TECK90 3C 2 AWG 1000 V
Nominal calculation, not one manufacturer's datasheet. The conductors are NEC Chapter 9 Table 8; the RW90 walls, the bond, both jackets and the armour band are the values seven makers print or give through their diameters, because CSA C22.2 No. 131 was not read. Check the datasheet before you specify or order.
By NEC Table 8 and the catalogued walls, TECK90 3C 2 AWG 1000 V comes to an overall diameter of about 35.0 mm and a weight of about 1,760 kg/km.
