	Take a one metre section of the cable you are interested in knowing about, skin the insulation off of it and weigh the conductor then its insulation jacket. Multiply the values you recorded by the length you wish to know about. __________________ Joe Contractor to Electrical Inspector, "What do you mean you are going to make me follow the code?".
