Armoured Cable Glands for Petrochemical and Offshore Use

Armoured cable needs a gland that terminates the armour properly as well as sealing the entry. AP Technology supplies Ex-E metallic glands for armoured cable in petrochemical and offshore applications, manufactured in nickel plated brass with an IP68 seal. They are designed for use with electrical equipment in hazardous locations. Send the cable details and armour type when enquiring, and the certification should be checked against your installation requirements before the gland is finally specified. For potentially explosive areas, Bimed Ex proof glands are available in plastic and in nickel plated brass versions for armoured and non armoured cable, with ATEX approval to increased safety level e. Final selection should always be checked against the current certificate and the zoning of your installation. If nothing standard fits, bespoke glands can also be produced by modifying existing tools or by creating new tooling. Design details make the difference during installation. There are no screw clamps to damage cable insulation, a lamellate construction gives equal cable compression, and a trapeze thread eliminates cross threading.

Metallic versions in nickel plated brass carry the same IP68 protection with a waterproof neoprene seal and a polyamide clamping insert, and they are available with metric, Pg, NPT and Eurometric threads. Based in Hayes with stock held in the UK, AP Technology ships to manufacturers, subcontractors, installers and resellers worldwide. The company is ISO 9001 quality accredited and works from design, sourcing and manufacture through to delivery, so one technical sales team can look after a project from the first question to the final consignment.
