Non-Weld Cable Transits Boost Boatbuild Speed and Safety
01 Jan 2003
Suitable for newbuilds and refits of marine vessels, the fully tested and certified GHM frame avoids expensive welding, speeds installation and reduces possible hazards.
Traditional marine cable transit frames have always been installed by welding to the bulkhead or deck. This is a time consuming process due to the need to weld in stages to allow for cooling and avoid frame distortion. Welding can also carry risks where hot work could create safety hazards.
Installation and sealing of the GHM frame is entirely mechanical.
The flange is either bolted or self tapped into the bulkhead and sealed by a concealed gasket. Much lighter than welded frames, the GHM helps reduce vessel weight.
The ease and speed with which GHM frames can be installed allows them to be fitted or modified while a vessel is at sea.
All Roxtec transit systems are based on MultiDiameter Technology which enables any diameter of cable or pipe within the module's capability to be easily secured by the removal of the core and the right number of layers within the module.
The format of modules within the frame can be varied to suit client needs and unused modules can be left in the frame for future cable expansion.
A compression module within the frame ensures perfect sealing and allows frames to be decompressed when the services pasing through the frame are modified.
The GHM frame has a 60 minute fire rating and has been tested and certified for use in A-60 class bulkheads.
