V{SKETETT SAMMENF¦YNING FOR ELEKTRISKE KABLER

摘要

A fluid-tight joint between an end of a metal cable sheath and another metal body having a throughbore, for instance another metal cable sheath or a metal joint enclosure, is effected by shaping a length of the sheath adjacent the end in such a way that the extreme end of the sheath is radially spaced from the cable core. The metal body is arranged to embrace the shaped length and a second metal body is arranged to engage the inner surface of the shaped length in such a way that the extreme end of the sheath is exposed and lies close to an adjacent part of the first or each metal body. Molten metal is applied over the extreme end of the sheath and over said adjacent part of the first or each metal body, e.g. by welding, to form an adherent body of the metal. Preferably the area of the adjacent part of the first or each metal body is equal to the cross-sectional area of the extreme end of the sheath.
