1、Designation:D348522An American National StandardStandard Specification forCoilable High Density Polyethylene(HDPE)Cable in Conduit(CIC)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D3485;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of
2、revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers cable in conduit(CIC),whichis a smooth-walled,coilable,high-density polyeth
3、ylene(HDPE)conduit(duct)that contains preassembled wires andcables.The outside diameter of the conduit is controlled andthe wire or cable encased within may be comprised of single ormultiple configurations consisting of electrical/power wires orcables,fiber optic,traditional copper communication,coa
4、xialcable,or any combination thereof.CIC configurations arepreassembled into the conduit during the extrusion process andin industry-specific designs for use in commercial,industrial,transportation,government,and utility applications1.2 This specification does not attempt to identify everypossible p
5、reassembled conduit/cable configuration but is in-tended to identify material and minimum assembled productproperties for optimizing reliability and service life.1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI
6、units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.NOTE1UL 1990 and CSA C22.2 No.327 have a similar scope toD3485;however,there are differences in scope and requirements.NOTE2End users may elect to field install single or multiple wire orcable configurations into field-insta
