Convoluted Tubing, Metal Core Conduit and Tinned Copper and Other Types of Tubular and Flat Braided EMI Shielding Products

The first step in conduit system design is to identify the critical performance requirements of the wire enclosure. Or in other words, to determine what exactly the conduit system is supposed to do. For general duty applications these requirements might range from protecting the wires and terminations from moisture to preventing physical damage due to rough handling. In high-performance settings, additional requirements such as protection from extreme temperatures and radiation are commonly considered. In harsh environmental conditions, the ability of chosen materials to resist damage from hydraulic fluids, fuels, lubricating oils, solvents and decontaminating agents comes into play. The following properties are routinely considered in designing an appropriate wire enclosure solution:

• Field/Factory Assembly
• Environmental/NBC Protection
• Electromagnetic Protection
• Flammability
• Crush Resistance
• Temperature Tolerance
• Abrasion Resistance
• Flexibility
• Tensile Strength
• Size and Weight
• Repairability

Because the range of performance requirements is so broad, Glenair manufactures and stocks an equally broad range of conduit products: from plastic convoluted tubing to various forms of metal-core conduit. Understanding the performance properties of these products is the key to the initial selection of material.
