We inspect CCS tracer wire from the bare conductor through insulation, finished marking and reel length, and document the results for each production batch.
AITE Cable manufactures solid copper-clad steel (CCS) tracer wire for underground utility locating. These photos show the checks and equipment used during production.
We measure conductor diameter against the required AWG and construction.
We perform torsion checks and examine the copper layer and seam, referring to applicable ASTM B910/B910M provisions.
We measure the resistance of a conductor sample and record the result.
We test conductor break load against the requirement for the specified wire grade and size.
We use an optical measuring instrument to inspect the insulated cross-section.
We check the finished wire OD with a micrometer.
We check surface appearance and verify printed product identification.
A production length counter monitors wire length during winding.
Inspection records include the required specifications, measured values and inspection results for the batch.
Share your wire specification or drawing and approximate order quantity. We can review the relevant inspection requirements with you.
