Comprehensive benefits
MCT Brattberg cable and pipe transits are designed and manufactured to provide maximum benefits to all concerned as shown below.
System concept
- The system is comprehensive, i.e. contains a complete range of frames, blocks, insulation collars and complementary products.
- Long-term reliability of all components. For example, frames and insert blocks continue to provide an effective seal over the long term even when continually exposed to adverse conditions.
- A warranty period that supports long-term reliability and gives confidence in products and supplier.
- The system provides the application flexibility needed to quickly configure and install all types of cable and pipe transit.
- The design and features of each type of component, e.g. insert blocks with good identification, tight tolerances and self-lubrication, make them easy to install.
- Product costs are reduced and assembly facilitated by no special tools required to install transits.
- Packing guides are available to show how best to configure insert blocks and cables within frames.
- Transit design planning software is available for engineers/designers to save time and effort involved with configuring transits.
- To ensure consistent quality of all system components, their production is governed by an accepted and independent QA/QC system like ISO 9001.
- Transit components are durable and stable enough to allow later disassembly.
Transit frames
- The frames are strong enough to withstand extreme conditions, e.g. shock and vibration of ship bulkheads and decks.
- Each corner is multiple-welded (at least two welds) to meet the requirements of a destruction test.
- Robotic welding is used to maintain uniform and consistent high-quality welds.
- Tight dimensional tolerances to maintain the defined functionality of insert blocks and other components.
- The inner surfaces are smooth and free from residual weld spatter to facilitate insert block packing.
Insert blocks
- The cable/pipe size can be clearly identified on each insert block.
- The blocks are made of a self-extinguishing material.
- The blocks are self-lubricating to facilitate installation.
- The blocks retain their shape over the long term to maintain correct functionality.
- The blocks do not crack, melt, harden or become brittle under normal environmental conditions.
- The blocks do not release corrosive gases such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine when subject to fire.
- The blocks do not deteriorate when under attack by rodents, insects or microorganisms.
- The blocks are moulded to tight tolerances to ensure uniform and accurate sizing.
- Block design prevents displacement after installation.
- The blocks result in minimal waste during installation.
Testing and certification
- Testing and certification are carried out on all products for safety and functionality according to the standards of the major authorities.
- Independent witnesses are allowed to visit factory, processing and testing facilities.
Customer support
- Good product literature is supplied by the manufacturer.
- The manufacturer/supplier has a good customer support program.
- The manufacturer/supplier responds quickly to customer enquiries.
- Global support is available.
- Product/application training and seminars are provided.
