  • Abstract
    Lubricant application rates are determined for typical, heavy cable pulling. The parameters affecting lubricant flow rate through pumps are examined theoretically and experimentally. Lubricant viscosity, pump pressure, feed hose size and feed hose length are studied. These data are used to develop guidelines for cable installers interested in pursuing automatic lubricant application
