The Geaquello System pourable cable transits pourable cable penetrations approved for marine use The Geaquello System comprises: swell strips, impregnation fluid, and sealing compound. It is fireproof, gas-tight and watertight and has been approved by all reputable classification societies and national authorities. Lloyd's, DNV, Veritas, ULC, UL  No adapters, molded components or subdividers are required for installation, in spite of varying cable diameters.  It is therefore possible to design cable penetrations exactly as required for ship building applications, allowing for the minimum length (sealing length plus end wall thicknesses) and the protection of cable (max. 40%) (refer to user information)  1.Building up the end wall The end wall is built up by fitting the swell strips roughly around the cables. This ensures that the minimum clearance is maintained between the individual cables. The strips can be torn apart at the preformed cuts to produce short sections. The swell strips must be used to separate all of the cables from one another and from the supporting wall to ensure that each cable is later enclosed by the sealing compound.  2.Sealing the end wall The swell strips expand when sprayed with the blue impregnation fluid E824, creating a stable sealant-proof, green end wall in a matter of minutes. Once the strips have been sprayed correctly and have swollen, the resulting end wall is flame resistant, fire-retardant, self extinguishing and free of halogen. The porous strips stimulate the drying process.  3.Mixing the sealing compound E 950 Only the powder component is supplied for this sealing compound. Its liquid component, drinking water, is simply added on site and mixed until the sealing compound is ready to use. The correct mixing ratio is around two parts powder to one part drinking water by weight or volume. This sealing compound can be removed easily for subsequent cable installation. The relative density is approximately 1.0.  Once mixed, the resulting sealing compound can be poured and pumped easily. If the mixing ratio is correct, the compound will run from the mixing stick in a thin stream, without forming drops and free of lumps, from a height of around .3m (approx. 1 foot). All items can be simply cleaned with water within the application life time of the material.  4.Sealing the cable penetration Penetrations have been properly sealed when the filling and venting apertures have been filled to the brim and the sealing compound no longer sinks. All cables are then hermetically encapsulated by the sealing compound. The compounds thickens after an application time of approximately 60 minutes and is set after approximately 3 - 4 hours at room temperature. Chemical hardening takes place over a period of approximately 72 hours.  All components of the Geaquello system demonstrate a neutral reaction, are generally recognized as being physiologically safe and do not require special identification markings. There are no signs of incompatibility with marine cables which comply with the following standards, even if subsequently subjected to the effects of moisture or heat: IEC 92-3, JIS C 4310, DIN 89158-60 and VG 95 218, parts 60 to 66. Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for the Geaquello system products are available on request.
