire or couple can be added to total cabling of elements, if required.
Screening
Screens are often used in instrumentation cables to prevent or reduce possible interference in cables that can be caused by the following reasons: Cross-talk from adjacent pairs or triples; Interference induced by external source such as electrical equipments, machinery, power line. Screens can be: Aluminium/polyester tape with a tinned copper drain wire, the most popular construction Copper/polyester tape with a tinned copper drain wire, for a better screen effect Bare copper braid for electromagnetic interference or when the cable is subject to movements Tinned copper braid for electromagnetic interference in presence of corrosive atmosphere or high temperature Aluminium/polyester or copper/polyester tapes normally have a total thickness from 25 to 100 m, according to standards and are wrapped with an overlap > 125% to assure a full coverage even in case of bending. In continuous contact with metallic side there is a drain wire, normally tinned copper, 0.5 sqmm, stranded or solid. Copper braid normally has a coverage from 80% to 95%. This type of screen presents a lower electrical resistance, a very good protection also to electromagnetic noises and a higher mechanical resistance compared to aluminium/polyester tape. It is suitable for mobile applications. Screens can be applied to each pair/triples (individual screen) and/or on the bundle of the cable (overall screen).
Armouring
Metallic armour are used when cables have to be installed direct buried, or if mechanical protection is required. Following points must be considered: Required tensile load Expected pressure on cable during service Protection against rodent Protection against accidental damage Minimum required bending radius. SWA: single layer of galvanized steel wires, with diameters according to relevant standards, coverage min. 90%. This armour assures a very good mechanical protection and tensile strength. An additional counterspiral tape increases solidity, if required. GSWB: galvanized steel wire braid, diameter of wire: 0.20 0.25 0.30 0.40 mm, with coverage of > 80%. It assures a good mechanical resistance, allowing a lower bending radius compared to other armour. It is preferable when there is movement or vibration. For special application is possible to use stainless steel, tinned copper or special alloy wires. GSTA: galvanized steel tape armour, composed by two tapes with overlapped edge; thickness of each tape: 0.20 0.30 0.40 mm, according to cable diameter. It grants a coverage > 100%. Very good crush resistance, but fair tensile strength. Brass tape of minimum thickness 0.075 mm can be used for special applications. GSFA: galvanized steel flat armour. It is composed by flat wire of thickness 0.6 mm or 0.8 mm, it is similar to SWA, but with higher mechanical protection.
Sheath
Many compounds can be used as internal/external protection of cables. Working condition need to be considered for the right choice. PVC, PE and LSZH are the most popular materials, but we have to consider that different grades are available to meet specific working conditions. Anyway the following conditions have to be evaluated: Type of installation (indoor/outdoor, direct buried) Possible presence of humidity, oil, chemicals Behaviour in case of a fire (fire propagation, fire resistance, emission of gases and smoke) Range of temperature UV resistance in case of sun exposure Table Materials on page 11 is a general guide for the choice of insulation and jacketing materials.
Protection
In addition to mechanical protections, special protections can be considered for specific installations: Moisture barrier If moisture barrier is specified it shall be applied over the total cabling of elements and is possible to choose two alternatives: Water swellable tapes
Laminated sheath, consisting of a longitudinal overlapped metallic foil, bonded to an extruded sheath. Lead Sheath It is applied between two other sheaths and is the best protection against aggressive chemicals. This is an expensive solution, increases weight and bending radius. It presents poor vibration resistance and normally an armour is required to protect it from crushing. Hi-Pack It is an alternative to Lead Sheath and is composed by a longitudinal overlapped aluminium copolimer coated tape bonded to HDPE jacket and additional special alloy of polyamide/ polypropylene sheath. Excellent protection against corrosion and humidity. Excellent impact resistance that in some cases prevents the use of the armour This protection has a lower weight compared to lead sheath, cables have a smaller diameter, with a reduction of costs. Hi-Pack is the right choice to protect the environment.
Noise
For transducer connection to the instrument, the cable transmits a very low EMF signal. A noise free signal is important to avoid mistakes. Thus the cable must be screened against static or magnetic fields which can induce unwanted EMF. There are four different sources of noise, as follows:
Thermocouple extension and compensating cables

A typical system to measure temperature in a plant is with thermocouples. This system consists of a sensor (thermocouple), a cable to transmit the signal, and a measuring device, normally in a central control room. Sensors are made by different materials, and conductors in thermocouple cables must be chosen according to the type of sensors used. The cables connect the measuring junction (normally defined hot junction) to the reference junction (defined cold junction): the difference in temperature between these two points generates an electro motive force (EMF) that is than converted in temperature by a measuring device. In the case the material used for conductors has the same chemical composition as the corresponding thermocouple, the cable is defined Thermocouple extension cable. In the case the material used for conductors is different from the thermocouple but display the same EMF value, the cable is defined Thermocouple compensating cable. Conductor size is selected according to the length of the connection or the presence of electromagnetic noises: the greater the length or the greater the noises, the largest shall be the size of the conductor. Standard sizes are 20 AWG (about 0.5 mm2), 18 AWG (about 1 mm2) and 16 AWG (about 1.3 mm2), solid or stranded conductors. If a better accuracy is required, Special grade (also called Class 1 to IEC 60584) rather than Standard (also called Class 2 to IEC 60584) should be chosen. Materials, thermoelectric voltage and distinctive colours are defined mostly by the following standards: IEC 60584 ANSI MC 96.1 Other standards such as BS, NF and DIN can be applied.
Static Noise
This is interference caused by coupling of capacity between external electrical field from power line or another voltage source and the cable. To eliminate this type of interference the best method is to interpose a shield which forms a capacitor when connected to the earth. A shield of aluminium/ polyester, 100 % coverage is recommended.
Magnetic Noise
Generally low frequency electromagnetic field due to power cables, motors, etc. can induce EMF into the instrumentation cable. The twisting of conductors provides a good magnetic noise reduction. Other reductions are given by steel conduit, armours (high inductance material). In some particular cases low resisting screen (i.e. copper braids, copper tapes) may be necessary.
Common-Mode Noise
This is typical interference caused when the instrumentation loop is earthed on two sides with different potential. To avoid this noise the shield, instrument or hot junction of thermocouple must be commonly earthed.
Cross Talk Noise

This is caused by unbalanced capacitance from adjacent cabling elements of different construction. To reduce this noise for pair/ triad/quad cables, different lays of twist are used or more effectively each pair/triad/ quad is individually shielded (i.e. aluminium/polyester 100 % coverage) and commonly earthed.

This table is only a guide with main properties of materials. Materials used as insulation or jacket, can be defined in different way. One is to use a general term, such as PVC. In this case the material is defined by his base polymer, but not the specific characteristic, such as temperature resistance, resistance to environment, flexibility, flame retardant properties Another way to define a material is to use standard code, for example type TM1 according to EN 50363, or LTS3 according to BS 7655. In this case all specific requirements of material are defined, but if additional requirements are necessary, these have to be specified (e.g. UV resistance). The last way to define a material is to use abbreviations that define a specific characteristic, such as LSZH, that means Low Smoke Zero Halogen. In this case the behaviour in case of fire is specified but other characteristics of material are not pinpointed. A last comment is related to other indication such as LSF: this means Low Smoke and Fume, but is too generic to define the type of material. This is why it is necessary to pay attention to the required product, to verify that all performances are clearly specified, and verify that manufacturer has considered all this to design the cables. In CAVICEL our Technical Department is at your disposal to help you in the right choice.

Fire Tests
Cables have to be properly designed, manufactured and also tested. Many tests are carried out during manufacturing or as final inspections. Many of them are attended by customers or third part inspectors. The tests are part of R&D, an extremely strategic activity for a Company and this is the reason why CAVICEL has invested in this field. You can find here the main tests concerning the behaviour of cables under fire conditions, and our main test equipments. It is important to verify all required performances and give the customers the full compliance to the requirements. CAVICEL is proud of its own laboratories and customers are always welcome to visit them.

Recommendation for handling and storage

Handling
When handling drums, reasonable precautions should be taken to avoid damage to the cable and injury to people. Due regard should be paid to the mass of the drum, the method and direction of rolling and the method of lifting.
Unwinding
To unwind cables during installation, please refer to following pictures.

Storage
Cable drums should be stored so that the drum flanges do not contact cable on another drum.
Battens, where applied, should not be removed from drums until the cables are to be installed. Care should be taken to avoid injury with nails when removing battens. To remove possible plastic foil on cable, do not use sharp tools that could damage cable jacket.
CORRECT
INCORRECT
Cables stored at temperatures which are below those recommended for installation conditions, should not be subjected to any mechanical stress including shocks, impact, bending and torsion. If cables are not fully protected (with battens or plastic foils for example), store should be in a protected area and not weather-beaten. The cable end should be sealed to prevent ingress of moisture during transport and storage.

We have tried, with this catalogue, to show you our experience, our way of thinking and operating in the creation of instrumentation cables. We believe the cables you have seen here are good practical examples. When it comes to your own cable we can co-design it together: you let us know your specic situation and we will create your cable all around it. Cavicel can create it for you. Thank you for calling Cavicel.
