6 Chola Aluminum Conductor Quadruplex Overhead Service Drop Cable
Raw Material Test
Raw material testing for the 6 Chola Quadruplex Service Drop Cable starts with aluminum certification for electrical grade and mechanical specifications. Conductor wires face resistivity, elongation, and bend tests. Insulation/sheath compounds undergo viscosity, thermal stability, and migration analysis. Carbon black is quantified for UV protection. The structured process: receipt documentation review, random sampling, physical/mechanical testing (tensile, elongation), chemical verification using spectroscopy, accelerated aging/UV trials, and material release decision. This ensures defect-free inputs, providing the base for the 6 Chola Quadruplex Service Drop Cable's conductivity, insulation quality, messenger strength, and environmental resistance in overhead quadruplex applications.
Process inspection
Process inspection during 6 Chola Quadruplex Service Drop Cable production involves multi-point quality assurance. Aluminum conductor forming monitors strand uniformity and surface smoothness. Insulation extrusion ensures adhesion with thickness gauges. Quadruplex assembly stages check twisting positioning, phase symmetry, and messenger tension. Online spark testing and eccentricity measurement are performed. Critical steps: pre-extrusion compound verification, parameter stabilization, real-time dimension scanning, sampling for uniformity, and defect removal protocols. This multi-stage control maintains the 6 Chola Quadruplex Service Drop Cable's structural precision, reliable insulation, strong messenger bonding, and ASTM/ICEA compliance throughout manufacturing.
Finished Product
Completed 6 Chola Quadruplex Service Drop Cable reels face rigorous tests. Key routines: DC resistance, high-potential AC test, thickness checks, messenger continuity, and breaking load. Mechanical endurance via impact, crushing, and pulling tests. Flame propagation and heat shock evaluations follow. The sequential process: conditioning, load/voltage application, timed exposure monitoring, recovery inspection, property re-measurement, and documentation. Additional checks cover ovality and weight. Passing all confirms the 6 Chola Quadruplex Service Drop Cable's mechanical strength, electrical reliability, moisture protection, and suitability for overhead quadruplex service drops in demanding conditions.
