Hi Alec,
The M16 cable glands
comes with a small and a big bore . they can be used from 4 to 11 mm
I tested an 5,5mm and 11
mm cable. Both can take the same pressure .
The bulkhead is from
Euronauts Dive chamber.
The brass ones are USD 3,50
the SS. ones are USD 35,- ……

Blueglobe cable glands
Wow, that is what I would consider a major discovery. I notice in the
photo you have all kinds of different cables going through that bulkhead. Did
your tests include several cable types? I would imagine the results might
depend as much on the cable as on the gland.
Hello,
On
both the Euronaut and Eurosub we use Pflitsch Blueglobe cable glands.
They
are high quality and rated for 15 Bar.
Today
I did a test in my new test chamber. The little tings can hold 100 Bar (3000
Ft) !
At
80 Bar the cable start to move but no leaks.
So
might be an option for your subs smaller cable penetrators.
Also
the UW lamp I designed for 15 Bar /150 Metres survived also 80 Bar /800 Metres
;-))
Groet,
