Abstract :
Cable pulling friction coefficients are determined using a specially designed, multiple conduit bend apparatus. The theory of the multi-bend method is described. Measurements covering variations in lubrication, cable jacket, cable/conduit size ratio (fill), number of cables, and sidewall pressure are presented. An effective coefficient of friction is determined for cable pulled on top of in-place cable. The data should provide a better understanding of the variables which produce cable pulling tension. Better estimates of tension may also be made possible
