Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the influence of variation in sound speed in a plastic cable sheath and to take a measurement of the thickness accurately by measuring the thickness with an ultrasonic wave when the temperature of the plastic cable sheath is >=120 deg.C. CONSTITUTION:A cable core 4 is entered an extruder cross head 5 and the outer circumference is covered with the plastic sheath 3. Then, a cable 6 is run through a cooling water tank 7 and cooled with cooling water 8. The sound speed in the sheath 3 is almost constant above 120 deg.C, so an ultrasonic type thickness measuring instrument 9 is installed where the temperature of the sheath 3 is >=120 deg.C. The measuring instrument 9 is fitted with ultrasonic transducers 1A-1D so that the sheath 3 faces the respective sides of a square frame 10. The surface echo and bottom surface echo of the sheath 3 are detected and the thickness of the sheath 3 is detected from their time difference.

(Prior art) There is a method of measuring the wall thickness of a plastic cable sheath using ultrasonic waves. In this method, an ultrasonic transducer 1 emits pulsed ultrasonic waves onto the surface of a plastic cable sheath 3 of a cable 2 as shown in FIG.
The time difference T between the surface echo 01 from the surface of the plastic cable sheath 3 and the bottom echo e2 from the bottom surface of the plastic cable sheath 3 is measured, and the thickness of the plastic cable sheath 3 is measured from the following equation.

The plastic cable sheath 3 is extruded and coated around the cable core in an extruder crosshead and then fed into a cooling water bath for cooling. Ultrasonic measurements are preferably carried out underwater where the propagation conditions for sound waves are good, and for this reason conventionally the ultrasonic transducer 1 has been placed in a cooling water tank for measurements.

However, the plastic cable sheath 3 is extruded and coated at high temperatures above 160°C in an extruder crosshead.
The temperature during cooling varies depending on the condition of the cable core inside the plastic cable sheath 3, the outer diameter, etc.
Furthermore, since there is a temperature change in the circumferential direction, it is difficult to accurately estimate the temperature of the plastic cable sheath 3 using cooling water, and there is a drawback that it is not possible to accurately estimate the sheath wall thickness.
