Once the horizontal line intersects the diagonal line between the maximum and minimum temperature points, draw a vertical line projected downward to determine the required gap setting. In this

Cable Tray Technical Guide A practical guide to product selection

Cable tray length is selected based on the load to be supported, the distance between the supports (also referred to as the span), and handling and installation constraints.

Thermal Contraction and Expansion of Cable Tray

For a 100° F differential (winter to summer), a steel cable tray will require an expansion joint every 128 feet and an aluminum cable tray every 65 feet. The temperature at the time of installation will dictate
