| Abstract: |
An all-composite naval tow cable is proposed with enhanced compressive buckling and cut / abrasion resistance. Using a modified pultrusion injection process this approach considers new technology wireline development used in oil industry applications addressing similar current shortcomings. |
| Benefits: |
Improved compression / buckling performance; harder outside surface; weight reduction; avoidance of tension / torsion coupling; avoidance of conductor herniation under high tension re-wind; improved corrosion resistance.
Immediate application in oil industry wireline applications including greater depths. |
