Best take a few spares in case they blunt quickly. You can take them back later.
This one is similar and you may be able to grind some of the carriage off to make it cut 3mm.
What losses can you manage with if you can't cleave it properly?
Pipe ring cutter.
Is the missing link.
I have ordered 3 of the cheap ebay ones, and a more exspensive one, I have cutting paste, I normally use for threading Galv Conduit. Some mini files, and 10 stanley blades!
0.7db is the maximum loss for a fibre connector. Any cleave of the fibre core over 3.5 degrees will not work. The Fibre cleaver if given the room to work normally cleaves +-0.5 degrees.
I can't take photos of the Job. No cameras allowed outside Accommodation Module. The only photos would be of the TV Room...
I will post how I get on. Think it September I am heading out for this job. I am currently working in Rotterdam on a new Well Intervention vessel. I have photos of that Job!
Hmmm. I could do something creative in my garden with those pieces of hardwood timber in Pic #2 !.
I seen them, there is about 5 pallets of them, they only use them to separate the drill pipe stacks, so they can get a sling around each length.
I have now completed this job. There was a bit of spare cable to practice on before I had to strip back to final length, once on site.
The method that worked best, was to score the stainless steel tube with a Stanley blade, then snap it off. I then was able to insert 50mm of PVC tube, that i rubbed down with sandpaper so that it fitted inside the stainless steel tube to protect the fibre cores from any rough edges on the tube. Then it was a matter of fitting the connectors, splicing and testing.
All in all the job took 4 hours. The travel was 12 hours, followed by 2 hours of inductions, 3 hours to get permits, and 3 days in total. Client is happy, which is all that matters to me.
Sounds like the reason why we are not very competitive then. I'd have thought those that want a job done should supply the tools in such specialist cases. Brian
Wherever possible, everything is farmed out to contractors these days.
That's a good result, well done! Did you make a tool to hold the blades for the scoring, or did you manage to do it "freehand"? I guess it must have been fairly thin walled tube.
