Direction of Usages
Lubricant needed to install cable: Any attempt to quantify exactly the amount of lubricant that is needed on an individual installation will fall short of being accurate. In general, experience has revealed that some valid assumptions can be made. Formulas are presented below that have been found to be acceptable for most installations. However, there are field conditions which may require more lubricant than the formulas provide. Knowledge of specific local conditions and experience has proven to be the best judge in these cases.
Metric Formula for cable application
1. For plastic conduit (PVC, ABS, Polyethylene) use the following:
Q= 0.0080 x L x D
2. For multiple concrete, clay tile, fiber cement,fiber filled, and wood conduit use the following:
Q= 0.0120 x L x D
Q = Amount of Techlube FO and
WFO needed in liters.
L = The total length of the
pull in meters.
D = The inside diameter of the
individual conduit in
centimeters
