CORFLEXreg Pulling InstructionsCertain installations require thepulling of CORFLEXreg into ducts ortrays These installations requirecareful planning and executionThe following provides informationon how to calculate tensions
developed during pulling andwhat precautions to take toprevent damage to the cable
Pulling TensionThe maximum tension applied to acable is limited to prevent damageor distortion of cable componentswhich could reduce the life orreliability of the cable The methodof pulling is significant in that
different methods will resultin different stresses on criticalcable components for the sameoverall tension Nexans AmerCablerecommends that CORFLEX MC-HLInstrumentation 600V cables arepulled by means of the aluminumsheath and jacket with a gripapplied over the jacketed coresheath and overall jacket All otherCORFLEX cable types described
in this catalog should be pulledby means of the conductorsaided with a grip over the outeraluminum sheath The conductors and the sheath must be pulled together Maximum allowablepulling tensions for CORFLEXcables should never exceed thevalues shown in pulling tensiontable
Calculating Pulling TensionsThe tension developed in anyStraight Section of duct iscalculated as
T = L x W x f lbf whereL = section length (feet)W = cable weight per unit length
(lbfoot)f = coefficient of dynamic friction
The tension developed in anyBend is calculated asT = T1 x efa lbf whereT1 = tension at bend entrance (lbf)e = base of natural logarithms
(271828)
f = coefficient of dynamic frictiona = angle of bend (radians)or efa is given in the following tablefor common conditionsBendAngle f=015 f=030 f=035 f=040
30deg 108 117 120 12345deg 113 127 132 13760deg 117 137 144 15290deg 127 160 173 188
Coefficients of dynamic frictionwith lubricant are given in thefollowing table for common ductand cable jacket materials Thesecoefficients can be used forcalculation of tensions
CoefficientDuct Type Cable Jacket of Friction
PVC PVC 050PE PVC 030
Fiber PVC 040Asbestos Cement PVC 070
Considerations must be given toSide Wall Bearing Pressure (SWBP) when pulling CORFLEXthrough a bend The SWBP iscalculated as follows
For CORFLEX Nexans AmerCablerecommends a maximum SWBPof 500 pounds forcefoot Duringinstallation of the CORFLEX cableit is recommended that the bendradii be as noted in thecable descriptions
Pulling in DuctIt is extremely important for thesuccess of any pull in duct to useapproved lubricants Lubricantsmust be compatible with the cablejacket and duct material
Lubricating the pulling rope willdecrease the tension on the pullingequipment and more importantlywill reduce the risk of damage tothe inside of the duct whichin turn can damage the cableWhen designing the duct layoutit is suggested that the bends beconcentrated near the end fromwhich the cable is to be pulledThis practice will result in lowertensions In some cases thetensions resulting from alternativedirections should be calculated
Pulling in Trays amp TrenchesFor the installation of CORFLEX intrays rollers are normally usedUsing well lubricated rollers andlong radius sheaves at bends willresult in a lower coefficient of
friction when compared to ductA coefficient of friction of 015 canbe used when calculating pullingtension using rollers For long pullswith bends it may be necessary to
install assist pullers before thebends to reduce the tension onthe cable entering a bend andreducing the risk of damagefrom excessive SWBP
The recommendations given aboveare intended to cover a wide varietyof pulling conditions It is possibleunder ideal conditions and withexperienced supervision to exceedthese limits
For further guidance see IEEEPaper 84 T amp D 365-3 orcontact Nexans AmerCable

CORFLEXreg Pulling InstructionsCertain installations require thepulling of CORFLEXreg into ducts ortrays These installations requirecareful planning and executionThe following provides informationon how to calculate tensions
developed during pulling andwhat precautions to take toprevent damage to the cable
Pulling TensionThe maximum tension applied to acable is limited to prevent damageor distortion of cable componentswhich could reduce the life orreliability of the cable The methodof pulling is significant in that
different methods will resultin different stresses on criticalcable components for the sameoverall tension Nexans AmerCablerecommends that CORFLEX MC-HLInstrumentation 600V cables arepulled by means of the aluminumsheath and jacket with a gripapplied over the jacketed coresheath and overall jacket All otherCORFLEX cable types described
in this catalog should be pulledby means of the conductorsaided with a grip over the outeraluminum sheath The conductors and the sheath must be pulled together Maximum allowablepulling tensions for CORFLEXcables should never exceed thevalues shown in pulling tensiontable
Calculating Pulling TensionsThe tension developed in anyStraight Section of duct iscalculated as
T = L x W x f lbf whereL = section length (feet)W = cable weight per unit length
(lbfoot)f = coefficient of dynamic friction
The tension developed in anyBend is calculated asT = T1 x efa lbf whereT1 = tension at bend entrance (lbf)e = base of natural logarithms
(271828)
f = coefficient of dynamic frictiona = angle of bend (radians)or efa is given in the following tablefor common conditionsBendAngle f=015 f=030 f=035 f=040
30deg 108 117 120 12345deg 113 127 132 13760deg 117 137 144 15290deg 127 160 173 188
Coefficients of dynamic frictionwith lubricant are given in thefollowing table for common ductand cable jacket materials Thesecoefficients can be used forcalculation of tensions
CoefficientDuct Type Cable Jacket of Friction
PVC PVC 050PE PVC 030
Fiber PVC 040Asbestos Cement PVC 070
Considerations must be given toSide Wall Bearing Pressure (SWBP) when pulling CORFLEXthrough a bend The SWBP iscalculated as follows
For CORFLEX Nexans AmerCablerecommends a maximum SWBPof 500 pounds forcefoot Duringinstallation of the CORFLEX cableit is recommended that the bendradii be as noted in thecable descriptions
Pulling in DuctIt is extremely important for thesuccess of any pull in duct to useapproved lubricants Lubricantsmust be compatible with the cablejacket and duct material
Lubricating the pulling rope willdecrease the tension on the pullingequipment and more importantlywill reduce the risk of damage tothe inside of the duct whichin turn can damage the cableWhen designing the duct layoutit is suggested that the bends beconcentrated near the end fromwhich the cable is to be pulledThis practice will result in lowertensions In some cases thetensions resulting from alternativedirections should be calculated
Pulling in Trays amp TrenchesFor the installation of CORFLEX intrays rollers are normally usedUsing well lubricated rollers andlong radius sheaves at bends willresult in a lower coefficient of
friction when compared to ductA coefficient of friction of 015 canbe used when calculating pullingtension using rollers For long pullswith bends it may be necessary to
install assist pullers before thebends to reduce the tension onthe cable entering a bend andreducing the risk of damagefrom excessive SWBP
The recommendations given aboveare intended to cover a wide varietyof pulling conditions It is possibleunder ideal conditions and withexperienced supervision to exceedthese limits
For further guidance see IEEEPaper 84 T amp D 365-3 orcontact Nexans AmerCable

CORFLEXreg Pulling InstructionsCertain installations require thepulling of CORFLEXreg into ducts ortrays These installations requirecareful planning and executionThe following provides informationon how to calculate tensions
developed during pulling andwhat precautions to take toprevent damage to the cable
Pulling TensionThe maximum tension applied to acable is limited to prevent damageor distortion of cable componentswhich could reduce the life orreliability of the cable The methodof pulling is significant in that
different methods will resultin different stresses on criticalcable components for the sameoverall tension Nexans AmerCablerecommends that CORFLEX MC-HLInstrumentation 600V cables arepulled by means of the aluminumsheath and jacket with a gripapplied over the jacketed coresheath and overall jacket All otherCORFLEX cable types described
in this catalog should be pulledby means of the conductorsaided with a grip over the outeraluminum sheath The conductors and the sheath must be pulled together Maximum allowablepulling tensions for CORFLEXcables should never exceed thevalues shown in pulling tensiontable
Calculating Pulling TensionsThe tension developed in anyStraight Section of duct iscalculated as
T = L x W x f lbf whereL = section length (feet)W = cable weight per unit length
(lbfoot)f = coefficient of dynamic friction
The tension developed in anyBend is calculated asT = T1 x efa lbf whereT1 = tension at bend entrance (lbf)e = base of natural logarithms
(271828)
f = coefficient of dynamic frictiona = angle of bend (radians)or efa is given in the following tablefor common conditionsBendAngle f=015 f=030 f=035 f=040
30deg 108 117 120 12345deg 113 127 132 13760deg 117 137 144 15290deg 127 160 173 188
Coefficients of dynamic frictionwith lubricant are given in thefollowing table for common ductand cable jacket materials Thesecoefficients can be used forcalculation of tensions
CoefficientDuct Type Cable Jacket of Friction
PVC PVC 050PE PVC 030
Fiber PVC 040Asbestos Cement PVC 070
Considerations must be given toSide Wall Bearing Pressure (SWBP) when pulling CORFLEXthrough a bend The SWBP iscalculated as follows
For CORFLEX Nexans AmerCablerecommends a maximum SWBPof 500 pounds forcefoot Duringinstallation of the CORFLEX cableit is recommended that the bendradii be as noted in thecable descriptions
Pulling in DuctIt is extremely important for thesuccess of any pull in duct to useapproved lubricants Lubricantsmust be compatible with the cablejacket and duct material
Lubricating the pulling rope willdecrease the tension on the pullingequipment and more importantlywill reduce the risk of damage tothe inside of the duct whichin turn can damage the cableWhen designing the duct layoutit is suggested that the bends beconcentrated near the end fromwhich the cable is to be pulledThis practice will result in lowertensions In some cases thetensions resulting from alternativedirections should be calculated
Pulling in Trays amp TrenchesFor the installation of CORFLEX intrays rollers are normally usedUsing well lubricated rollers andlong radius sheaves at bends willresult in a lower coefficient of
friction when compared to ductA coefficient of friction of 015 canbe used when calculating pullingtension using rollers For long pullswith bends it may be necessary to
install assist pullers before thebends to reduce the tension onthe cable entering a bend andreducing the risk of damagefrom excessive SWBP
The recommendations given aboveare intended to cover a wide varietyof pulling conditions It is possibleunder ideal conditions and withexperienced supervision to exceedthese limits
For further guidance see IEEEPaper 84 T amp D 365-3 orcontact Nexans AmerCable

CORFLEXreg Pulling InstructionsCertain installations require thepulling of CORFLEXreg into ducts ortrays These installations requirecareful planning and executionThe following provides informationon how to calculate tensions
developed during pulling andwhat precautions to take toprevent damage to the cable
Pulling TensionThe maximum tension applied to acable is limited to prevent damageor distortion of cable componentswhich could reduce the life orreliability of the cable The methodof pulling is significant in that
different methods will resultin different stresses on criticalcable components for the sameoverall tension Nexans AmerCablerecommends that CORFLEX MC-HLInstrumentation 600V cables arepulled by means of the aluminumsheath and jacket with a gripapplied over the jacketed coresheath and overall jacket All otherCORFLEX cable types described
in this catalog should be pulledby means of the conductorsaided with a grip over the outeraluminum sheath The conductors and the sheath must be pulled together Maximum allowablepulling tensions for CORFLEXcables should never exceed thevalues shown in pulling tensiontable
Calculating Pulling TensionsThe tension developed in anyStraight Section of duct iscalculated as
T = L x W x f lbf whereL = section length (feet)W = cable weight per unit length
(lbfoot)f = coefficient of dynamic friction
The tension developed in anyBend is calculated asT = T1 x efa lbf whereT1 = tension at bend entrance (lbf)e = base of natural logarithms
(271828)
f = coefficient of dynamic frictiona = angle of bend (radians)or efa is given in the following tablefor common conditionsBendAngle f=015 f=030 f=035 f=040
30deg 108 117 120 12345deg 113 127 132 13760deg 117 137 144 15290deg 127 160 173 188
Coefficients of dynamic frictionwith lubricant are given in thefollowing table for common ductand cable jacket materials Thesecoefficients can be used forcalculation of tensions
CoefficientDuct Type Cable Jacket of Friction
PVC PVC 050PE PVC 030
Fiber PVC 040Asbestos Cement PVC 070
Considerations must be given toSide Wall Bearing Pressure (SWBP) when pulling CORFLEXthrough a bend The SWBP iscalculated as follows
For CORFLEX Nexans AmerCablerecommends a maximum SWBPof 500 pounds forcefoot Duringinstallation of the CORFLEX cableit is recommended that the bendradii be as noted in thecable descriptions
Pulling in DuctIt is extremely important for thesuccess of any pull in duct to useapproved lubricants Lubricantsmust be compatible with the cablejacket and duct material
Lubricating the pulling rope willdecrease the tension on the pullingequipment and more importantlywill reduce the risk of damage tothe inside of the duct whichin turn can damage the cableWhen designing the duct layoutit is suggested that the bends beconcentrated near the end fromwhich the cable is to be pulledThis practice will result in lowertensions In some cases thetensions resulting from alternativedirections should be calculated
Pulling in Trays amp TrenchesFor the installation of CORFLEX intrays rollers are normally usedUsing well lubricated rollers andlong radius sheaves at bends willresult in a lower coefficient of
friction when compared to ductA coefficient of friction of 015 canbe used when calculating pullingtension using rollers For long pullswith bends it may be necessary to
install assist pullers before thebends to reduce the tension onthe cable entering a bend andreducing the risk of damagefrom excessive SWBP
The recommendations given aboveare intended to cover a wide varietyof pulling conditions It is possibleunder ideal conditions and withexperienced supervision to exceedthese limits
For further guidance see IEEEPaper 84 T amp D 365-3 orcontact Nexans AmerCable

CORFLEXreg Pulling InstructionsCertain installations require thepulling of CORFLEXreg into ducts ortrays These installations requirecareful planning and executionThe following provides informationon how to calculate tensions
developed during pulling andwhat precautions to take toprevent damage to the cable
Pulling TensionThe maximum tension applied to acable is limited to prevent damageor distortion of cable componentswhich could reduce the life orreliability of the cable The methodof pulling is significant in that
different methods will resultin different stresses on criticalcable components for the sameoverall tension Nexans AmerCablerecommends that CORFLEX MC-HLInstrumentation 600V cables arepulled by means of the aluminumsheath and jacket with a gripapplied over the jacketed coresheath and overall jacket All otherCORFLEX cable types described
in this catalog should be pulledby means of the conductorsaided with a grip over the outeraluminum sheath The conductors and the sheath must be pulled together Maximum allowablepulling tensions for CORFLEXcables should never exceed thevalues shown in pulling tensiontable
Calculating Pulling TensionsThe tension developed in anyStraight Section of duct iscalculated as
T = L x W x f lbf whereL = section length (feet)W = cable weight per unit length
(lbfoot)f = coefficient of dynamic friction
The tension developed in anyBend is calculated asT = T1 x efa lbf whereT1 = tension at bend entrance (lbf)e = base of natural logarithms
(271828)
f = coefficient of dynamic frictiona = angle of bend (radians)or efa is given in the following tablefor common conditionsBendAngle f=015 f=030 f=035 f=040
30deg 108 117 120 12345deg 113 127 132 13760deg 117 137 144 15290deg 127 160 173 188
Coefficients of dynamic frictionwith lubricant are given in thefollowing table for common ductand cable jacket materials Thesecoefficients can be used forcalculation of tensions
CoefficientDuct Type Cable Jacket of Friction
PVC PVC 050PE PVC 030
Fiber PVC 040Asbestos Cement PVC 070
Considerations must be given toSide Wall Bearing Pressure (SWBP) when pulling CORFLEXthrough a bend The SWBP iscalculated as follows
For CORFLEX Nexans AmerCablerecommends a maximum SWBPof 500 pounds forcefoot Duringinstallation of the CORFLEX cableit is recommended that the bendradii be as noted in thecable descriptions
Pulling in DuctIt is extremely important for thesuccess of any pull in duct to useapproved lubricants Lubricantsmust be compatible with the cablejacket and duct material
Lubricating the pulling rope willdecrease the tension on the pullingequipment and more importantlywill reduce the risk of damage tothe inside of the duct whichin turn can damage the cableWhen designing the duct layoutit is suggested that the bends beconcentrated near the end fromwhich the cable is to be pulledThis practice will result in lowertensions In some cases thetensions resulting from alternativedirections should be calculated
Pulling in Trays amp TrenchesFor the installation of CORFLEX intrays rollers are normally usedUsing well lubricated rollers andlong radius sheaves at bends willresult in a lower coefficient of
friction when compared to ductA coefficient of friction of 015 canbe used when calculating pullingtension using rollers For long pullswith bends it may be necessary to
install assist pullers before thebends to reduce the tension onthe cable entering a bend andreducing the risk of damagefrom excessive SWBP
The recommendations given aboveare intended to cover a wide varietyof pulling conditions It is possibleunder ideal conditions and withexperienced supervision to exceedthese limits
For further guidance see IEEEPaper 84 T amp D 365-3 orcontact Nexans AmerCable

CORFLEXreg Pulling InstructionsCertain installations require thepulling of CORFLEXreg into ducts ortrays These installations requirecareful planning and executionThe following provides informationon how to calculate tensions
developed during pulling andwhat precautions to take toprevent damage to the cable
Pulling TensionThe maximum tension applied to acable is limited to prevent damageor distortion of cable componentswhich could reduce the life orreliability of the cable The methodof pulling is significant in that
different methods will resultin different stresses on criticalcable components for the sameoverall tension Nexans AmerCablerecommends that CORFLEX MC-HLInstrumentation 600V cables arepulled by means of the aluminumsheath and jacket with a gripapplied over the jacketed coresheath and overall jacket All otherCORFLEX cable types described
in this catalog should be pulledby means of the conductorsaided with a grip over the outeraluminum sheath The conductors and the sheath must be pulled together Maximum allowablepulling tensions for CORFLEXcables should never exceed thevalues shown in pulling tensiontable
Calculating Pulling TensionsThe tension developed in anyStraight Section of duct iscalculated as
T = L x W x f lbf whereL = section length (feet)W = cable weight per unit length
(lbfoot)f = coefficient of dynamic friction
The tension developed in anyBend is calculated asT = T1 x efa lbf whereT1 = tension at bend entrance (lbf)e = base of natural logarithms
(271828)
f = coefficient of dynamic frictiona = angle of bend (radians)or efa is given in the following tablefor common conditionsBendAngle f=015 f=030 f=035 f=040

Coefficients of dynamic frictionwith lubricant are given in thefollowing table for common ductand cable jacket materials Thesecoefficients can be used forcalculation of tensions

PVC PVC 050PE PVC 030
Fiber PVC 040Asbestos Cement PVC 070
Considerations must be given toSide Wall Bearing Pressure (SWBP) when pulling CORFLEXthrough a bend The SWBP iscalculated as follows
For CORFLEX Nexans AmerCablerecommends a maximum SWBPof 500 pounds forcefoot Duringinstallation of the CORFLEX cableit is recommended that the bendradii be as noted in thecable descriptions
Pulling in DuctIt is extremely important for thesuccess of any pull in duct to useapproved lubricants Lubricantsmust be compatible with the cablejacket and duct material
Lubricating the pulling rope willdecrease the tension on the pullingequipment and more importantlywill reduce the risk of damage tothe inside of the duct whichin turn can damage the cableWhen designing the duct layoutit is suggested that the bends beconcentrated near the end fromwhich the cable is to be pulledThis practice will result in lowertensions In some cases thetensions resulting from alternativedirections should be calculated
Pulling in Trays amp TrenchesFor the installation of CORFLEX intrays rollers are normally usedUsing well lubricated rollers andlong radius sheaves at bends willresult in a lower coefficient of
friction when compared to ductA coefficient of friction of 015 canbe used when calculating pullingtension using rollers For long pullswith bends it may be necessary to
install assist pullers before thebends to reduce the tension onthe cable entering a bend andreducing the risk of damagefrom excessive SWBP
The recommendations given aboveare intended to cover a wide varietyof pulling conditions It is possibleunder ideal conditions and withexperienced supervision to exceedthese limits

CORFLEXreg Pulling InstructionsCertain installations require thepulling of CORFLEXreg into ducts ortrays These installations requirecareful planning and executionThe following provides informationon how to calculate tensions
developed during pulling andwhat precautions to take toprevent damage to the cable
Pulling TensionThe maximum tension applied to acable is limited to prevent damageor distortion of cable componentswhich could reduce the life orreliability of the cable The methodof pulling is significant in that
different methods will resultin different stresses on criticalcable components for the sameoverall tension Nexans AmerCablerecommends that CORFLEX MC-HLInstrumentation 600V cables arepulled by means of the aluminumsheath and jacket with a gripapplied over the jacketed coresheath and overall jacket All otherCORFLEX cable types described
in this catalog should be pulledby means of the conductorsaided with a grip over the outeraluminum sheath The conductors and the sheath must be pulled together Maximum allowablepulling tensions for CORFLEXcables should never exceed thevalues shown in pulling tensiontable
Calculating Pulling TensionsThe tension developed in anyStraight Section of duct iscalculated as
T = L x W x f lbf whereL = section length (feet)W = cable weight per unit length
(lbfoot)f = coefficient of dynamic friction
The tension developed in anyBend is calculated asT = T1 x efa lbf whereT1 = tension at bend entrance (lbf)e = base of natural logarithms
(271828)
f = coefficient of dynamic frictiona = angle of bend (radians)or efa is given in the following tablefor common conditionsBendAngle f=015 f=030 f=035 f=040
30deg 108 117 120 12345deg 113 127 132 13760deg 117 137 144 15290deg 127 160 173 188
Coefficients of dynamic frictionwith lubricant are given in thefollowing table for common ductand cable jacket materials Thesecoefficients can be used forcalculation of tensions
CoefficientDuct Type Cable Jacket of Friction
PVC PVC 050PE PVC 030
Fiber PVC 040Asbestos Cement PVC 070
Considerations must be given toSide Wall Bearing Pressure (SWBP) when pulling CORFLEXthrough a bend The SWBP iscalculated as follows
For CORFLEX Nexans AmerCablerecommends a maximum SWBPof 500 pounds forcefoot Duringinstallation of the CORFLEX cableit is recommended that the bendradii be as noted in thecable descriptions
Pulling in DuctIt is extremely important for thesuccess of any pull in duct to useapproved lubricants Lubricantsmust be compatible with the cablejacket and duct material
Lubricating the pulling rope willdecrease the tension on the pullingequipment and more importantlywill reduce the risk of damage tothe inside of the duct whichin turn can damage the cableWhen designing the duct layoutit is suggested that the bends beconcentrated near the end fromwhich the cable is to be pulledThis practice will result in lowertensions In some cases thetensions resulting from alternativedirections should be calculated
Pulling in Trays amp TrenchesFor the installation of CORFLEX intrays rollers are normally usedUsing well lubricated rollers andlong radius sheaves at bends willresult in a lower coefficient of
friction when compared to ductA coefficient of friction of 015 canbe used when calculating pullingtension using rollers For long pullswith bends it may be necessary to
install assist pullers before thebends to reduce the tension onthe cable entering a bend andreducing the risk of damagefrom excessive SWBP
The recommendations given aboveare intended to cover a wide varietyof pulling conditions It is possibleunder ideal conditions and withexperienced supervision to exceedthese limits
For further guidance see IEEEPaper 84 T amp D 365-3 orcontact Nexans AmerCable

CORFLEXreg Pulling InstructionsCertain installations require thepulling of CORFLEXreg into ducts ortrays These installations requirecareful planning and executionThe following provides informationon how to calculate tensions
developed during pulling andwhat precautions to take toprevent damage to the cable
Pulling TensionThe maximum tension applied to acable is limited to prevent damageor distortion of cable componentswhich could reduce the life orreliability of the cable The methodof pulling is significant in that
different methods will resultin different stresses on criticalcable components for the sameoverall tension Nexans AmerCablerecommends that CORFLEX MC-HLInstrumentation 600V cables arepulled by means of the aluminumsheath and jacket with a gripapplied over the jacketed coresheath and overall jacket All otherCORFLEX cable types described
in this catalog should be pulledby means of the conductorsaided with a grip over the outeraluminum sheath The conductors and the sheath must be pulled together Maximum allowablepulling tensions for CORFLEXcables should never exceed thevalues shown in pulling tensiontable
Calculating Pulling TensionsThe tension developed in anyStraight Section of duct iscalculated as
T = L x W x f lbf whereL = section length (feet)W = cable weight per unit length
(lbfoot)f = coefficient of dynamic friction
The tension developed in anyBend is calculated asT = T1 x efa lbf whereT1 = tension at bend entrance (lbf)e = base of natural logarithms
(271828)
f = coefficient of dynamic frictiona = angle of bend (radians)or efa is given in the following tablefor common conditionsBendAngle f=015 f=030 f=035 f=040
30deg 108 117 120 12345deg 113 127 132 13760deg 117 137 144 15290deg 127 160 173 188
Coefficients of dynamic frictionwith lubricant are given in thefollowing table for common ductand cable jacket materials Thesecoefficients can be used forcalculation of tensions
CoefficientDuct Type Cable Jacket of Friction
PVC PVC 050PE PVC 030
Fiber PVC 040Asbestos Cement PVC 070
Considerations must be given toSide Wall Bearing Pressure (SWBP) when pulling CORFLEXthrough a bend The SWBP iscalculated as follows
For CORFLEX Nexans AmerCablerecommends a maximum SWBPof 500 pounds forcefoot Duringinstallation of the CORFLEX cableit is recommended that the bendradii be as noted in thecable descriptions
Pulling in DuctIt is extremely important for thesuccess of any pull in duct to useapproved lubricants Lubricantsmust be compatible with the cablejacket and duct material
Lubricating the pulling rope willdecrease the tension on the pullingequipment and more importantlywill reduce the risk of damage tothe inside of the duct whichin turn can damage the cableWhen designing the duct layoutit is suggested that the bends beconcentrated near the end fromwhich the cable is to be pulledThis practice will result in lowertensions In some cases thetensions resulting from alternativedirections should be calculated
Pulling in Trays amp TrenchesFor the installation of CORFLEX intrays rollers are normally usedUsing well lubricated rollers andlong radius sheaves at bends willresult in a lower coefficient of
friction when compared to ductA coefficient of friction of 015 canbe used when calculating pullingtension using rollers For long pullswith bends it may be necessary to
install assist pullers before thebends to reduce the tension onthe cable entering a bend andreducing the risk of damagefrom excessive SWBP
The recommendations given aboveare intended to cover a wide varietyof pulling conditions It is possibleunder ideal conditions and withexperienced supervision to exceedthese limits
For further guidance see IEEEPaper 84 T amp D 365-3 orcontact Nexans AmerCable

CORFLEXreg Pulling InstructionsCertain installations require thepulling of CORFLEXreg into ducts ortrays These installations requirecareful planning and executionThe following provides informationon how to calculate tensions
developed during pulling andwhat precautions to take toprevent damage to the cable
Pulling TensionThe maximum tension applied to acable is limited to prevent damageor distortion of cable componentswhich could reduce the life orreliability of the cable The methodof pulling is significant in that
different methods will resultin different stresses on criticalcable components for the sameoverall tension Nexans AmerCablerecommends that CORFLEX MC-HLInstrumentation 600V cables arepulled by means of the aluminumsheath and jacket with a gripapplied over the jacketed coresheath and overall jacket All otherCORFLEX cable types described
in this catalog should be pulledby means of the conductorsaided with a grip over the outeraluminum sheath The conductors and the sheath must be pulled together Maximum allowablepulling tensions for CORFLEXcables should never exceed thevalues shown in pulling tensiontable
Calculating Pulling TensionsThe tension developed in anyStraight Section of duct iscalculated as
T = L x W x f lbf whereL = section length (feet)W = cable weight per unit length
(lbfoot)f = coefficient of dynamic friction
The tension developed in anyBend is calculated asT = T1 x efa lbf whereT1 = tension at bend entrance (lbf)e = base of natural logarithms
(271828)
f = coefficient of dynamic frictiona = angle of bend (radians)or efa is given in the following tablefor common conditionsBendAngle f=015 f=030 f=035 f=040
30deg 108 117 120 12345deg 113 127 132 13760deg 117 137 144 15290deg 127 160 173 188
Coefficients of dynamic frictionwith lubricant are given in thefollowing table for common ductand cable jacket materials Thesecoefficients can be used forcalculation of tensions
CoefficientDuct Type Cable Jacket of Friction
PVC PVC 050PE PVC 030
Fiber PVC 040Asbestos Cement PVC 070
Considerations must be given toSide Wall Bearing Pressure (SWBP) when pulling CORFLEXthrough a bend The SWBP iscalculated as follows
For CORFLEX Nexans AmerCablerecommends a maximum SWBPof 500 pounds forcefoot Duringinstallation of the CORFLEX cableit is recommended that the bendradii be as noted in thecable descriptions
Pulling in DuctIt is extremely important for thesuccess of any pull in duct to useapproved lubricants Lubricantsmust be compatible with the cablejacket and duct material
Lubricating the pulling rope willdecrease the tension on the pullingequipment and more importantlywill reduce the risk of damage tothe inside of the duct whichin turn can damage the cableWhen designing the duct layoutit is suggested that the bends beconcentrated near the end fromwhich the cable is to be pulledThis practice will result in lowertensions In some cases thetensions resulting from alternativedirections should be calculated
Pulling in Trays amp TrenchesFor the installation of CORFLEX intrays rollers are normally usedUsing well lubricated rollers andlong radius sheaves at bends willresult in a lower coefficient of
friction when compared to ductA coefficient of friction of 015 canbe used when calculating pullingtension using rollers For long pullswith bends it may be necessary to
install assist pullers before thebends to reduce the tension onthe cable entering a bend andreducing the risk of damagefrom excessive SWBP
The recommendations given aboveare intended to cover a wide varietyof pulling conditions It is possibleunder ideal conditions and withexperienced supervision to exceedthese limits
For further guidance see IEEEPaper 84 T amp D 365-3 orcontact Nexans AmerCable

CORFLEXreg Pulling InstructionsCertain installations require thepulling of CORFLEXreg into ducts ortrays These installations requirecareful planning and executionThe following provides informationon how to calculate tensions
developed during pulling andwhat precautions to take toprevent damage to the cable
Pulling TensionThe maximum tension applied to acable is limited to prevent damageor distortion of cable componentswhich could reduce the life orreliability of the cable The methodof pulling is significant in that
different methods will resultin different stresses on criticalcable components for the sameoverall tension Nexans AmerCablerecommends that CORFLEX MC-HLInstrumentation 600V cables arepulled by means of the aluminumsheath and jacket with a gripapplied over the jacketed coresheath and overall jacket All otherCORFLEX cable types described
in this catalog should be pulledby means of the conductorsaided with a grip over the outeraluminum sheath The conductors and the sheath must be pulled together Maximum allowablepulling tensions for CORFLEXcables should never exceed thevalues shown in pulling tensiontable
Calculating Pulling TensionsThe tension developed in anyStraight Section of duct iscalculated as
T = L x W x f lbf whereL = section length (feet)W = cable weight per unit length
(lbfoot)f = coefficient of dynamic friction
The tension developed in anyBend is calculated asT = T1 x efa lbf whereT1 = tension at bend entrance (lbf)e = base of natural logarithms
(271828)
f = coefficient of dynamic frictiona = angle of bend (radians)or efa is given in the following tablefor common conditionsBendAngle f=015 f=030 f=035 f=040

Coefficients of dynamic frictionwith lubricant are given in thefollowing table for common ductand cable jacket materials Thesecoefficients can be used forcalculation of tensions
CoefficientDuct Type Cable Jacket of Friction
PVC PVC 050PE PVC 030
Fiber PVC 040Asbestos Cement PVC 070
Considerations must be given toSide Wall Bearing Pressure (SWBP) when pulling CORFLEXthrough a bend The SWBP iscalculated as follows
For CORFLEX Nexans AmerCablerecommends a maximum SWBPof 500 pounds forcefoot Duringinstallation of the CORFLEX cableit is recommended that the bendradii be as noted in thecable descriptions
Pulling in DuctIt is extremely important for thesuccess of any pull in duct to useapproved lubricants Lubricantsmust be compatible with the cablejacket and duct material
Lubricating the pulling rope willdecrease the tension on the pullingequipment and more importantlywill reduce the risk of damage tothe inside of the duct whichin turn can damage the cableWhen designing the duct layoutit is suggested that the bends beconcentrated near the end fromwhich the cable is to be pulledThis practice will result in lowertensions In some cases thetensions resulting from alternativedirections should be calculated
Pulling in Trays amp TrenchesFor the installation of CORFLEX intrays rollers are normally usedUsing well lubricated rollers andlong radius sheaves at bends willresult in a lower coefficient of
friction when compared to ductA coefficient of friction of 015 canbe used when calculating pullingtension using rollers For long pullswith bends it may be necessary to
install assist pullers before thebends to reduce the tension onthe cable entering a bend andreducing the risk of damagefrom excessive SWBP
The recommendations given aboveare intended to cover a wide varietyof pulling conditions It is possibleunder ideal conditions and withexperienced supervision to exceedthese limits
For further guidance see IEEEPaper 84 T amp D 365-3 orcontact Nexans AmerCable

CORFLEXreg Pulling InstructionsCertain installations require thepulling of CORFLEXreg into ducts ortrays These installations requirecareful planning and executionThe following provides informationon how to calculate tensions
developed during pulling andwhat precautions to take toprevent damage to the cable
Pulling TensionThe maximum tension applied to acable is limited to prevent damageor distortion of cable componentswhich could reduce the life orreliability of the cable The methodof pulling is significant in that
different methods will resultin different stresses on criticalcable components for the sameoverall tension Nexans AmerCablerecommends that CORFLEX MC-HLInstrumentation 600V cables arepulled by means of the aluminumsheath and jacket with a gripapplied over the jacketed coresheath and overall jacket All otherCORFLEX cable types described
in this catalog should be pulledby means of the conductorsaided with a grip over the outeraluminum sheath The conductors and the sheath must be pulled together Maximum allowablepulling tensions for CORFLEXcables should never exceed thevalues shown in pulling tensiontable
Calculating Pulling TensionsThe tension developed in anyStraight Section of duct iscalculated as
T = L x W x f lbf whereL = section length (feet)W = cable weight per unit length
(lbfoot)f = coefficient of dynamic friction
The tension developed in anyBend is calculated asT = T1 x efa lbf whereT1 = tension at bend entrance (lbf)e = base of natural logarithms
(271828)
f = coefficient of dynamic frictiona = angle of bend (radians)or efa is given in the following tablefor common conditionsBendAngle f=015 f=030 f=035 f=040

For CORFLEX Nexans AmerCablerecommends a maximum SWBPof 500 pounds forcefoot Duringinstallation of the CORFLEX cableit is recommended that the bendradii be as noted in thecable descriptions
Pulling in DuctIt is extremely important for thesuccess of any pull in duct to useapproved lubricants Lubricantsmust be compatible with the cablejacket and duct material
Lubricating the pulling rope willdecrease the tension on the pullingequipment and more importantlywill reduce the risk of damage tothe inside of the duct whichin turn can damage the cableWhen designing the duct layoutit is suggested that the bends beconcentrated near the end fromwhich the cable is to be pulledThis practice will result in lowertensions In some cases thetensions resulting from alternativedirections should be calculated
Pulling in Trays amp TrenchesFor the installation of CORFLEX intrays rollers are normally usedUsing well lubricated rollers andlong radius sheaves at bends willresult in a lower coefficient of
friction when compared to ductA coefficient of friction of 015 canbe used when calculating pullingtension using rollers For long pullswith bends it may be necessary to
install assist pullers before thebends to reduce the tension onthe cable entering a bend andreducing the risk of damagefrom excessive SWBP
The recommendations given aboveare intended to cover a wide varietyof pulling conditions It is possibleunder ideal conditions and withexperienced supervision to exceedthese limits

CORFLEXreg Pulling InstructionsCertain installations require thepulling of CORFLEXreg into ducts ortrays These installations requirecareful planning and executionThe following provides informationon how to calculate tensions
developed during pulling andwhat precautions to take toprevent damage to the cable
Pulling TensionThe maximum tension applied to acable is limited to prevent damageor distortion of cable componentswhich could reduce the life orreliability of the cable The methodof pulling is significant in that
different methods will resultin different stresses on criticalcable components for the sameoverall tension Nexans AmerCablerecommends that CORFLEX MC-HLInstrumentation 600V cables arepulled by means of the aluminumsheath and jacket with a gripapplied over the jacketed coresheath and overall jacket All otherCORFLEX cable types described
in this catalog should be pulledby means of the conductorsaided with a grip over the outeraluminum sheath The conductors and the sheath must be pulled together Maximum allowablepulling tensions for CORFLEXcables should never exceed thevalues shown in pulling tensiontable
Calculating Pulling TensionsThe tension developed in anyStraight Section of duct iscalculated as
T = L x W x f lbf whereL = section length (feet)W = cable weight per unit length
(lbfoot)f = coefficient of dynamic friction
The tension developed in anyBend is calculated asT = T1 x efa lbf whereT1 = tension at bend entrance (lbf)e = base of natural logarithms
(271828)
f = coefficient of dynamic frictiona = angle of bend (radians)or efa is given in the following tablefor common conditionsBendAngle f=015 f=030 f=035 f=040

Coefficients of dynamic frictionwith lubricant are given in thefollowing table for common ductand cable jacket materials Thesecoefficients can be used forcalculation of tensions
CoefficientDuct Type Cable Jacket of Friction
PVC PVC 050PE PVC 030
Fiber PVC 040Asbestos Cement PVC 070
Considerations must be given toSide Wall Bearing Pressure (SWBP) when pulling CORFLEXthrough a bend The SWBP iscalculated as follows
For CORFLEX Nexans AmerCablerecommends a maximum SWBPof 500 pounds forcefoot Duringinstallation of the CORFLEX cableit is recommended that the bendradii be as noted in thecable descriptions
Pulling in DuctIt is extremely important for thesuccess of any pull in duct to useapproved lubricants Lubricantsmust be compatible with the cablejacket and duct material
Lubricating the pulling rope willdecrease the tension on the pullingequipment and more importantlywill reduce the risk of damage tothe inside of the duct whichin turn can damage the cableWhen designing the duct layoutit is suggested that the bends beconcentrated near the end fromwhich the cable is to be pulledThis practice will result in lowertensions In some cases thetensions resulting from alternativedirections should be calculated
Pulling in Trays amp TrenchesFor the installation of CORFLEX intrays rollers are normally usedUsing well lubricated rollers andlong radius sheaves at bends willresult in a lower coefficient of
friction when compared to ductA coefficient of friction of 015 canbe used when calculating pullingtension using rollers For long pullswith bends it may be necessary to
install assist pullers before thebends to reduce the tension onthe cable entering a bend andreducing the risk of damagefrom excessive SWBP
The recommendations given aboveare intended to cover a wide varietyof pulling conditions It is possibleunder ideal conditions and withexperienced supervision to exceedthese limits
For further guidance see IEEEPaper 84 T amp D 365-3 orcontact Nexans AmerCable

CORFLEXreg Pulling InstructionsCertain installations require thepulling of CORFLEXreg into ducts ortrays These installations requirecareful planning and executionThe following provides informationon how to calculate tensions
developed during pulling andwhat precautions to take toprevent damage to the cable
Pulling TensionThe maximum tension applied to acable is limited to prevent damageor distortion of cable componentswhich could reduce the life orreliability of the cable The methodof pulling is significant in that
different methods will resultin different stresses on criticalcable components for the sameoverall tension Nexans AmerCablerecommends that CORFLEX MC-HLInstrumentation 600V cables arepulled by means of the aluminumsheath and jacket with a gripapplied over the jacketed coresheath and overall jacket All otherCORFLEX cable types described
in this catalog should be pulledby means of the conductorsaided with a grip over the outeraluminum sheath The conductors and the sheath must be pulled together Maximum allowablepulling tensions for CORFLEXcables should never exceed thevalues shown in pulling tensiontable
Calculating Pulling TensionsThe tension developed in anyStraight Section of duct iscalculated as
T = L x W x f lbf whereL = section length (feet)W = cable weight per unit length
(lbfoot)f = coefficient of dynamic friction
The tension developed in anyBend is calculated asT = T1 x efa lbf whereT1 = tension at bend entrance (lbf)e = base of natural logarithms
(271828)
f = coefficient of dynamic frictiona = angle of bend (radians)or efa is given in the following tablefor common conditionsBendAngle f=015 f=030 f=035 f=040

Coefficients of dynamic frictionwith lubricant are given in thefollowing table for common ductand cable jacket materials Thesecoefficients can be used forcalculation of tensions
CoefficientDuct Type Cable Jacket of Friction
PVC PVC 050PE PVC 030
Fiber PVC 040Asbestos Cement PVC 070
Considerations must be given toSide Wall Bearing Pressure (SWBP) when pulling CORFLEXthrough a bend The SWBP iscalculated as follows
For CORFLEX Nexans AmerCablerecommends a maximum SWBPof 500 pounds forcefoot Duringinstallation of the CORFLEX cableit is recommended that the bendradii be as noted in thecable descriptions
Pulling in DuctIt is extremely important for thesuccess of any pull in duct to useapproved lubricants Lubricantsmust be compatible with the cablejacket and duct material
Lubricating the pulling rope willdecrease the tension on the pullingequipment and more importantlywill reduce the risk of damage tothe inside of the duct whichin turn can damage the cableWhen designing the duct layoutit is suggested that the bends beconcentrated near the end fromwhich the cable is to be pulledThis practice will result in lowertensions In some cases thetensions resulting from alternativedirections should be calculated
Pulling in Trays amp TrenchesFor the installation of CORFLEX intrays rollers are normally usedUsing well lubricated rollers andlong radius sheaves at bends willresult in a lower coefficient of
friction when compared to ductA coefficient of friction of 015 canbe used when calculating pullingtension using rollers For long pullswith bends it may be necessary to
install assist pullers before thebends to reduce the tension onthe cable entering a bend andreducing the risk of damagefrom excessive SWBP
The recommendations given aboveare intended to cover a wide varietyof pulling conditions It is possibleunder ideal conditions and withexperienced supervision to exceedthese limits
For further guidance see IEEEPaper 84 T amp D 365-3 orcontact Nexans AmerCable

Pulling in DuctIt is extremely important for thesuccess of any pull in duct to useapproved lubricants Lubricantsmust be compatible with the cablejacket and duct material
Lubricating the pulling rope willdecrease the tension on the pullingequipment and more importantlywill reduce the risk of damage tothe inside of the duct whichin turn can damage the cableWhen designing the duct layoutit is suggested that the bends beconcentrated near the end fromwhich the cable is to be pulledThis practice will result in lowertensions In some cases thetensions resulting from alternativedirections should be calculated
Pulling in Trays amp TrenchesFor the installation of CORFLEX intrays rollers are normally usedUsing well lubricated rollers andlong radius sheaves at bends willresult in a lower coefficient of
friction when compared to ductA coefficient of friction of 015 canbe used when calculating pullingtension using rollers For long pullswith bends it may be necessary to
install assist pullers before thebends to reduce the tension onthe cable entering a bend andreducing the risk of damagefrom excessive SWBP
The recommendations given aboveare intended to cover a wide varietyof pulling conditions It is possibleunder ideal conditions and withexperienced supervision to exceedthese limits

developed during pulling andwhat precautions to take toprevent damage to the cable

different methods will resultin different stresses on criticalcable components for the sameoverall tension Nexans AmerCablerecommends that CORFLEX MC-HLInstrumentation 600V cables arepulled by means of the aluminumsheath and jacket with a gripapplied over the jacketed coresheath and overall jacket All otherCORFLEX cable types described
in this catalog should be pulledby means of the conductorsaided with a grip over the outeraluminum sheath The conductors and the sheath must be pulled together Maximum allowablepulling tensions for CORFLEXcables should never exceed thevalues shown in pulling tensiontable
Calculating Pulling TensionsThe tension developed in anyStraight Section of duct iscalculated as
T = L x W x f lbf whereL = section length (feet)W = cable weight per unit length
