Astonishing Curing Calculation for Flexible Factory Joints

Jan 29, 2020 12:00:00 AM

Astonishing Curing Calculation for Flexible Factory Joints

Flexible vulcanized joints (FVJ) also known as flexible factory joints are typically used in extending delivery lengths of extruded subsea cables. Lengths of XLPE insulated cable core are often limited by the capacity of extrusion, degassing or basket lay-up. Factory joints overcome these constraints.

Cable Check Enhances QC and HVAC & HVDC Cable Failure Analysis

Oct 9, 2019 12:00:00 AM

Maillefer has recently acquired a Cable Checker unit for our new R&D lab. The unit is essentially a microscope connected to a hot oil bath for high resolution analysis of all parts of the cable. This equipment is particularly suited for inspection of extruded XLPE (cross-linkable polyethylene) insulated Medium, High and/or Extra-High Voltage cable samples. Both trouble shooting and quality control inspection are done with very high accuracy.
