We needed a better cable in critical areas of our control system so TPC showed us their Super-Trex® and Trex-Onics® products but TPC challenged us to try anything to cause a failure. We decided to try the most abusive thing we could think of — run the cable over with a 60,000 lb track rig. When the initial test didn’t cause a failure, we performed a 0 degree turn, pivoting directly on the cable. The only damage to the cable was the abraded outer casing. Since this experiment 3 years ago, we have been using Super-Trex® and Trex-Onics® for our mission-critical cable assemblies, without a failure.

Case Study: Magnetic Testing Machine in Oil & Gas Application

CUSTOMER PROBLEM:

The ordinary cable jacket would fail due to exposure to the isopar chemical solution used in the Magnaflux testing process. The customer would need to replace the cable approximately every 3 months.

TPC SOLUTION:

The customer replaced 15' of cable in 6 different units.

CUSTOMER’S RESULT:

To date, this cable replacement has been working for 10 months straight without repair or failure. The customer has saved over $2,000 in material costs, $6,160 in labor costs and over 136 hours of production in 10 months.
