Formula and Method
The cable outer diameter is matched to a typical metric gland thread range. The environment adds a sealing and certification note.
Assumptions
- Metric gland reference ranges
- Exact sealing range depends on product series
- Cable OD is measured over the outer sheath
Important Warnings
- Always verify the cable gland datasheet sealing range, thread, IP rating, material, and certification.
- Hazardous areas require properly certified glands and installation practices.
FAQ
Is cable gland thread size the same as sealing range?
No. A thread size can support different sealing ranges depending on gland design.
Should armored cable use a different gland?
Yes. Armored cables normally require glands designed to terminate and bond the armor correctly.
