Flame RetardantAll CORFLEX cables pass

UL 1685 and IEEE 383vertical tray fire tests at

70,000 BTU/hr, IEC60332-3 category A fire test, IEEE 1202

and CSA FT4.

CORFLEX rated less than5 kV also passes ICEAT-29-520 fire test at

210,000 BTU/hr.

ArmorContinuous corrugatedand welded, impervious

aluminum sheathwith no more than0.2% trace copperprovides completeprotection against

liquid and gas ingress.

The Original MC-HL TechnologyIn 1958 Canada Wire and Cable, which is nowpart of Nexans, developed the first continuouscorrugated and welded cable sheath. Thisproduct proved to be ideal for the oil and gasindustry where liquid and gas ingress inhazardous operating conditions is a huge safetyissue. The CORFLEX® trade mark was registeredin 1960, and more than 50 years later continuesto be recognized as a symbol of excellence forcontinuously corrugated cable in the MC-HL and MV-105 or MC-HL markets.

Nexans CORFLEX® cables are designed for reliable performance in a varietyof industrial, commercial and utility applications including oil and gasapplications requiring an externally armored cable. Exceptional fire ratings,impact resistance, flexibility and an impervious metallic sheath are keyfeatures 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 inplenums (with no outer coverings), ducts and other airways per NEC 2008and NEC 2011 Article 300.22.

Nexans CORFLEX MC-HL and MV-105 or MC-HL cables can be installedin hazardous locations designated Class I, II & III, Divisions 1 & 2as per NEC 2008 and NEC 2011 (HL Rated).

CORFLEX MC-HL cables are designed for use on power and controlcircuits with 600 volt rating. Cables are suitable for use as feedersand branch circuits for power, control, lighting and signaling as perNEC 2008 and NEC 2011 Articles 330, 725 & 727.

CORFLEX MV-105 or MC-HL cables in this catalog are designed foruse on power circuits. Cables are suitable for use as per NEC 2008and NEC 2011 Article 328 as feeders and branch circuits.

CORFLEX cables are UL Listed as Marine Shipboard Cable (File E86139) 600V/1000V.

CORFLEX® Pulling InstructionsCertain installations require thepulling of CORFLEX® into ducts ortrays. These installations requirecareful planning and execution. The following provides informationon how to calculate tensionsdeveloped during pulling andwhat precautions to take to prevent 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 thatdifferent 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 core,sheath and overall jacket. All otherCORFLEX cable types described in this catalog should be pulled by means of the conductors, aided with a grip over the outeraluminum sheath. The conductorsand the sheath must be pulledtogether. 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

(lb/foot)f = coefficient of dynamic friction

The tension developed in any Bend is calculated as:T = T1 x efa lbf whereT1 = tension at bend entrance (lbf)e = base of natural logarithms

(2.71828)f = coefficient of dynamic frictiona = angle of bend (radians)or efa is given in the following tablefor common conditions:BendAngle f=0.15 f=0.30 f=0.35 f=0.40

30° 1.08 1.17 1.20 1.2345° 1.13 1.27 1.32 1.3760° 1.17 1.37 1.44 1.5290° 1.27 1.60 1.73 1.88

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 0.50PE PVC 0.30

Fiber PVC 0.40Asbestos Cement PVC 0.70

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 force/foot. Duringinstallation of the CORFLEX cable,it 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 cable.When designing the duct layout, it is suggested that the bends beconcentrated near the end fromwhich the cable is to be pulled.This practice will result in lowertensions. In some cases, thetensions resulting from alternativedirections should be calculated.

Pulling in Trays & TrenchesFor the installation of CORFLEX intrays, rollers are normally used.Using well lubricated rollers andlong radius sheaves at bends willresult in a lower coefficient offriction when compared to duct. A coefficient of friction of 0.15 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 possible,under ideal conditions, and withexperienced supervision, to exceedthese limits.For further guidance, see IEEEPaper 84 T & D 365-3, orcontact Nexans AmerCable.
