Underwater Cables are important equipment that are used in the protection of underwater cables. These glands are the ones that stop the water in and the cables that are carrying electricity or signals in the sea are destroyed. Cable glands should be good to prevent leakage of cables, otherwise they may fail and cause sufferings to ships, oil rigs and seaborne sensors. HongXiang manufactures high quality and durable deck cable gland that has the ability to be resistant to the harsh environment under the sea.
The installation of the subsea cable glands is not simple because such components are supposed to serve the long term in the water without collapsing. A subsea cable gland is an exclusive part that helps to cover and secure the cables by entering the underwater apparatuses eg. sensors or communication devices. The fitting of the gland to the cable in place is one of the important problems.
The answer to these issues is select of a subsea cable gland which is appropriate. HongXiang is making tight and corrosion-resistant glands. The workers should also be careful in installing the cable size and glands in order to make them identical. Cleaning the cable and gland will also minimize the possibility of dirt or salt water in the cable by cleaning them before assembly. Yes, it is also rather important to use the right tools, as well as follow the instructions. In some cases additional sealing material such as special grease or tapes is offered to prevent water penetration. Installation of pumping a m20s cable gland creates new opportunities in the detection of early leakages before installation and where possible during mounting under pressure or even under water tanks. When this information is put into consideration, the cable gland is able to serve the sea effectively and with a longer duration of time.
There are several ways in which underwater cable glands can fail and create difficulties to underwater equipment. One of the reasons that lead to the breakdown of a cable is water intrusion. This occurs when the gland that covers the cable does not do so, this means that water enters inside it to destroy such wires. Another issue that takes place regularly is corrosion whereby the metal parts of the gland corrode over time due to exposure to the salty seas water. The gland will be gnashed out by corrosion and may break or leak. At times this gland may as well be dislodged when it was not torqued firmly when it was installed. It may also come in handy when there will be water infiltration or cable loosening.
To avoid all these failures, one should consider using a good quality glands such as HongXiang that was not only designed to be water and corrosion resistant. It should be correctly installed - the installer should follow directions carefully, ensure the tightness of the gland is being attained, and that correct tools should be used. Regular inspection is also a good method. One of the conditions that can be first found before significant damages are made is through glands check over a duration or corruptions or loosening. Corrosion can be slowed down by protective coating or treatment of metal parts. Even more so the option of submersible cable gland with corrosive resistant materials such as stainless steel or special plastics is also contributing to the long life.
