Brilliant, thats exactly what I am after. I do not have my paperwork at hand at the moment, tomorrow I will post cable sizes etc..
By the way where did you get this info from?

It is an old book I have, the info is about 10 years old, but I would imagine it is the same.
it has R1 R2 values and nearly everything relating to pyro up to 240mm single core!! and 1.5 mm nineteen core!!
I did a lot of pyro once.
I dont know what other people use or how they fill the forms in nowadays though.
There may be something on the BICC or pyrotenax websites.
You are best to get size off the glands ie 2L2.5 or 2H2.5
I will post the popular sizes later anyway and let us know if you need any more.
These are from tables supplied from BICC From what I recall though the sheath material is Phophorus Deoxidised Copper,which has a different resistivity to High Conductivity Copper , so it was necessary to convert the actual area to an equivalent area of HC Copper.
Unfortunately I cannot remember the actual fomula or whether this only applied to the bigger sizes, sorry.
