Cable in Duct Installation: Lubrication Makes the Difference

摘要

Not only jetting technology has contributed to enhanced cable-induct installation performance, also development of new lubricants (optimized for jetting) has played a major role, leading to lengths up to 3.7 km for a single blow. Quality of lubricant and the right way of application are key factors. In this paper it is described how and how not to apply lubricants in (micro)ducts. Also a family of cable lubricators is presented. Some examples are given of how these ways of lubrication benefit jetting installation.
