About Me
What are cable ties and what are they used for?
They’re fasteners that bundle your cables and wires together to keep them
organised and prevent damage. They come in different sizes, lengths, materials and
even colours. The different uses of <a href="https://www.gordon-elec.com/cable-
tie/">Cable Ties vary across industries, but what they all have in common is that
they’re the most effective way to manage your cables.
First, let’s get a picture of the type of cable ties available. The table below
is by no means exhaustive, as there are subsets of cable ties within this table. For
example, standard cable ties can be weather resistant, which gives them different
applications than their cousins’.
Standard cable ties are a fantastic all-rounder, but when you need specialised
cable ties, you can get those too.
Nylon
The most common material for cable ties, nylon is a tough material with good
thermal, and abrasion resistance. It also resists fuels and most chemicals. Nylon
6/6, the grade most often used for cable ties, meets UL 94 V-2 flammability ratings
and has a working temperature range from -40°C to 85°C.
Nylon Cable
Ties can be heat stabilised for continuous or extended exposure to high
temperatures of up to 121°C. The cable tie manufacturing process can also produce UV
stabilised ties for outdoor use. For example, you can have the same cable tie, but
manufactured for different applications.
Stainless Steel
ties/">Stainless Steel Cable Ties provide high tensile strength. They can also
stand extremely high temperatures, from –200°C to 538°C. There are two types of
stainless steel used in cable ties: 304 and 316. Type 304 is used for general
purposes, with both indoor and outdoor applications. When corrosion is a threat, it’
s Type 316 you need.
Cable Glands - What Are They?
A Cable Gland (more often
known in the U.S. as a cord grip, cable strain relief, cable connector or cable
fitting) is a device designed to attach and secure the end of an electrical cable to
the equipment. Cable Glands address an essential requirement in cable management
planning and implementation. Their foremost purpose is to grip and seal electrical
cables where they pass through a dividing barrier, such as upon entry to a piece of
equipment or where they pass through a bulkhead or panel. This is achieved by
gripping either the outer sheath of the cable or the armour wire, or by a combination
of the two. Cable glands are available in countless designs and features but these
can be distilled down to four essential functions.
How Do Cable Glands Work
Glands consist of multiple threaded parts which fit together to grip the cable
and secure the gland assembly and cable to a piece of equipment or panel. The number
of parts varies depending on the application and the required level of protection.
There are several variations on this theme but nearly all cable glands work along
this fundamental principal of a threaded entry assembly that connects to the
equipment and additional threaded nuts which secure the cable to the assembly. These
may provide additional seals on both the inner and outer sheath, allow for connection
to braided cables, special EMC connections or increased safety for hazardous areas.
<a href="https://www.gordon-elec.com/electrical-flexible-conduit-and-conduit-
fittings/">Electrical Flexible Conduit and Conduit Fittings in external
appearance resembles its close relative, liquid-tight flexible nonmetallic conduit.
Both have smooth grey outer jackets that are liquid tight. Type Liquid Tight Flexible
Nonmetallic Conduit has an internal steel shield, which makes it more powerful and
much less at risk to kinking. Either of these raceways can be created in mild curves
to change instructions and also to stay clear of challenges. Additionally, the
versatility works for ending at motors where there is likely to be heavy vibration.
Liquid-tight flexible metal conduit is allowed to be used in exposed or hidden
locations where adaptability or protection from liquids, vapors or solids is
required. It is permitted in specified unsafe (classified) places and also it may be
used for direct interment where detailed and marked for the purpose.
fittings/metal-flexible-conduit/">Metal Flexible Conduit is not to be used were
subject to physical damage.
There are some dimension limitations. Liquid-tight flexible metal conduit smaller
sized than statistics designator 16 (trade dimension 1/2) is not to be utilized.
However, an exemption permits metric designator 12 (trade size 3/8) for enclosing
motor leads. The optimum dimension of Liquid-Tight Flexible Metal Conduit allowed is
metric designator 103 (trade dimension 4).
The optimum number of bends is not to be a lot more that the equivalent of four
quarter bends between pull factors. Subject to exemptions, liquid-tight adaptable
steel conduit is to be safely secured in place within 12 in. of boxes, as well as
protected at periods not over 4 1/2 ft.
If liquid-tight flexible metal conduit is used to minimize resonance to or supply
flexibility for relocating tools, an equipment-grounding conductor must be provided.
Or else, the internal metal sheath will certainly be adequate.
Liquid Tight Flexible Metal Conduit is a long lasting alternative wiring
approach. Where suitable, it contributes to an attractive appearance in commercial
and also commercial job and also operates well in domestic settings for powering
water pumps and also fixed devices where there is ambient wetness in addition to
resonance.
Electrical
Connector is a device that joins electric conductors mechanically and
electrically to other conductors and to the terminals of apparatus and equipment. The
term covers a wide range of devices designed, for example, to connect small
conductors employed in communication circuits, or at the other extreme, large cables
and bus-bars.
Electrical connectors are applied to conductors in a variety of ways. Soldered
connectors have a tube or hole of approximately the same diameter as the conductor.
The conductor and connector are heated, the conductor inserted, and solder flowed
into the joint until it is filled. Solderless connectors are applied by clamping the
conductor or conductors in a bolted assembly or by staking or crimping under great
mechanical force.
Typical connector types are in-line splice couplers, T-tap connectors, terminal
lugs, and stud connectors. Couplers join conductors end to end. T-tap connectors join
a through conductor to another conductor at right angles to it (illus. a). Terminal
lugs join the conductor to a drilled tongue for bolting to the terminals of equipment
(illus. b). Stud connectors join the conductor to equipment studs; the stud clamp is
threaded or smooth to match the stud.
A Hose Clamp is designed to
secure a hose over a fitting, by clamping the hose down, it prevents the fluid in
the hose leaking at the connection. Popular attachments include anything from car
engines to bathroom fittings. However, hose clamps can be used in a variety of
different industries in order to secure the transportation of products, liquids,
gases and chemicals.
There are four overarching categories of hose clamp; screw/band, spring, wire and
ear. Each different hose clamp is used depending on the type of hose in question and
the attachment at the end.

The art of calligraphy - and for the ancient Chinese it certainly was an art - aimed to demonstrate superior control and skill using brush and ink. Calligraphy established itself as one of the major Chinese art forms during the Han dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE), and for two millennia after, all educated men were expected to be proficient at it.
