This specification applies to high-pressure pipe-type impregnated paper-insulated and laminated paper polypropylene insulated cables for use in the transmission of electrical energy. It describes the various choices that an engineer must consider when specifying paper-insulated cables designed for operation under either liquid or gas pressure for utility use. In addition, both types of cables are intended for operation at a nominal pressure of 200 psig (1400 kPa).
The purpose of this specification is to insure the furnishing of high quality cable and as a supplement, address some of the basic quality requirements for the pipe and pipe coating materials. Guide for the installation of pipes are addressed in AEIC GC3.
Engineering units reflect the Imperial System. The Metric System equivalents when included are for information only.
