Reel, Water Immersion

A reel designed for immersion in water while insulation tests are conducted. Reels for this application must have some form of corro­sion resistance. Reels are manufactured in aluminum alloy or in steel with the beaded edge type of flange (the same type as used for braiding pur­poses). Note: some manufacturers also do tank tests on wooden reels.
