Field Compatibility Of Cold-shrink Cable Accessories In Oilfield Applications

Cold-shrink cable accessories, a type of accessory made using pre-expanded elastomer materials, rely on the elastic recoil properties of the material during installation to achieve a tight seal around cable ends or joints without the application of external heating.

In environments such as offshore drilling platforms, crude oil processing plants, and oilfield gathering and transportation pipelines, exposure to salt spray corrosion, strong ultraviolet radiation, and alternating temperature fluctuations is extremely harsh. Against this backdrop, Cold Shrink Cable Accessories utilizes high-performance silicone rubber or ethylene propylene rubber materials, which exhibit high adaptability to ultraviolet radiation and aging. This technology has been adopted by industries including petroleum and chemical engineering.
