US Patent:

20110257905, Oct 20, 2011

Filed:

Apr 14, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/759752

Inventors:

Allen Hooper - Acworth GA, US

International Classification:

G06F 19/00
G01L 1/00

US Classification:

702 43

Abstract:

A cable pull calculator may be provided. First, wire number data, a wire type, and size data may be received. Next, a minimum conduit size for the conduit maybe calculated based upon the received wire number data indicating the number of wires to be placed in the conduit and the received size data corresponding to each of the wires to be placed in the conduit. Then, the calculated minimum conduit size may be displayed. Next, a first desired conduit size, a conduit type, and pull information indicating a course of the conduit may be received. Then, for each of the plurality of segments, a tension value and a sidewall pressure value may be calculated based at least on the conduit type, the first desired conduit size, the received wire type, and the received size data. The calculated tension value and the calculated sidewall pressure value may then be displayed.
