SIMULATION OF CABLE PRESSURIZATION. WING I MINUTEMAN
Abstract
This report presents pneumatic data for the Wing I pressurized cable network. The principal conclusions can be summarized as follows: (1) For the steady state pneumatic condition an adequate protection pressure level can be obtained in the buried cable network by installing compressors at the LCF's and only selected LF's. This is based on a leakage rate of 0.5 cubic feet per day per mile and compressor inputs of 10 psig. The leakage in the cable should be held to less than 0.5 cubic feet per day per mile and as close to 0.1 cubic feet per mile as possible, for adequate cable protection and optimum maintenance. The cable pressure simulators employed in this study have proven their usefulness in establishing the cable pressure network design parameters for Wing I, as well as their utility for cable installation quality control.
