Before cable gland products can correctly be selected tosuit the users application, there are a number of variable factors that need to be determined. Without this infor- mation it is difficult to make an accurate selection or rec- ommendation. Some of these factors may include location, installation code of practice, environmental conditions, industrial or classified hazardous area, type of equipment and details of the cable to be used.Here are some general guidelines that may help to identifythe appropriate cable gland product to...

Beyond this otherexceptions still exist. The IEC installation code of practice IEC 60079-14 is very clear about the selection...

11 If the cable gland is not certified as part of the equipmentbut tested and certified as a separate component, and the used cable is substantially compact and circular the selection chart can be used > if the cable is not round, it is not possible to rely upon anelastomeric seal to perform a sealing function around the cable sheath. An example of a cable that fits this scenario is a twisted pair instrument cable where the insulated conductors beneath the inner cable bedding do notusually offer a round (circular) surface on which to seal.If the inner bedding follows the same shape, then an elastomeric...
