We take the opportunity to introduce ourselves as Gravita Group of Companies.

We are
an ISO 9001:000 Certified Indian Company havin! o"n #co$%riendly &ead
manufacturin! 'lant at (aipur India) other 'lant at Colom*o $ Sri &anka) Ghana) +ddis
+*a*a #thiopia , operations in various other countries across the !lo*e.
&ead "as one of the first materials to *e used to provide an impervious sheath on electric
ca*les.
+ &ead Sheath is availa*le on many types of "ire and ca*le insulations. -his sheath is
completely moisture proof and very dura*le. Where *oth mechanical stren!th and
moisture resistance are re.uired) a com*ination of lead sheath and armor can *e used.
/nder!round ducts and "et locations are typical areas "here lead$sheathed ca*les are
used.
&ead has the ma0or advanta!e that it can *e applied to the ca*le core in unlimited len!ths
*y e1trusion at temperatures "hich do not dama!e even the most sensitive conductors
2optical fi*ers3 or insulatin! materials 2paper or plastics3. &ead is plia*le and so can
"ithstand the several coilin!) uncoilin!) handlin! and *endin! operations involved durin!
the later manufacturin! sta!es and installation of the ca*le. + lead sheath can *e readily
soldered 2a!ain at lo" temperatures3 "hen ca*le len!ths need to *e 0ointed or ne" ca*les
installed. With modern scre"$type continuous e1truders) un 0ointed len!ths of su*marine
po"er ca*les as lon! as 100 kilometers have *een produced.
Gravita !roup is pioneer in &ead and &ead +lloy. We offer this &ead +lloy for Sheatin!
of #lectrical Ca*le. Gravita manufacture different !rade of &ead +lloy for Ca*le
Sheatin!. -he material is supplied in the form of In!ots. -he material shall conform to the
chemical composition as specified in *elo" ta*le:$

We shall *e !lad to furnish your valua*le ordered re.uirement of &ead
+dvanta!es of adoptin! lead alloy sheath: ?@ A&'# insulated po"er ca*le uses '*$S*$
-in alloy 2# alloy3 as sheath "hich is e1truded *y the !lo*al advanced lead e1truder.
Burin! the e1trudin! process of lead sheath) lead is li.uation condition. Ca*le can have a
completely continuous sealed alloy lead sheath throu!h coolin! and e1trusion pressure at
certain temperature. -here donCt have sand hole in lead sheath *ecause of scre"
e1trudin! and hi!her density lead alloy.
&ead o1ide and various impurity is much smaller than aluminum) even some impurity
inside) the impurity "ill float on the surface durin! the fusion process. Smooth ti!ht lead
sheath) inhi*itory action to the D"ater$treeC of A&'# insulated ca*le) it make ca*le can
run safely in the scheduled service life. +lloy lead sheath is a non$inclusion seamless
smooth continuous lead tu*e. It has e1cellent characteristics as hi!h density) hi!h
stren!th) anti$vi*ration and *est airti!htness) etc. %urthermore anti$acid) $alkali) $salt
properties are incompara*le "ith other metals. +lloy lead sheath is fle1i*le) *endin!
easily and has !ood performances of creepin! and anti$fati!ue crack as "ell as less heat$
meltin! and heat$conductin! coefficients and relatively more current carryin! capacity.
-he alloy lead sheathed ca*le is "idely used in overhead lines) *rid!es) alon! "ith
rail"ay) hi!h"ay. It also can *e installed under river) lake and ocean. It "ill *e
preferentially used in *ad environment.
