About This Item
P1142/D1.2, July 2009 is a draft guide for selecting, testing, applying, and installing cables with radial moisture barriers and/or longitudinal water blocking. It addresses cable performance in environments where moisture control is important, helping engineers and purchasers evaluate construction features, handling requirements, and installation practices. For power, energy, and industry applications, this technical document supports more consistent decisions where cable reliability, water resistance, and long-term service behavior matter.
About P1142/D1.2, July 2009
P1142/D1.2, July 2009 focuses on cable systems designed to limit moisture ingress through radial barriers or longitudinal water-blocking features. As a draft guide, it is typically used to inform technical evaluation rather than to define a final product claim. The document is relevant to selection criteria, testing considerations, application conditions, and installation methods that can affect cable integrity. It is especially useful where moisture exposure, buried runs, or damp operating conditions may influence electrical performance and durability.
Where is P1142/D1.2, July 2009 used?
This standard is mainly used in power and industrial cable work where moisture control is part of the design or procurement process. It may guide utility projects, plant distribution systems, underground installations, and other cable routes that face wet soil, water exposure, or challenging service environments. P1142/D1.2, July 2009 can also support engineering teams, inspectors, and suppliers when evaluating cable construction, installation practices, and test expectations for moisture-barrier or water-blocking designs.
Importance in practice
The practical value of P1142/D1.2, July 2009 lies in reducing uncertainty around cable selection and installation for moisture-sensitive applications. By giving structure to testing and application decisions, it can help improve consistency across design, procurement, and field work. That matters for safety, reliability, and lifecycle performance, especially where water ingress could lead to insulation damage, service interruptions, or higher maintenance costs. Using a clear guide also supports better comparison between cable options and more disciplined compliance review.
