Abstract
A method of environmentally protecting an elongate substrate with a cover and a sealing means comprising a sealing material having an elongation of at least 100% and a compression set at 70.degree. C. of less than 30%, which comprises positioning the sealing means around a portion of the substrate and surrounding the substrate with the cover such that the sealing material provides a seal between the cover and the substrate.
Claims22
A cable test comprising:
- (a) a substantially rigid portion:
- (b) a sealing material retained by the portion (a);
- the portion (a) comprising two end parts between which is positioned the sealing material and that can be moved towards one another thereby providing a compressive force on the sealing material, each end part comprising an inner part and one or more outer parts that in use lie around the inner part, a port for a cable being provided partly within the inner part and partly within the outer part the port thereby being formed into a port of substantially closed cross-section when the inner and outer parts are brought together.
