Abstract
The history and merits of various techniques developed to achieve the current levels of cleanliness in the cable industry are reviewed, with regard to the fabrication of polyethylene and cross-linked polyethylene insulation and shield materials. The detection methods now used include magnetics, eddy currents, and electrooptics. A description of commercially available equipment and statistically based reasons for a 100% inspection program at the site of cable manufacturing are included.<>
