Raw Material Test
The Raw Material Test for the 4 Artemia Aluminum Conductor Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable begins with a meticulous procurement and inspection process to ensure only premium components are used. Sourcing Verification – Suppliers provide certificates of analysis for aluminum alloy ingots, confirming they meet AA-8000 series standards for conductivity and tensile strength. Samples are cross-checked against ASTM B800 specifications. Chemical Composition Analysis – Using spectrometry, we test the aluminum for purity, ensuring elements like silicon, iron, and magnesium are within 0.05-0.5% limits to prevent brittleness. Any deviation triggers rejection. Mechanical Property Testing – Tensile tests on wire samples measure elongation (minimum 10%) and ultimate strength (up to 15,000 psi) per ASTM B231. Hardness is evaluated via the Rockwell method to confirm ductility.
Process inspection
Process Inspection for the 4 Artemia Aluminum Conductor Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable involves real-time monitoring across manufacturing stages to maintain consistency and quality. Step 1: Stranding Setup – Operators verify machine calibration for twisting three aluminum conductors around the neutral messenger, checking torque and alignment to prevent uneven bundling.Step 2: Extrusion Monitoring – During insulation application, temperature (180-220°C) and pressure are logged via sensors. Visual inspections every 100 meters detect bubbles or voids in the XLPE layer. Step 3: Curing and Cooling – Post-extrusion, cables pass through water baths; thermometers ensure cooling rates avoid cracking. Hardness tests confirm proper cross-linking.
Finished Product
Finished Product Testing for the 4 Artemia Aluminum Conductor Triplex Overhead Service Drop Cable culminates in comprehensive evaluations to certify readiness for deployment. Step 1: Visual and Dimensional Inspection – Full-length scans check for surface defects, with measurements confirming overall dimensions and insulation uniformity. Step 2: Mechanical Strength Tests – Pull tests simulate installation stresses, verifying that breaking strength exceeds 1,800 lbs per ASTM B232. Step 3: Electrical Performance – High-voltage withstand tests at 2.5kV for 5 minutes ensure no breakdowns, followed by insulation resistance checks (>1,000 megohms/1000ft). Step 4: Environmental Simulation – Cables endure accelerated aging in UV chambers for 720 hours and thermal cycling from -40°C to 90°C to assess durability.
