      WHETHER IS IT ADVISABLE TO USE DEVIATOR FOR PAN BOX CABLES OR SHORT TENDON, WHETHER IT WILL CREATE ANY EFFECT ON ELONGATION OF THE CABLE.

        Yes, advisable. You need to use it for box-outs or pan-boxes.
        Yes, it will affect the elongation because of the huge friction just in front of the jack nose.
        For short tendons (≤9m) effect on the elongation is insignificant and for longer tendon, in my view consider little increase of load without overstressing.
        If tendon is longer than 30-35m (double live) and it is from one side pan and from other normal edge pocket see this post: http://www.ptstructure.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?16
