Roxtec - Multi-Diameter Cable and Pipe Transits

Roxtec International designs and manufactures cable and pipe transits for the offshore industries.

MULTI-DIAMETER TECHNOLOGY

Our invention, multidiameter technology, is as simple as it is ingenious. Each module or seal consists of two halves of EPDM-based rubber with removable layers and a center core. Thanks to the multi-layer technique, individual modules and seals can handle cables or pipes of different dimensions by simply peeling away layers from the two halves.

The technology reduces the need for different parts as well as installation time to a minimum. As a result, it makes planning easier and saves money by simplifying the work of consultants, buyers, designers and installers.

THE SEALING SYSTEM

Roxtec transits are available in a wide range of types and sizes for various environments and uses. We supply modular-based transits for multiple pipe penetrations as well as seals for single pipe penetrations. The system includes frames that are filled with sealing modules and sealed with a compression unit. All Roxtec transits feature our unique multidiameter technology.

ROXTEC IN THE OFFSHORE INDUSTRY

Roxtec's sealing system is used to seal all types of penetrating cables and pipes passing through walls and floors on platforms, as well as bulkheads and decks on other offshore units. The seals are used between different sections and constructions, such as machine rooms, storage rooms, living compartments and on the bridge. The system is well adapted to withstand tough conditions both above and below the waterline.

Purposes vary, from protection and sealing against fire, jet-fire, water and gas pressure and explosions, to protection against electromagnetic interference. The system is also well suited to seal hydraulic pipes, for example, since the rubber absorbs vibrations and reduces noise.

Roxtec's products have been fully tested and approved for use in A class and H class rated sections according to IMO Res. A.754 (18) and SOLAS. Roxtec's sealing system has also been approved according to military standards in various countries. The majority of classification societies such as Lloyd's, ABS, Bureau Veritas and DNV certify our products.

BENEFITS

Minimum stock needed – our transits seal cables and pipes in a wide range of diameters with the very few parts and sizes required. This minimises the need for stock and simplifies logistics.

Easy planning and installation – there is no need to know the exact diameter of each cable. Since each module can handle a variety of diameters the installations can be finished right away. The wedge, used to seal the penetration, is easy to install and makes installation faster.

Forward thinking – thanks to the multidiameter technology, extra capacity can be added from the beginning. Just open the sealing and new cables can be passed through without adding any further items.
