GENERAL
INTRODUCTION
BC Conduit has started production of a variety of high quality unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (UPVC)
compounds in its state-of-the-art factory in Bahra, which has an annual output capacity of over 36,000
tons.
The company sources UPVC feedstock for the new factory from Saudi Basic Industries Corporation
(SABIC) to produce the granule used for jacketing and insulating the cables. SABIC is one of the worlds
largest manufacturers of UPVC and the sole producer in Saudi Arabia.
The factory built with the expertise of Buss Company of Switzerland, is completely integrated and
equipped with the latest technologies in the field.
The ability to manufacture UPVC compounds improves BCCs control over the material used in its cable
and wire production, reduces product cost and adds higher performance values to its products.
The new factory also eliminates the need for local sourcing of UPVC compounds, ensures superior
quality production of cables and creates more career opportunities in the region at the same time.
AREA
Bahra Cables Company has a total land area of about 300,000sqm at disposal.
The built-up area, including offices and plant, of start up phase is more than 100,000sqm.

MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS
MATERIAL INTRODUCTION
Unplasticised Poly(Vinyl Chloride), commonly known as UPVC, was first recognized and characterized
more 110 years ago, but due to its poor thermal stability making processing difficult, it was potentially
introduced to the market only by 1930.
The problem caused by poor thermal stability were overcome by development of suitable stabilizers
systems and UPVC is now one of the worlds leading synthetic polymer having very diverse applications.
The ability to change its properties, by the addition of plasticisers, from a hard rigid material to one that
is soft and flexible enables a wide variety of processing equipment to be used to produce an almost
limitless range of products to a thick cream.
UPVC is used for the production of extrusions and molding. And it is universally accepted as having the
most suitable properties for use within the electrical industry.
BC Conduit Standards
BC Conduit UPVC products are manufactured in accordance with the British Standards, American
Standard, SASO Standard, and UL Standards.

TECHNICAL
Types of Run
It has been required for conduit to distinguish the run exceed 2.9m (the run not exceeding 2.9 meters
in length) and runs of any length put in bend or sets as:
1. Straight Run not exceeding 2.9 meters in length.
2. Straight Run exceeding 2.9 meters in length.
(The word Bend signifies a British Standard 90o Bend and one double set is equivalent to one bend)
Case 1. Each conduit size is represented by only one part.
Case 2. Each conduit size has a inconsistent part which is dependent on the length of run and the
number of bends or Expansion Couplings. For a certain size of cables the part allocated to case 1 is not
the same as case 2 above.
Variable Factors (Inconsistent Part) Different variable parts affect the effort to arrive at a standard
method of evaluating the capability of conduit. Some of these are the following:
- Tolerance in cables sizes
- Reasonable Care (of drawing in)
- Tolerance in conduit
- Acceptable use of the space available
15 YEARS GUARANTY
BC Conduit shall guaranty and warranty the supplied UPVC conduits and accessories for a period of 15
years for indoor use only, from the date of delivery against the products malfunction due to material,
workmanship and manufacturing defects.
BC Conduit guaranty and warranty shall not apply if the customer uses or installs the products improperly,
when such an improper use is judged using the national and /or internationally recognized standards
and codes of the electrical Industry.
The Guaranty shall not extend to items not manufactured by BC Conduit, or to any damages or defects
resulting from the use of products in a manner other than what these intentionally designed for, nor the
mishandling or misuse during their transport or storage.
Conduits, Grades, Area and Weights
BC conduits are manufactured and tested as per IEC / EN 61386 (previously BS 6099) to withstand a
wide range of impact and compression forces starting with Medium Duty (3321) for flush and service
applications, Heavy Duty (4421) for ceiling and wall installations, and Extra Heavy Duty (5521) for
installation inside bulk concrete in temperature range of -5oC to 60oC.

For each cable it is intended to use obtain the appropriate cable factor.
2.
Add all the cable factors so obtained and compare with the factors for conduit/trunking.
3.
The size of trunking/conduit which will satisfactorily accommodate the cables is that size
having a factor equal to or exceeding the sum of the cable factors.
