Doc. No: 000-ZA-E-M09411 16 | P a g e

GOSP Project
 This type of seal is usually employed in a cable gland that utilizes in a 3 stage ‘Step by Step’
sequential make off, where the tightening of the armour termination is separated from the
activation of the inner seal. This enables the effectiveness of the seal on the cable inner
bedding to be tested before the armour is terminated. This means that unlike other designs,
the user is able to determine that the engagement of the seal on the inner cable bedding is
not too light and not too heavy, affording some level of control over the installation.
 Cable gland sealing application for Instrument Cables shall be installed to the followings:
Step 1:
a) The cable sealing is supplied along with the cable gland.
b) The cable gland and sealing compound are free issue from the main contractor

C. SPLICING
Doc. No: 000-ZA-E-M09411 18 | P a g e

GOSP Project
A splice may be considered as two or more conductors joined with a suitable connector, reinsulated,
re-shielded and re-jacketed with compatible materials applied over a properly prepared surface.
Whenever possible, splicing is normally voided. However, splicing is often a necessity based on
manufacturer maximum cable length provision.
There can be many reasons for building splices such as:
1. The supplied length of cable is not sufficient to perform the intended job.
2. Cables damaged after installation
3. A tap into an existing cable
In all the above cases, the option is to either splice the cable or replace the entire length. The
economy of modern splicing products in many cases makes splicing an optimal choice, however any
splicing provision must be agreed with SAPMT prior to execution.
 SPLICING STEPS
The previously quoted definition accurately develops five common steps in building a splice:
1. Site Preparation
2. Splicing
3. Re-insulate
4. Re-shield
5. Re-jacket
1. Site Preparation
a. All approved documents and permits relevant on the activities shall be available on site.
b. Only experienced and qualified persons are allowed to perform cable splicing.
c. Ensure the working site is safe from any hazardous objects, chemical, etc.
2. Splicing
a. Prepare the cable to be splice as per COMPANY Standards and Manufacturer

Procedures.
b. Removed the outer jacket of the cable using electric knife to take out the metallic shield,
insulating shield, insulation and conductor.
Doc. No: 000-ZA-E-M09411 19 | P a g e

GOSP Project
c. Metallic shield, insulating shield, insulation and conductor will be cut and exposed the
required length base on the manufacture splicing procedure.
d. Ensure that the outer jacket, metallic shield, insulating shield, insulation and conductor
are properly cleaned before the splicing activities will start.
e. Connect the conductor using the suitable compression or crimp type connector for the
cables.
f. Metallic shield armour will be connected using the flexible wire mesh and metallic tape.
3. Re-insulate
a. Conductor shall be wrapping by appropriate electrical and rubber tape.
4. Re-shield
a. Metallic shield armour will be connected using the flexible wire mesh and metallic tape
and will be wrap by electrical tapes.
5. Re-jacket
a. Re-jacketing is accomplished using hot or cold shrinkable tube, or other manufacture

approved method or procedures, approved by SAPMT and operations.
