Title: Cable gland tightening method and guide
Inventor: ANDREW LOWSON
IPC: H02G15/013
Filed: 2010-11-19
Abstract: A tape 10 applied around a cable is used in determining a number of turns to be applied to a nut of a cable gland for tightening the cable gland onto a cable. The tape 10 has graduations 14 indicating a recommended number of turns to be applied to the nut of the cable gland for tightening the cable gland onto a cable of corresponding circumference. The distance of each graduation 14 from a reference point 16 on the tape 10 is substantially equal to the corresponding circumference of the cable. Thus the degree of tightening is related to the circumference or diameter of the cable. A method of calibrating the scale involves determining the pulling force required to dislodge the cable from the gland in accordance with the number of turns required to properly tighten the gland.
