We'd like to keep in touch
We have some exciting things in the pipeline - if you'd like to be the first to know please enter your email address below.
Globally Approved, Explosive Atmosphere Barrier Cable Gland
• Metal-to-metal armour clamping
• Direct & remote installation
• Compound barrier type flameproof seal
• Controlled outer ‘load retention’ seal
• Unique OSTG prevents overtightening
• Integral protected deluge seal
• -60°C to +85°C
• Globally marked, IECEx, ATEX, UL & cCSAus
• Superior EMC performance
• Compound barrier seals around internal cable cores after removing any inner cable sheath/bedding; completely eliminating any risk of coldflow
† Grooved Cone (X) is predominantly used for Wire Braid (e.g. GSWB, TCWB), Steel Tape Armour (STA, DSTA) and Aluminium Strip Armour (ASA) but is also suitable for Single Wire Armour (SWA), Aluminium Wire Armour (AWA) and Pliable Wire Armour (PWA) if the range is outside that of the Stepped Cone (W).
Note: Grooved Cone (X) dimensions shown in the Cable Gland Selection Table below are for a double wire strand of braid armour cables. Tapes can also be doubled over. For cables that have only a single layer of armour such as SWA the clamping range should be used as shown in the table below.
Stepped (W) Cone is suitable for Single Wire Armour (SWA), or Aluminium Wire Armour (AWA) cables.

Deluge Protection Specification DTS 01:91
The DTS:01 Test Specification was developed by Shell UK in conjunction with ERA Technology, based in Leatherhead, Surrey. Since its inception in 1991 it has been widely accepted by all major offshore operating companies as the standard to meet with respect to deluge protection.

In addressing the factors of risk in the explosive atmosphere, a process of risk assessment and risk control should be undertaken to ensure a safe working environment. This process will involve identifying who and what is likely to be at risk of harm, and will include an evaluation of these risks.
