Down-Hole Semi-Rigid Cable Compression Seal Fitting

Case Study:

Application: A Conax Customer required a leak-tight compression sealing gland of semi-rigid jacketed seismic cable with internal electrical conductors and pressure tubes without severely pinching the cable and damaging the internal conductors.

Conax Solution: Conax developed a double sealant, double angle combination packing gland assembly to minimize the deformation of the semi-rigid cable while maintaining the pressure rating. In-house Conax tests demonstrated that a conventional Conax Single Sealant Packing Gland (PG) performed equally well to Conax's new PG Soft Cable - Double Sealant Gland with less deformation of the semi-rigid cable.
