Hi,
I am still trying to pin down the number of Siamese cables I can get in a 2 inch schedule 40 PVC and 2" EMT.
Here is what I have come up with thanks to the previous thread.
SIAMESE CONDUIT FILL CALUCLATION BASED ON 40% FILL
Siamese Cable/Combo (RG59 & 1 Pair #22 AWG 1/2" Diameter)
1/2"=0.50"
Pi R(squared)=(.50*.50)*3.14159=
.785" area.
40% of 2" EMT = 1.342"
1.342"/.785"=1.7 cables
40% of 2" Schedule 40=1.316"
1.316"/.785"= 1.6 cables
I measured the actual cable and it is 1/2".
this does not jive with the follwoing calculations done at Belden cables site:

Thanks for any replies..
-regards
Mustang
