MODUK DEF STAN 81-20 PDF

This Standard specifies the dimensions and construction of wooden drums for the transport and storage of electric cables in normal conditions, both at home and overseas. The range of drum sizes (metric units) has been standardized by the cable making industry.

For some types of cables, and/or exceptional conditions of transport or storage, special drums may be required. In such cases the advice of the cable manufacturer should be sought on the design of a suitable drum in line with the basic design principles of this Standard.
